I can see how even though these might be super expensive for most... that b/c they were built in Georgetown make sense. The AVERAGE median income in d.c. is $90k..and if you're buying in georgetown you're probably making well over that and able to afford these i'm sure. They have a nice mix of warm and modern materials. I have to say that glass rails for the stairs would not be my choice... can you imagine how easy those are to get dirty???!!! these are really wonderful. glad to see people are finally starting to offer something different in the realm of residential architecture around here.

I does seem strange that it costs so much to buy a 'minimal' home nowadays. For the average person I think perhaps they should look at the beautiful designs being done with prefab homes.

The myth of simplicity and minimalism continues to be dangled in front of a majority that will never be able to afford it. So covet it all you want but you'll have to be an old, fat, DC lawyer or at least sleeping with one to live here. Gorgeous but how many millions does it take to live in a box in DC?
