The future home of NPR at 1111 North Capitol St, NE (at L Street) keeps getting better and better. You can see what it looked like in April 2012 here. Do you like the blue panels up top?

Dear PoPville,
Thought I’d pass along a few photos of Suzane Reatig’s latest effort in Shaw, on 5th between N and O. This was a rowhouse with an empty lot next door. She gutted the rowhouse, built her typical color blocked, grey building next to it, combined the two, and then BUILT the new building over the TOP of the old one like a pop-up. And then she painted the old one purple. They share the same address, so I assume they will be condos.
In early August we looked at a Reatig project at Rhode Island and R St, NW.


Lots of progress on the two new houses being built on the 3000 block of Macomb St, NW by the Tregaron Conservancy in Cleveland Park. You can see what they looked like in April here.

Second house after the jump. (more…)

Really looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. It’s actually pretty huge:

Thanks to a reader for sending in these photos of the round house getting renovated in Brookland. You can see what it looked like pre-reno here. We will revisit when it is finished and goes on the market.

Some wild pics of inside:
