This small infill lot in the Rosemont neighborhood of Alexandria, VA, created challenges during design and construction. A zoning variance was required to add space to the original small bungalow. Raising the height of the second floor was limited at the eaves, but by incorporating scissor trusses, the second floor feels larger and benefits from interesting intersecting ceiling lines. The first floor features an open layout ideal for entertaining and a distinctive pantry with reclaimed vintage stained glass sliding barn doors. The primary suite is spacious, with a large walk-in closet and a freestanding tub. Filled with craftsman details throughout, this custom home blends perfectly in the Rosemont neighborhood.

Inspiration for a modern two-story home design remodel with a shed roof

As. you enter from the garage, the house is set up to receive everything you need to drop before you enter the tranquility of the main space. First this classy drop zone, with charging centres and file storage for that bit of household paperwork. We repeated the vertical ship lap and added glass cabinets because this cabinet is actually at the end of the hall and you can see it through the whole house. Then the mudroom for coats/backpacks etc. To the left of this picture is a butlers pantry for all the shopping goods, and then as you walk into the kitchen you can open that bottle of wine :-). My point is everything needs a place and space and to be organized because our lives are busy enough. It took a lot of planning with the client to understand how their family functions, what activities do they do now, or t think they will be doing in the future. There is nothing like getting to know your client for the best possible outcome.

Function meets beauty in this serene laundry space designed with intention. With sleek cabinetry, integrated storage, and ample counter space for folding, this room turns a daily chore into a calming ritual. Light, neutral tones reflect natural light throughout, while smart layout choices optimize every inch for both aesthetics and utility. Crafted by New Explode Construction, this laundry room is a quiet reminder that every room deserves great design—even the hardworking ones.

Ultra efficient mechanical equipment with small diameter ducts and variable speed blowers reduce energy use and ensure consistent temperatures between rooms, zones, and floors. Modular Prefabrication offers a smarter building system that leverages manufacturing efficiency, advanced engineering technology, and highly skilled labor to precisely produce high quality, durable, and efficient buildings in a fraction of the time needed in traditional construction. This is not your standard prefab home! EcoCraft homes are designed and constructed to provide our home owners with a look and feel that is unlike anything you have ever experienced!

This multi-purpose tray is as versatile as it is attractive! Our customers use it for shoes in the entryway or mudroom to keep floors clean; as an attractive home for potted plants; or as a neat, no-mess zone for pet bowls. Raised-relief pine cone design promotes airflow so items dry faster. Raised lip keeps items-or mess-inside the tray. Powder coated, galvanized steel construction with a copper finish; Dimensions: 34"L by 14"W by 2.5"H.

The backbone of the entire design is the multilevel paver system — installed using Belgard pavers, the professional-grade hardscape brand trusted by premium landscape contractors across North America for their durability, freeze-thaw resistance, and the quality of their surface and color consistency. Belgard pavers were selected for this project because this backyard needed to perform at the highest level — aesthetically and structurally — through Utah's demanding seasonal range. The multilevel layout creates distinct zones at different grades: an upper entertaining level, a main patio zone, and the sunken spa level below. Each level transitions to the next through precisely constructed steps and retaining wall elements, all in the same Belgard material palette, creating visual continuity across the full space. As a CMHA-certified contractor in pavers, Chopper Landscaping's paver installation standards go beyond surface appearance. Base preparation, drainage engineering, edge restraint specification, and compaction standards ensure that the Belgard paver system performs for decades — not just looks good on installation day.
