Featured Projects: Lotus House Through the Lens of Talented Designers

Lots House is a project that garners considerable attention. From its Regency architecture to its painted brick facade, this home is truly a masterpiece. The site of the 2011 Decorator’s Show House & Gardens, we enjoy a closer look at the residence via the expression of creativity of more that 30 top designers who participated in the annual event.

A private home on West Wesley Road was the site of the 2011 Decorators’ Show House & Gardens, which featured the handiwork of more than 30 designers and local craftsmen. Celebrated designer Barry Dixon of Warrenton, Virginia, added a fresh perspective to our local design vernacular, as well as an abundance of inspiration for visitors to the house. Classicist architectural designer William T. Baker crafted the residence, called “Lotus House,” for an Indian American family who took residence there at the conclusion of the tour.
