Sleek cabinets, simple geometric shapes, and unadorned surfaces contribute to the minimalist aesthetic. Natural light is maximized, and simple, unobtrusive lighting fixtures are used. The overall effect is a serene, uncluttered space that promotes a sense of calm and relaxation.

A small closet island occupies the center of the walk-in, effectively dividing the space into "his" and "hers" sides. Drawers in the island include dividers for organizing lingerie and small personal items.

Our McLean customers wanted to update their home before putting it on the real estate market - they knew one of the key factors was the remodeling of the three bathrooms. All were in desperate need of a design re-do. Despite the small square footage that limited the bathroom sizes, our design team worked carefully to use the space they did have efficiently and to great effect. The use of tile draws the eye to the floor nd walls, and the color choices are minimal but bold. In addition to the bathroom updates, the lower level of the home received all new flooring and, our customer's dream, a sliding barn door to hide away the laundry room area. Heading into a competitive marketplace, this home will be a gem for the next owners.

Apartments are great living spaces and require minimal attention, however, making this space your own can sometimes be challenging! With compact areas, furniture placement is imperative to a functional and pleasing home.
The TV optimizes the main living room wall with a sleek, raw-edge wood console table and small accessories. To gain the best seat in the house is a tufted leather sofa and ornate coffee table.

For a pop of color and texture, a lovely red oriental rug lays on the floor.

A groundbreaking residential construction project in Connecticut, executed by HSL Builders, challenges the stereotypical notion of modern architecture as a mere "box." The innovative design, spearheaded by architect George Dumitru, revolves around a dynamic pinwheel concept. The central atrium serves as the project's focal point, with four cantilevered second-story bedrooms creating a visually centrifugal effect. Transparency is a key element, evident in the glazed atrium and open floor plan, fostering a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Embracing Connecticut's natural landscape, the design minimizes interference to maximize picturesque vistas. This collaborative effort, led by HSL Builders, showcases inventive design elements that go beyond the traditional, redefining the essence of modern residential construction.

The walls in this area are adorned with stunning blue tiles featuring a crackle effect, harmoniously complementing the neutral cabinets that match Farrow and Ball's Skimming Stone. Not only does this combination create visual interest, but it also enhances the overall aesthetic of the space. Additionally, an ergonomic design choice was made by placing the washing machine and dryer at hip height, making them more easily accessible and convenient for the clients to use.
