BZ Architect's task: visually expand the townhouse interior by maximizing the available space, while staying within the townhouse's envelope. By replacing bearing walls with columns and beams, the new design blended the spaces together, allowing the new free-standing maple cabinetry to defi… - [Transformed](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transformed-pj-vj~1595113) - Location: Arlington, VA - Photos: 8 - Description: Although this Dutch Colonial has excellent west-facing views towards parkland and a lower level pool, the interior of the original house was characterized by small, confining rooms which did not take advantage of the site's full potential. This, combined with the client's desire for a home where there was more interaction between the various rooms was the impetus behind this project. With this in mind, BZ Architects opened up the interior and exterior of the house by removing walls, modifying th… - [Stuart Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stuart-street-pj-vj~2155775) - Location: Arlington, VA - Photos: 16 - [Simple Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/simple-addition-pj-vj~1601152) - Location: Alexandria, VA - Photos: 4 - Description: With a quiet site and good views to a stream-fed park to the east, this 1800 SF split-level had great potential. Here, as in many homes, the kitchen is the hub of family life. So it was crucial that the space worked well for both large gatherings and daily family routines. On the 1st floor, the key was to work within the existing house as much as possible, re-configuring the interior walls while simultaneously increasing the floor to ceiling height. Additional windows, patio doors and a small ki… - [North Light](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-light-pj-vj~1595044) - Location: McLean, VA - Photos: 6 - Description: With north-facing windows, the original galley kitchen and separate breakfast area had ample room and diffuse light, but lacked cohesion. Located just feet apart, both rooms felt distant from the other. And while the layout was functional, a bottleneck resulted whenever traffic between the adjoining rooms moved through the kitchen at the same time. BZ Architect's tasks: Reorganize the kitchen's traffic pattern, bring more light into what was otherwise a respectably-sized space and, most importan… - [Working Within](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/working-within-pj-vj~1595166) - Location: Arlington, VA - Photos: 7 - Description: Working within the footprint of the existing house and a new 3 by 11 foot addition, the scope of this project called for enhanced use of the existing kitchen space and better views to the heavily landscaped and terraced rear yard. Numerous tall and wide windows were added in the bay extension and act as a convenient pass-thru to the landscaped deck beyond. French doors and additional windows wrap around three sides of the design and allow the exterior landscaping and renovated deck to be more a… [See all 7 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/bz-architects-pfvwus-pf~92354413) ## Ideabooks - [bzarchitects's Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/56476914/list/bzarchitects-s-ideas) — 11 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/bzarchitects) ## Community Q&A **Q: What make are the cabinets?
