Tourists gather outside a log cabin at the birthplace of United States President Abraham Lincoln, Kentucky, United States, 1955.

The home, originally constructed in the 1930s, is located in the desirable Silver Spring, Maryland neighborhood along the Washington, DC border. The area is known for its vibrant arts and entertainment scene, along with its proximity to the DC Metro system and good schools.

The single-volume home has been designed to appear to float over the lot on its deck. Ryan upgraded the existing foundation to support its passive design. "Originally, I wanted to make the whole house powered with wood pellets," he says. "But I decided against shoveling pellets in the snow. I'll get weird in a little bit less of a cold climate."

The new extension wraps around the existing home, creating a thoughtful dialogue between past and present, and opening the home up to the landscape and the constant song of running water. “We wanted to work sympathetically with the existing home and mill,” says homeowner Miriam Nabarro.

In leafy northwest Washington, D.C., a two-story addition expands a 1936 home without overwhelming it.

Steele and Evan designed the Pod for a range of environments including on rural properties, eco resorts, and in suburban backyards.
