Who we are

Natasha Cunningham and Patrick Welsh

Natasha Cunningham and Patrick Welsh met at the Graduate School for Architecture at Columbia University..  Patrick completed his undergraduate work at the University of Virginia.  He has worked for several residential and commercial architecture firms.  In the year immediately following graduate school he worked for Walt Disney Imagineering and Progress City, an entertainment based research and development think tank in Los Angeles.  Natasha completed her undergraduate degree at Barnard College.  She has worked previously for several residential and institutional firms with a focus on early childhood education.  Natasha has extensive experience dealing with the unique requirements associated with historic home renovations.

Founded in 2009, Cunningham Welsh Architects has designed and built residential projects in DC, MD and VA. Many projects feature unique steel, wood and glass staircases that are fabricated in house. The search for a place to live, practice and fabricate in one location brought Natasha and Patrick to Distillery Lane.

Rob and Patty’s enthusiasm for apples is contagious. Rest assured the future of Distillery Lane will build upon this remarkable place and its dedicated community. Much more to come…..
