Residential Architecture.

Selis Studio Architecture specializes in residential renovations, rowhouse additions, and thoughtful reconfigurations of existing homes across Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland. Our work focuses on improving functionality, flow, and daily living through clear, creative design.

We believe a home should feel connected—to its surroundings, to the people who live in it, and to the moments that unfold within its walls. Thoughtful design allows a space to evolve with you over time, balancing beauty, sustainability, and long-term function.

No matter the size or scope, our goal is to bring your ideas to life with clarity, care, and purpose.

Let’s create a home that reflects you. Connect with Selis Studio Architecture to start the conversation.

Our Process.

Understanding Your Needs

We begin by learning how you live and studying existing conditions to identify opportunities for better flow, light, and functionality.

Exploring Design Options

Through clear diagrams and schematic plans, we help you compare ideas and make informed decisions about your renovation or addition.

Navigating Zoning & Permitting

Rowhouses and additions often involve complex zoning and historic considerations. We prepare drawings and coordinate approvals to move your project forward smoothly.

Supporting Construction

Throughout construction, we stay involved to answer questions, review details, and help ensure the design intent is carried through.
