WASHINGTON D.C. GERMAN AMBASSADOR RESIDENCE

SPRING 2022 | SOPHOMORE 2ND SEMESTER

The Washington D.C. Ambassador Residence will encapsulate the importance of culture, traditions, and family matters. Emily Haber, the German Ambassador to the United States of America and her husband Hansjorg Haber, a retired ambassador, purchased a home in the neighborhood of Georgetown, Washington D.C and have two adult sons. The clients are expecting the home to suit their lifestyles that best expresses some of their German culture and high-end contemporary style. The Ambassador Residence is a $4 million dollar family home remodel. Both clients wish to incorporate their appreciation for cooking and entertaining. Since his retirement, Hansjorg has painted large abstract paintings from home; thus needs a studio with plentiful natural light and easy access from the master bedroom. A secluded at-home office will flatter Emily’s needs for occasional at-home working. An enclosed, mirrored yoga room located on the first floor, offers a convenience for the client’s daily practice. The clients have high expectations in a design that encompasses minimalism and cleanliness. The abstract floor-plan to the four story home, features organized sections of private and public spaces. Strategic furniture selection and space designing will benefit the importance of aging in place. This forever home will properly satisfy the needs of the clients in the delight of the German culture.
