What's Hot: The 4 Projects in the Works Near DC's Starburst Intersection | A 153-Room Aloft Hotel Pitched For Mt. Vernon Triangle
This Week's Find: A Glass House in Arlington
6559 24th Street North
This Week’s Find humbles the multitude of listings claiming to be light-filled, as the home’s exterior is made up largely of windows.
Designed by area architect Rebecca Hubbard in 1993 as her primary residence, the Arlington three-bedroom has a number of architectural elements that contribute to a weightless feel: the staircases float up, the fireplace is minimalistic, and the windows drip down naturally from the roof.
Spiral Staircase
Hubbard balanced the weightlessness by making room for many sitting areas, including a family room, living room, den and library. Many of the windows look out onto Tuckahoe Park, and front and back terraces offer outdoor space (although some of the rooms already feel like they’re outside).
Living Room
In keeping with the light-filled theme, the current owners commissioned Hubbard to design a fourth floor with triangular windows and a perch-like feel, which they use as a TV-watching den (the level also has a full bathroom and additional storage space).
