CONTEMPORARY ARTIST

Robin Davisson StudioLab RD

Contemporary, abstract artist Robin Davisson wants to cultivate, encourage, and examine these connections by opening her studio to the public and offering an unfiltered, behindthe-scenes look at the art-making process.

Welcome to Georgetown’s newest creative hub, StudioLab RD. Visitors to Davisson’s sun-filled studio are invited upstairs to watch her at work —from testing ideas in her sketchbook and prepping canvases to mixing and applying paints and discerning the final touches on completed pieces. The studio’s street level houses a cozy lounge area where visitors can browse available art, flip through her extensive library of art books, enjoy a cup of coffee, kick their feet up, or all of the above!

After more than two decades working as an award-winning biomedical scientist, and reaching the peak of academia, Davisson took a leap of faith and followed her passion for art and painting. At StudioLab, you can forget the hushed, “don’t touch” mentality of many other art-centric spaces – there is always music playing, coffee brewing and creative energy flowing, which Davisson hopes will inspire guests to jump in and join her on her artistic journey or embark on one of their own.

“

At the heart of every piece of art are connections waiting to occur. The internal and external dialogues that develop before, during, and after an artist is at work. The curiosity and emotions that emerge when something challenges, moves, or inspires. The conversations that unfold when embarking upon a path of discovery, exploring hidden passions, unearthing one’s truth.

”

But you don’t have to think of yourself as an artist to visit or enjoy StudioLab. In fact, Davisson is hopeful that those who don’t consider themselves creative (a frequent fallacy!) will discover their buried artistic spark inside her studio. With salons, a creator-in-residence program and other offerings in the works, the goal of StudioLab is not only to create community for local artists and creatives, but to also introduce a wider community to an intimate backstage peek into the art world.

Davisson is accessible and available during open studio hours and is excited to chat with visitors and exchange ideas. Her intention is to explore the creative process together.

“I am bursting with so much enthusiasm for what I do now that I want everyone to be a part of it. The joy of having discovered this passion in my life after doing something seemingly so different for so long is exhilarating,” said Davisson. “I want others to experience it, too, and to take some of what I am feeling and experiencing home with them.”

The Narrow House

The narrow house is named for the lot it sits on. Dr. Darvish had to build upward and towards the back to maximize space. Though narrow from the outside, this four-level home has over 3,590 square footage of living space. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and a gourmet kitchen. Tall ceilings, custom windows, exciting shapes, angles and custom detailed artwork on all doors, this home is inspirational and exceptional.

The buyer of this house will be inheriting a proud piece of history, timeless architecture and have a blank canvas at the back to add their own vision.

Listed at $3.5M, this home is filled with custom designs, art and much more by the one and only Dr. J. Darvish.

26 | LuxuryHomeMagazine.com

The Narrow House, DC was built in 1985 by world renowned architect, Dr. Djahanguir Darvish for himself and his family. He is most famous for using the largest slab of concrete on a roof. Amongst his other accomplishments are iconic stadiums, malls, and homes in Italy, France, Iran, and the USA. He found a tiny home on a piece of land at 1452 Foxhall Rd, NW DC. Zoning in this area did not permit a complete destruction of the existing building. So, the genius architect produced an ingenious design to encompass the existing structure. A look at the sides of this current home reveals the red panel walls of the original home. A truly unique path to preservation of history.
