461 Nahra Design Group WASHINGTON, DC At Nahra Design Group, nothing is forced. The Washington, DC-based firm is a collaborative group of architects and designers who work on projects that range from modern to traditional, and operate under the premise that design should feel natural. Without allegiance to any one style, the team— led by John Nahra—creates what makes sense for the site, and offers an organic appeal. Using the environment as the framework for every home, the architects and designers capitalize on a few key elements: space, light, and surrounding views. The clients' personal details and lifestyles are key, of course, and they often bring an array of ideas. Those are also thoughtfully interpreted into the home. The homeowners become an important part of the team throughout the design-and-build process. Every design begins with a traditional method: sketching. The client's vision is drawn out in multiple ways and then the process of narrowing begins to find exactly what the homeowner wants. The full-service boutique architecture firm is made up of a core group of architects and interior designers working together in a creative studio setting. John founded the firm in 2010 and has been inspired by his team and clients. For this project in particular, the team sought the counsel of Lavinia Fici Pasquina. The Italian-born architect collaborates with the team and brings innovation and forward-thinking ideas, in addition to her European perspective.
