Glen Park House Wins Some Sort of Award
A Glen Park home recently received an award for being so stunning, as well as its own article in the Wall Street Journal. The American Institute of Architects Housing Award, which is handed out annual to outstanding residential designs, bestowed local architect James Zack and Lisa de Vito with one of this year's big prize.

Inside, a three-story translucent staircase made of acrylic filters sun from the skylight up top to the basement below ground. Virtually every room of the 3,000-square-foot home has large windows displaying views of the city so vast they're sometimes harrowing." Gorgeous.
