The Epstein residence is located in the well-established Takoma Park neighborhood in Maryland, the first planned commuter suburb in the region. The Takoma Park area is the home to multi-gabled affairs of Queen Anne Architecture with Stick Style and Shingle Style influence.
The owners deconstructed a small house and replaced it with this 4500 square foot residence. Much effort was put into designing this modern house so that it fit into the proportion and historic character of the neighborhood.
This residence is rich with green features: radiant floors, high efficiency mechanical equipment, resource efficient fixtures and appliances. All the interior and exterior wood trim is from reclaimed sources. It also incorporates wheatcore doors and durable materials, as well as local, renewable and recycled materials throughout the interior and exterior.
Takoma Park is a unique, historic neighborhood. This house fits nicely into its context and also achieves a full range of sustainable living solutions.
This house with designed by Carri Harlan in collaboration with Julie Gabrielli while at terralogos ecoarchitecture.
