BCWH Architects has a long history of working with the Maymont Foundation in Richmond Virginia. Maymont is one of Richmond’s most historic properties and boasts a wide variety of educational and recreational opportunities and is one of the top tourist attractions in the area. On Tuesday, September 18 one of our projects for the Maymont Foundation – 1000 Westover Road – was featured by a local design enthusiast group called House Story which offered a pre-renovation guided tour for a sold-out crowd. BCWH’s Kylan Shirley was invited to wow Richmonders with the design plans for renovations and additions to this 1918 Mediterranean Revival mansion in the Byrd Terrace neighborhood and the future headquarters of the Maymont Foundation. Construction on the project is getting underway. We are so excited to be working with the Maymont Foundation, an institution that helps make Richmond the great city that it is!
