Description
Washington D.C. has evolved over time as an expanding tapestry of architectural styles. While civic buildings are celebrated, the District’s 300,000 homes provide a multiplicity of distinct neighborhoods and architectural styles. As homes are renovated, landscape architects thoughtfully blend community identity with modern life, elevating both neighborhood character and design.
