uiet is its essence. Baffled walls absorb all echoes of unwanted sound. Color on the walls behind the wood baffles evaporates in disappearing shades to simulate dawn and dusk, the quiet inner times of the day. The Bang-Olufsen console seeks soothing tonal vibes as wanted. The Odegard carpet echoes Tibetan Prayer
Flags dissipating into winds as prayers into the universe. At one end lit yellow bowls of water cast infinite reflections left and right into a curving infinity drawing on memories of burning candles surrounding Bodhnath Temple in Kathmandu. At the other end a high definition screen in “real time” shows the earth turning from a dedicated NASA satellite. Time turns excruciatingly slow, yet at speeds unimagined. It is the only truth left on a TV these days! One rocks on the drifting sofa, pulled by two infinities, one real, one digital, rock on!

he 23,000 square foot property has been masterfully transformed into a luxury complex complete with all the modern amenities of a first class resort. The premier unit is a magnificent penthouse spanning approximately 9,500 square feet. It is equipped with its own movie theater,
50-foot ceilings and an enormous roof deck offering panoramic views of the city. This building also includes nine loft apartments that have been renovated to exceed contemporary expectations.
Each unit has been completely updated with stainless steel appliances including dishwasher, built-in microwave, side-by-side refrigerator, electric self-cleaning range, a front-loading washer/dryer and everything else needed to create a sumptuous living experience. The countertops are made of 3/4" thick white Carrera marble, reminiscent of the fine materials and period in which the school was built. The loft apartments vary in size ranging from 1,115 to 2,200 total square feet of living/work space. The 14' ceilings and light emanating from the 8' tall, 4' wide windows create a vast, open and
airy feel unlike any other traditional apartment. Many vestiges of the school’s history are found in each of the units including the original 110 year-old hardwood floors, chalkboards and school clock…even the American flag.
All nine loft units are occupied and have been rented at market rates ever since their conversion in 2005. The property offers a beautifully landscaped rear garden with a 38,000 gallon heated swimming pool and hot tub, along with a complete fitness and spa center.
The old cloakrooms have been converted into master bathrooms for each of the loft apartments. The new bathrooms are outfitted with a built-in ceramic tiled shower, claw foot soaking tub, and dual vanities with vessel sinks to give each bathroom an industrial sensibility evoking the high quality and craftsmanship original to the building itself. While the property is replete with period details, it also has the latest in wireless Internet technology provided by DC Access. Residents can use the Internet while in their apartments or while enjoying entertaining guests in any of the outdoor spaces.
Pierce School loftS
The Pierce School has enjoyed a long and interesting history in addition to occupying an important location in the city, near the H Street, NE corridor. Built in 1893, the school was alma mater to thousands of children until it closed eight decades later in 1973. The building itself is very much in the architectural spirit of celebrated German-born architect Adolf Cluss, who was responsible for the design of more than 90 structures in DC in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a number of which were public schools like the Pierce School. A notable example of Cluss’s commercial work is the nearby Eastern Market, designed in 1873. Like most large-scale buildings of its time, the Pierce School was constructed entirely of red brick, which was manufactured locally and plentiful.

Since efforts to revitalize Mount Vernon Square began in 2002, the previously underdeveloped neighborhood has come a long way. Previously a less visited area of D.C. consisting of mostly parking lots, Mount Vernon Square has become an upbeat and lively neighborhood with many businesses and activities. A combination of cheap housing, new restaurants, and office buildings has made Mount Vernon Triangle an up-and-coming place to be for young professionals.
or work events, companies can rent space at the new Walter E. Washington Convention Center or the Carnegie Library right across the street. Both venues offer full service events and have a variety of different conference and break out rooms.
During the week, make sure to stop by Busboys and Poets, a local hotspot that brings members of the community together to discuss and share art and culture. The trendy meeting place has events and readings most nights of the week.
For dinner, Mount Vernon Square has a variety of unique restaurants. If you’re looking for a bar like atmosphere with traditional American favorites, check out the new specials at Silo. If you want to try something trendy, look at Kushi’s menu for modern twists on traditional sushi and cocktails. At Alba Osteria, you can find classic Italian cuisine and Happy Hour Prices during the week from 4-7p.m.
For either brunch or an after work happy hour, we recommend City Tap House. Named one of “DC’s 10 New Must Try Brunches,” by Zagat, the menu offers an extensive array of dishes and bottomless options. During the week, you sample the bar’s large assortment of craft beer for only $5. City Tap House also provides full service events for everything from corporate events to cocktail parties.

DHM: Where did your passion for architecture stem from? How did you come up with the concept of PlayAssembly?
RA: I have loved architecture since I was 5 or 6 years old. In my childhood, I spent a big part of my free time playing with Legos, painting and making some sculpture. I think that part of this influence comes from our very talented and iconic Spanish architects (Gaudi, Bofill, Miralles, Moneo, ...) and also from traveling.
The concept of PlayAssembly comes from three different sources: first and most important, I wanted to spend quality time with my son Pau who is 9 years old. We go biking, sailing and play tennis but I also wanted to do something with him where we can use our imagination and design skills. I wanted him to live the experience of developing an idea, from the concept to the product. Second, because of my passion for architecture and third, because I found that crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter are a real provocation for people who have creative ideas. After some thought, we decided to focus on developing a construction toy that allows you to build geodesic domes. We wanted
Up & Coming
At home with Rafael AntaThis Father’s Day, DHM brings you a unique toy idea inspired by a man’s love for his son and an appreciation of architecture
District Home Magazine: Where are you from originally? What is your background?
Rafael Anta: I was born in Orense and raised in Barcelona, Spain. I have a degree in Computer Science and my professional experience is a mix of entrepreneurship, technology consulting, and innovation.
DHM: How did you end up in Washington, DC?
RA: After several years working in the business and technology consulting space, mostly in Europe, in 2005 I joined the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the largest source of development financing for Latin America and the Caribbean to reduce poverty and inequality, at its headquarters in Washington DC. I have the privilege to work in a great institution, with brilliant minds, enthusiastic and restless people who have something in common: passion for development.
to create something new that allows you to build human-size structures. I don’t know if we will reach our funding goal but there is something that I hope my son Pau will never forget from this experience: the process, the adventure, the uncertainty, the will to create something new. I hope all these will craft some of his skills.
DHM: Where can someone order the Assembly Kit?
RA: PlayAssembly is a young startup in stealth mode. We are running a crowd-funding campaign on Kickstarter.com, the world’s largest funding platform for creative projects, to bring the Assembly Kit to market. Until July 8th, people can pledge for the Assembly Kit and other great rewards. If we reach our funding goal, then we will begin manufacturing and shipping. Eventually, people could order the Assembly Kit in our website www.playassembly.com.

CLC ockeysville, Maryland, located in Baltimore
County, has both the history of a major city and the peace and quiet associated with
rural living. To see historical artifacts from the founding fathers, visit the Grand lodge of maryland. Dating back to 1787, the Grand Lodge was established by the freemasons and the Lodge upholds Masonic traditions to this day. Nearby, the Grand lodge museum and library houses the desk where George Washington resigned his commission as Commander-in-Chief as well as many other relics from the American Revolution. The quarry used to produce marble for the Washington Monument is also located in Cockeysville.
Hunt Valley’s name was based on being just east of Maryland’s more traditionally known “Hunt Country.” Each year the maryland hunt cup steeplechase horse racing and jumping championship is held in Hunt Valley.
At the end of each summer, the timonium race track hosts the annual maryland state fair. The fair features rides, concessions, and live entertainment and lasts for 11 days to conclude the summer.
For some of the best barbeque in Baltimore, stop by andy nelson’s southern pit barbeque. Former Colts player Andy Nelson makes all of his barbeque from scratch and uses family recipes to make delicious and unique BBQ dishes. The hunt Valley town center also has a variety of restaurants and shops. For traditional and fresh American cuisine, try barrett’s Grill. In the summer, you can stop by the Town Center’s Friday Night Concert Series and check out local talent.
