A design build bathroom in Rockville A stunning blend of modern luxury, designed functionality, and Victorian charm This recent design build bathroom in Rockville, MD by Talon Construction is a stunning blend of modern luxury, thoughtful functionality, and Victorian charm: Custom Shower Enclosure with Wet & Dry Bench Curbless walk-in shower design expands the sense of space and accessibility, bringing in sleek minimalism and easy transition Inside, wet and dry bench seating each built with matching quartz provides dual functionality. A wet seat under the shower spray and a separate dry zone for relaxation or shaving Enclosed in a bespoke frameless glass door, accented with premium brushed-nickel hardware, achieving a clean, spa-like atmosphere. Twin Custom Wood Victorian‑Style Vanities Two custom-stained, Victorian-style vanities flank the room—crafted in rich wood tones with decorative legs, and marble-look quartz countertops, echoing Talon’s signature high-end cabinetry. Each vanity is topped with non-framed mirrors offering both statement flair and practical ambiance . Additional Design Highlights Built-in storage cubbies finished in the same wood as the vanities, add seamless function and aesthetic continuity. A hallmark seen in Talon’s Gaithersburg remodel. Fully tiled walls, shower floor, and niches with large-format ceramic tiles and accent inlays providing elegant durability and a boutique flair. Carefully chosen brushed nickel fixtures along with recessed lighting and wall mounted vanity lights. Provides a bright, inviting space with layers of sophistication. A design build bathroom in Rockville Seamless design‑build approach: Talon handled 3D design planning, material selections, permit acquisition, demolition, plumbing, electrical, and final installation under one roof High craftsmanship standards: licensed and BBB‑A+ rated with two decades of experience across Frederick, Montgomery, and Howard Counties Why It Stands Out Elevated luxury meets practical function wet/dry benches, custom storage, mood lighting the kind of refined touches Talon brings to every project. Cohesive aesthetic with Victorian vanities anchoring vintage charm, the glass enclosure and clean finishes keep it fresh and contemporary. Client-approved quality backed by glowing local feedback—“top-notch,” “easy reveal,” and “no surprises” from homeowners and even Reddit users in Frederick . This remodel is the perfect example of Talon’s ability to blend timeless design and functionality in a streamlined process. The result: a Victorian-inspired, spa-like bathroom sanctuary tailored to modern living in Rockville.

The recent restoration of Giant View was guided by a singular principle: preserve and strengthen the spirit, craftsmanship, and mountain character of the original camp for future generations. The renovation was approached as an act of stewardship. We invested extensively in professional arboricultural care to protect the long-term health of the immediate forest. A new engineered septic system was carefully designed to work with the site's natural topography and setting. Existing retaining structures were stabilized using approaches intended to preserve the natural appearance of the setting. Exterior lighting was designed to be fully Dark Sky compliant.
