One of the premier estate homes in Potomac, “Ayrlawn” holds an elegant and storied place in the history of Maryland and the Nation’s Capital. Custom-built for a prominent ambassador, this Classical Georgian Revival later served as the 2006 National Symphony Orchestra Decorator Show House. The current owner, an internationally-known executive, purchased the home in 2007 and through collaboration with a top designer and master craftsmen has overseen another incomparable renovation. Still retaining its stately elegance, this home now features today’s truly sophisticated décor with state-of-the-art technology. Redesigned and newly-built rooms were created to suit the working, entertainment and family needs of a senior-level executive. Situated on a fully-landscaped, two-acre lot, the property also spotlights a spectacular pool/spa and custom grilling station. A superb property, “Ayrlawn” continues to maintain its reputation as a home of long-lasting distinction.

COMPASS: A NEW DIRECTION IN DC REAL ESTATE

District Home Magazine chatted with Robert Reffkin, founder and CEO of Compass, and Lindsay Reishman, president of Compass Washington, DC, to learn about the tech-focused brokerage, which recently expanded to the DC market. The brokerage has plans to expand nationally to 10 cities in the next two years with Miami as the next market.

Compass entered the DC market in 2014 through the acquisition of Lindsay Reishman Real Estate (LRRE). LRRE was an ideal partner for Compass because of the type of market found here in DC, the volume of the firm’s transactions, and the leadership provided by Lindsay Reishman.

Robert Reffkin explained, “Compass can only expand with great leaders, and when I asked agents in the DC area who they respected most, the response was Lindsay.”

The acquisition has been rewarding for all involved. Compass, recently valued at $360 million, has already benefited by having

knowledgeable agents in place to attract others with similar values. As a result, the DC team has nearly tripled since the acquisition.

Since its inception, Compass has raised more than $70M from investors including Founders Fund, Goldman Sachs, and Kenneth Chenault, Chairman and CEO of American Express. Compass offers a broad range of services to agents, priding itself on its data-driven valuation and pricing tools. Compass employs 21 engineers, recruited from companies including Google, Twitter, and Facebook, and the firm builds and manages technology in-house. The brokerage wants to provide agents with a tremendous experience and the support they need to grow their businesses.

And, although Compass is known for its advanced technology, the culture of the brokerage is what really sets it apart. As Robert Reffkin told DHM, “Compass doesn’t hire with a mind on revenue but more on

culture. We want the best company five years from now, not one month from now.”

Robert elaborated, “Technology is something agents see value in, but vision, people, and leadership is what attracts people.”

Both Robert and Lindsay expressed that the team aspect is key for Compass and is what makes Compass different from other agencies. In support of its agents, the management is creating a collaborative environment in which a creative studio crafts targeted marketing solutions and a dedicated development team builds intuitive digital products for clients and agents. But, of course, the ultimate goal is to provide the best client experience possible.

Compass will open a second office in DC in March, located in Capitol Hill, and is looking for additional opportunities.

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Located in the Northwest quadrant of the District, Columbia Heights is considered one of its dynamic and diverse neighborhoods. A true precedent to the power of change, Columbia Heights has transformed itself from a cluster of abandoned homes and stores to high rise condos and notable restaurants in the past decade. Since its recent renovation, the Tivoli Theater, a former movie theater and historic DC landmark on 14th street, marks the beginning of the Columbia Heights commercial district.

SMART DESIGN SOLUTIONS

How to transform a home from outdated to ideal

By Bruce Wentworth, AIA, www.wentworthstudio.com

photo by: Geoffrey Hodgdon

When a California couple relocating to the nation’s capital set out to find a residence in Northwest, Washington, DC, they stumbled upon an outdated home in their dream neighborhood of Kalorama. Built in 1986, the large, dark and gloomy house was in need of a makeover so they enlisted Wentworth, Inc.’s architect-led, design-build team to bring their new home to life.

The new homeowners desired a more livable, modern layout so the Wentworth design team tackled the dysfunctional kitchen first, suggesting an open, seamless plan for the kitchen and adjacent formal dining room. The dining room was repurposed as an informal family/breakfast room, with the formal dining area moved to one end of the living room overlooking the pool. By opening the wall that once divided the two spaces, the kitchen now flows into this airy, yet cozy family/breakfast room with a glass transom giving each space visual definition.

32 ISSU E N O . 2

By rethinking the kitchen’s long, linear space, the Wentworth team developed a design scheme with five bays, each defined by a coffered beam ceiling. The bays are multifunctional, delineating workspaces and create a more inviting kitchen. By incorporating modern necessities such as a 36-inch-wide cooktop, a 36-inch-wide, counter-depth refrigerator, a freestanding 8-foot island with bar sink, and a dry bar complete with liquor storage, the new kitchen, which also includes custom appliance storage and built-in lighting, is both user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing.

The design team also incorporated bar stool seating in the kitchen island, which features a stained-wood furniture grade finish and doubles as a wet bar/buffet for entertaining.

By salvaging the home’s original doubleacting door with tufted, soundproofing upholstery, an unobtrusive entry was also created from the stair hall to the new

kitchen. In addition, the dining room’s silver closet was transformed into a discrete powder room with custom walnut vanity and stone counter.

When it came to this Kalorama diamond in the rough, the clients saw the possibilities and embraced Wentworth’s thoughtful design choices, transforming the home from so-so to perfect. For more information about home renovations, contact architectled, design-build firm Wentworth, Inc. at 240.395.0705, x100, email Bruce Wentworth, AIA, at bwentworth@ wentworthstudio.com, or go to www.wentworthstudio.com.
