Historic preservation and modernization of a landmark guesthouse facility
Project Overview
The Dumbarton Oaks Guesthouse renovation represents a masterful blend of historic preservation and modern hospitality design. This 1920s-era building required comprehensive structural upgrades while maintaining its architectural integrity and historic character.
