A Historic Rowhouse Reimagined
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
Recognizing the potential in a row house that had seen better days, the clients had a clear vision for its transformation. Working closely together, our team helped bring their hopes and dreams to life, preserving the home’s original character while introducing modern design and thoughtful, personalized touches. The entire home and basement were completely gutted, making way for a fresh, light-filled space tailored to their style.
Maximizing natural light was a key priority, along with incorporating meaningful details—including a love for the color green, bunnies, and a passion for cooking and baking. Every element was carefully considered, from custom built-ins that provide smart storage solutions to a beautifully designed kitchen that blends function and style, perfectly suited for their love of creating in the kitchen.
The transformation extends beyond the interiors, with two newly hardscaped outdoor spaces designed for both relaxation and entertaining. This project was a true collaboration, ensuring that every space reflects the clients’ personalities and needs while honoring the home’s history.

Blue Star did a wonderful job on our home renovation. Eric’s communication style is clear and measured, I knew every time I called him with questions, he would provide clarity on the situation. Blue Star’s team is very professional, with high quality design, project management and construction. I would highly recommend Blue Star to all of my friends and neighbors!

Eric and his team turned the house next door to mine on Capitol Hill into a jewel box. I was impressed with his outreach to neighbors and his attention to detail. He cares about his work and it shows.

(Blue Star’s ability to stick to the schedule) is my biggest compliment. It was a big project and finished basically on time, despite some setbacks with the foundation, etc. We were feeling pressure from bank construction loan coming due. So this was much appreciated.
