Dumbarton Oaks Farrand House
Historic Preservation & Restoration Excellence
Project Overview
The Farrand House at Dumbarton Oaks represents one of the most significant historic preservation projects undertaken at this world-renowned research institution. As owner's representative, Landmark Logix oversaw the comprehensive restoration of this iconic residence, ensuring that every detail honored the original vision while meeting contemporary functional requirements.
Named after the legendary landscape architect Beatrix Farrand, this historic house required meticulous attention to architectural details, material authenticity, and preservation standards. Our team coordinated specialized contractors, conservation experts, and institutional stakeholders to deliver a project that seamlessly blends historic character with modern building systems.
The restoration work included structural stabilization, envelope improvements, historic window restoration, interior finishes rehabilitation, and integration of updated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems—all while maintaining the house's architectural integrity and ensuring minimal disruption to Dumbarton Oaks' ongoing research activities.
