Designed by renowned architect Stanford White and constructed in 1896, the "Thomas Nelson Page House" at 1759 R Street NW is one of DC's most historic homes. Pizzano was selected to renovate the building bring the building to modern standards for the Wyss Foundation, a non-profit focused on land conservation, children's health, and social justice.
Pizzano refinished the entirety of the 30,000-square-foot former residence, while adding contemporary gas, lighting, and HVAC upgrades throughout. Special care was taken to preserve the unique historical details of the property, while making it suitable for a modern office space.
“The team from Pizzano were very engaged with our sustainability values and went to great lengths to help us find ways to reuse and recycle as much as possible.”
