Architect Catherine Purple Cherry reimagines a traditional barn to create a rustic showhouse for classic cars.
Vol. 6, No. 6 2015 17
PUBLISHERS’ LETTER The barn has a special place in the historical imagination of the United States. The family farm—versus the corporate-run food industry—is symbolized most potently by the barn, many of which are in a state of decay across the country. This issue features two barns, one of which was recently designed and built to house a magnificent car collection in Annapolis. Another, older barn served as inspiration for a new home in the Virginia countryside.
Jan and Randy Kell, Kymberly Taylor, and Robert Haywood in front of Car Barn.
We are also delighted to share with you an award-winning outdoor fireplace. As the weather gets colder, this fireplace design allows a family to extend their outdoor living in a gorgeously crafted environment. The Annapolis Design District has taken on a new life with murals painted by Brazilian artists brought to the United States by Roberta Prado. We are excited to share these murals with you and hope you get a chance to drive down Edgewood Avenue to see these lively paintings on industrial buildings. The whole Annapolis-Washington, D.C.-Baltimore area offers an eclectic array of restaurants. Some are worth the visit and some definitely are not. In each issue we visit a restaurant so that you might have a guide the next time you dine out. You can read all our restaurant reviews at annapolishomemag.com. As the holiday season approaches, we wish you and your family great joy.

The historic Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C, is celebrating its reopening after a two-year renovation with an exhibition, Wonder. Curated by Annapolitan Nicholas Bell, this ambitious exhibition is a must see. According to Bell, the show, consisting of labor-intensive installations by nine renown artists, is titled Wonder because the artists reach for the unknown and transport us out of the everyday. The exhibition opens November 13. For more information, visit americanart.si.edu.

On the Road, the classic American novel by Jack Kerouac published in 1957, is the most famous work of the Beat Generation. It begins mid-thought, and paragraph-long sentences wind their way through this book like highways. At its core, Kerouac’s roman à clef reflects the crazy joy of the open road. A fragment of this era jives on right here in Annapolis, inside a very special barn by architect Catherine Purple Cherry, of Purple Cherry Architects. She and her team provided Maine Barn Company with the design for a post and beam New England-style barn that could serve as a giant garage and entertaining pavilion.

The traditional rural barn built in the nineteenth century in New England was commonly an inexpensive red. The roof form is typically a gable roof to ensure a large hay loft. A shallow, short roof projects above the main barn doors to repel weather. This is called a Pentice or Pent Roof and was used in some English and Dutch barns.

The owner of this gem is from Kentucky and came of age in the 1950s and 1960s. As a kid, he liked to drag race and took often to the open road. In fact, inside the garage is the very same car he drove on his first road trip: a 1961 cherry red Corvette convertible he and his brother bought in 1964 when he was sixteen. During his sophomore year of college in 1967, he and a college buddy drove the Corvette cross-country. (Coincidentally, On the Road’s cast of characters also set off during their sophomore year of college.) The pair stopped in Montreal, to attend Expo 67, Canada’s first World Fair, then drove to the West Coast and back again. After his road trip, he lived in Greenwich Village, where Kerouac’s legendary journey began. The historic Corvette lives inside the barn with many classic cars and rare motorcycles, most of them in good working order. Motorcycles include a Vincent Black Shadow, the fastest production motorcycles of its era, and, parked alongside, a ’55 Vincent Black Prince, one of the first motorcycles with enclosed bodywork. “If you rode the Black Shadow at top speed for any length of time,” wrote famous journalist Hunter S. Thompson, “you would almost certainly die.” Additional memorabilia include Mobil’s iconic red Pegasus trademark, a weather vane shaped like a Black Prince motorcycle (yes, really) and a pair of gas pumps outside. An upper loft overlooks the main showroom and collection. “It was the showroom for the most part that drove the design,” reflects Cherry, who provided the insight and engineering necessary to bring her client’s desires into being. She divided the space into three bays, with a loft and entertaining space. Its approximately 4900 square feet encompass a workroom, powder room, and bar. Once the barn was framed, her challenge was to create an invisible structure for modern amenities such as electricity and plumbing, yet preserve a rustic, wide-open feel.
Middle: Traditional four light transom windows. By the 1840s, small windows installed in cow and horse stables became increasingly popular as farmers came to recognize the health benefits of light for their herds. Bottom: The barn is constructed using traditional mortise and tenon joinery. The basic mortise and tenon comprises two components: the mortise hole and the tenon tongue.

“The barn is basically erected like a LEGO set, numbered, labeled, disassembled, shipped, and then re-erected on site,” she explains. The builder in charge of this year-long project was Guy Pilli, of Pilli Custom Homes. Pilli assembled the skeleton and then filled and fitted it out with custom doors, walls, and windows. Pilli, in business for over thirty years, notes that he has never had a project quite like this. “There were so many little quirks in it. There is a workroom with a full-lift built into the concrete floor and a commercial air compressor. The garage doors weighed 500 to 600 pounds apiece. There is a metal diamond plate backsplash in the bathroom.” Inside this automobile heaven, the beat goes on. The cars are shined up and at the ready. There is a reason for this. “The key is in each one . . . it’s hard to make a getaway in an old car, more than a 50/50 chance, there is something wrong with it,” says the owner. He is prepared. If one car should fail, there is another to take its place, for the road beckons. AH RESOURCES: Architect: Purple Cherry Architects, purplecherry.com Builder: Pilli Custom Homes, pillicustomhomes.com
Morgan is a small, bespoke English car manufacturer that has been hand building cars since 1908. Traditionally known for using hickory wood in the frames and for the structural components of their cars, the Aero Eight model was considered, with its hydro formed aluminum frame and body and BMW running gear, as their leap into twenty-first-century technology.

Though actually smaller than the home they eventually built, the barn looms large as the aesthetic center of this world.
The stone walls in this home often act as hedges that define and distinguish green spaces.
Vol. 6, No. 6 2015 37
Successful, fully realized architectural projects inevitably share an undeniable sense of harmony: harmony with the location, the various design elements, and harmony with the vision of its owners. The latter was one of the biggest hurdles for the firm of Donald Lococo Architects of Washington, D.C., when creating this McLean, Virginia estate home. The couple, parents to three children, clashed on the basic tone of the design. One was a proponent of a rustic take. The other favored a more formal voice. Donald Lococo was the first architect they had spoken with who was able to conjure a compatible combination of the two styles. The more rustic elements begin at the lower levels of the home and gradually rise to the introduction of the formal aspects. Stone is the first ingredient to make its statement, both on the house itself and in the walls surrounding the home that act like hedges, in some cases, to divide and define outdoor green spaces. While rustic field stone defines the first floor, white
board and batten dormer walls and rafter tails characterize the second. This duality of wood combined with hard surfaces first appears on the historic barn on the property. Reclaimed lumber also has a starring role in the signature hardwood floors inside. It’s a look that cannot be faked, both materials voicing a provincial and polished narrative through most of the downstairs. The exception on the first level is the slate floor in the kitchen area, a room where country meets refreshing refinement. “We searched and searched for that paint color,” Donald Lococo recalls. They felt this green had just the right amount of farmhouse warmth. It may surprise you that the architect was so closely involved in the minutia of the process. But the firm also provided all of the interior design services. Even the gravel used for the drive included an extensive Goldilocks-type search by Lococo’s firm for just the right size pebbles.

As the plans were finalized, one of the focal chimneys, which is seen as you drive up to the home, needed to be moved from the fireplace that fed it in the living room plan. “To keep both the fireplace and its chimney in perfect visual location, both driving up to the house and in the living room,” notes Lococo, “the chimney had to shift two feet on the exterior from where the fireplace sat.” Of course, modern, more opulent touches weren’t neglected in the design. This family of five can convivially share five bedrooms, five full baths, and two half baths, as well as a pristine pool complete by a whimsically renovated pool house/studio that was already on the property. It’s all effectively part of the bucolic symmetry of the property, while providing entertainment and relaxation for the occupants. A perfect example of the interior touches and the harmony of objects is the antique tanner’s bench

containing the sink in the mudroom. A shelf above the sink also has a special significance. It is made from a piece of wood found in the barn on the property—the all-important barn, an American icon that is slowly disappearing from the Virginia countryside. The owners loved the barn and briefly considered renovating it for their house. The extensive property already contained a variety of buildings, both large and small, when the family purchased it. The couple had owned the property for years, but couldn’t decide which structure, if any, to renovate for their permanent home. All agreed, however, that one edifice stood out: the barn. Though actually smaller than the home they eventually built, the barn looms large as the aesthetic center of this world. Donald Lococo explains: “The biggest challenge of the house was trying to make the home genuflect and defer to the barn despite the fact that the house was

Harmony. Its notes are unmistakable throughout the project. The architectural accord and creative consensus achieved may be more easily appreciated when you learn of the background of architect Lococo. At one point in his life he was heading toward a career in piano performance. Even in those early years, classical mixed with modern moments. “The day I changed from a classical pianist to an architect,” he says, “it seemed as if I would need to start from scratch.” Donald Lococo now realizes the parallel pursuits have provided a very distinctive design advantage, one that strikes the perfect pitch in the McLean countryside.

double the size and complex by its sheer nature. We achieved this by adding the horizontal change in material from stone to wood and low-slung roofs, both of which make it feel humble compared to the barn. Also, the staggering of the house’s massing and repetition of similar elements and textures made the home feel added on to . . . contrasting the simple and monolithic form of the barn.”

A fireplace is an increasingly popular feature of outdoor living spaces. With its statuesque look, the fireplace inevitably takes center stage. Sometimes a fireplace can look a little lonely and clumsy because it is disconnected from the spatial design. Landscape designer Scott Brinitzer overcame this problem in an outdoor living space for a client in Mclean, Virginia by integrating the fireplace into the whole terrace. The fireplace sits between two flanking stone walls that create a sense of room and privacy. The iron trellis, covered with wisteria as one would see in a European garden, adds to one’s feeling of a room that is simultaneously enclosed and open. Along with the fireplace and sitting areas, the space includes a grill and counter, supported by a stone base coordinated with the wall and fireplace. It is not surprising that this perfectly integrated and balanced design won a Grand Prize

from the Association of Professional Landscape Designers. Brinitzer explains that creating a fireplace and outdoor living space is all about scale and proportion, which he achieves, for example, in the way the chimney adds just the right vertical thrust in contrast to the horizontal walls. With such a harmonious combination of natural and handmade forms, one can enjoy the great craft of a well-landscaped space while at the same time marvel at the elemental force of fire.

MURAL
MAKEOVER IN THE ANNAPOLIS DESIGN DISTRICT

Annapolis Home
Mural by Arlin Graff
BY TOM LEVINE PHOTOGRAPHY BY TONY LEWIS
Vol. 6, No. 6 2015 55
Left mural by Vermelho, center mural by Gen Duarte, and right mural by Rodrigo Branco The Annapolis Design District is thriving. If you’ve never had a reason to check it out, you sure have one now. Part of today’s international art wave has swept into Annapolis, and now, after a kick-off street fair, eight impressive murals by six Brazilian artists and two local artists enliven a two-block stretch of Edgewood Avenue. According to Jessica White of Kitchen Encounters, one of the things the District has been focused on is “making the area more inviting.” The Design District, composed of over fifty members, contributed money to support the mural projects, and landlords and business owners bravely provided wall space without knowing the outcome. The artists are sponsored by Urban Walls Brazil, a local arts organization founded by Roberta Pardo, who lives in Annapolis. A native Brazilian, Pardo grew up in São Paulo. She started UWB not just to be a virtual dealer of contemporary Brazilian art but also to facilitate an artistic and cultural exchange between Brazil and the United States. Last year, UWB helped facilitate Annapolis artist Jeff Huntington’s visit to São Paulo. Huntington collaborated with Brazilian artists Gen Duarte and Vermelho and painted a large portrait of Jimi Hendrix in an alley behind Verve Galeria, and, with Binho Ribeiro, he painted a large portrait of the Buddha in the favela in São Paulo. This September, six artists returned the favor: Vermelho, Rodrigo Branco, Gen Duarte, Arlin Graff, Ju Violeta, and Ciro Schu. So what did these six artists choose to paint for Annapolis? Well, not sailboats. The only thing with even a whiff of maritime is a fish

that appears in the two paintings by Vermelho. It’s armor plated, with a mouth full of nasty teeth. His paintings are dreamlike in their ambiguity, exploring the tension between good and evil. The work is cartoonlike but by no means cartoonish. Rodrigo Branco also plays with ambiguity in his painting. While he has given us a fairly straightforward portrait, it is unclear if the face is that of a man or woman. Sexual ambiguity is not a new subject for artists. What is more interesting here is a different kind of ambiguity—the haze of memory. Branco’s father died when Branco was a young child. His memories are shaped by old photographs, relatives’ faces frozen in an increasingly distant past. When you need a break from all of this thinking about, well, thinking, you can simply turn your eyes to the left and look at Gen Duarte’s whirling dervish of a painting. It is pure pleasure. Abstract, vividly colored and dancing across the wall, it recalls Milton Glazer’s iconic 1966 graphic image of Bob Dylan with a brilliant technicolor swirl of curls. Both Arlin Graff and Ju Violetta explore nature in their work. Graff’s painting of a red fox resembles a collage, built on straight edged shapes with a limited palette. Like much of his work, this piece was first configured on a computer. When Graff was satisfied, he projected the image on the Edgewood Avenue wall and meticulously painted the final image. In sharp contrast to the fluidity of the other artists, he paints a majestic view of nature using a deconstructed image from the digital world.
Mural by Ju Violetta
Vol. 6, No. 6 2015 57
Violetta’s piece reveals a woman, apparently looking out at a natural scene. She wears a blouse covered with colorful flora. Around her are simply sketched leaves, flowers, branches, and a bright red bird. A box floats in front of her eyes. It looks a bit like a pair of virtual reality goggles, but it’s a planter box sprouting flowers. Like much of the work here, the piece is dreamlike and surreal. The last artist, Ciro Schu, painted the largest and most abstract mural here. Snaking its way around In Home Stone, its weaving imagery seems rooted in ancient civilization. Letters and words have always been part of graffiti, and at first glance you might think you are looking at words and letters embedded in this piece. But they aren’t. The imagery is simultaneously beautiful and frightening. You might see serpents or dragons but everything seems to come from some place buried deep within the subconscious. It’s just beyond our rational comprehension but not our emotions. This isn’t the first street art to appear in Annapolis. Pardo’s passions have helped to fuel a wildfire of street art. In 2014, Pardo brought Branco, Vermelho, Duarte, Ribeiro, as well as TIKKA, also from São Paulo, to Annapolis where they teamed with local artists Jesse James, Charles Lawrance, and Jeff Huntington to paint a long wall at Park Place. This summer, Huntington’s fantastic mural “Agony and Ecstasy Live Together in Perfect Harmony” was painted on the front of Tsunami on West Street provoking an as yet unresolved contretemps about the relationship of art and historic preservation in the city.

COLOR IS BACK By Wesley Thompson
Yes, color is back! The trend for a few years has been a palette of soft grays and neutrals. Although neutrals are timeless and beautiful, people are no longer afraid to mix-in bold colors such as oranges, yellows, and various shades of blue. Jewel tones like emerald green and ruby red are adorning spaces as well. Balance is important. The family room pictured here with the animal artwork is filled with color and texture yet still balanced by neutrals. Standard operating procedure for years has been to paint walls a color and the ceiling white to make a space feel larger and brighter. But, in fact, a room can feel more expansive when the ceiling is painted a color. The key is to make sure the room has adequate light and that the walls are a light hue. One of my favorite off-whites

Baltimore is a city of neighborhoods rich with restaurants and nightlife. The secret is to know where to go. Tucked away on quiet streets is an epicure’s delight of culinary treasures. In a tiny row of restaurants a stone’s throw from the Inner Harbor is a local outpost of a nationally known Maryland chef. Bryan Voltaggio introduced himself to food lovers nationwide with his stint on Bravo Network’s Top Chef. As a season six contestant, Voltaggio was a finalist (his brother, Michael, beat him), and viewers grew to love Bryan’s calm demeanor and admire his skill in the kitchen. Volt, Voltaggio’s first restaurant, put Frederick, Maryland on the culinary map with guests traveling great distances to take in the theatre of fine dining. A little more than a year ago, Voltaggio brought his culinary repartee to Baltimore with Aggio. On a side street near Power Plant Live!, valet parking takes all the worry out of wondering what to do with your car. The interiors are elegant in hues of grey, with leather banquettes, white upholstered chairs, and sculptural ceiling lighting

fixtures; jazz fills the rooms, and the air is scented with the aroma of something delicious to eat. The bar menu offers a host of beverages with amusing names like The Junkyard Doll and Waxing Poetic. A Haymaker is a smoky blend of mezcal, Benedictine, apple cardamom shrub, and lemon. This drink is very smooth, and with all its unusual components, it hits all the right notes for an evening cocktail. The cuisine at Aggio is a combination of Americana and Italia. A Parmesan funnel cake channels the Ocean City boardwalk: a bit over salty, a bit greasy, but small enough to eat out of hand and a fitting introduction to the mash-up of the two culinary regions. Fresh focaccia (also rather salty) is served with a ricotta olive oil herb spread and a mortadella puree. The antipasti section of the menu is a variety of salads and palate teasers, a kitchen scientist’s inventive pairings of ingredients, with quite a few hits and a couple of misses. Caesar Salad is made of kale
Straight Up on Dining Out and romaine with hints of fennel and served with fried oysters in place of the typical anchovies. The combination is quite good, and the oysters make this salad substantial enough to serve as an entrée. Grilled octopus, with green olive, preserved Meyer lemon, fregola, and marcona almonds, has the promise of greatness. Unfortunately, the octopus was overcooked and dry, rendering the dish somewhat disappointing. “Cucumber” is a surprise hit. Arriving in a silky green broth, a mound in the middle of the bowl is made up of smoked salmon, cucumber, and fish roe all chopped into pieces of the exact same size. Each bite is a flavor sensation of smoked salmon, crunchy cucumber, or exploding caviar. This is a home run, pretty to look at, and a pleasure to eat. A very fine roasted beet salad is prepared with autumn root tops, pistachio, citrus, and tender burrata. The pastas at Aggio are house-made and available in whole or half plate portions. Potato Mezzaluna is half-moon shapes of pasta, stuffed with potato, mascarpone, and Parmesan, served with a black truffle red wine sugo. This substantial dish is welcome this time of year. Tonnarelli Nero is a squid ink pasta abounding with Maryland blue crab, super spicy with jalapeno, and crunchy with pepperoni. Uni was listed as an ingredient, but it was difficult to find. The Lasagna is prepared with a lamb bolognese, sheep milk ricotta, pecorino, and thin layers of pasta. This is heavy and rich, and only comes in full portions. Secondi offerings include selections from the sea and the farm. My dinner guest and I shared Rabbit Porchetta between the two of us. The saddle of rabbit is wrapped in bacon, served with savory garlic,
mustard, hazlenuts, and bitter greens. A side dish of crispy Brussels sprouts, with chilies, pecorino, and lemon, was, alas, too overcooked to enjoy. These Brussels sprouts wanted to be French fries. They lacked the juicy tenderness one expects from Brussels sprouts. A four-course prix fixe menu is available, with or without wine pairings. For dessert, a panna cotta with strawberry sorbet was pleasing, with scatterings of nuts and honey, and a pretty ball of spun sugar. The torta al cioccolato with pistachio sorbet and pink peppercorn was a bit dry. A light meringue with raspberry, Meyer lemon curd, and basil ice cream was delicate and tangy, a luscious way to end a meal. Aggio is New American/Italian cuisine at its best, using fresh local and exotic ingredients and combining them in new and unexpected ways. If you crave classic Italian food, Little Italy is just a few blocks away, and there are plenty of great establishments to visit there. But, for a contemporary culinary spin, Aggio is a destination, and you don’t have to travel all the way to Frederick to discover what Bryan Voltaggio is cooking up in his kitchen. AH
