Already partially enclosed by an ipe fence and concrete wall, our client had a vision of an outdoor courtyard for entertaining on warm summer evenings since the space would be shaded by the house in the afternoon. He imagined the space with a water feature, lighting and paving surrounded by plants. With our marching orders in place, we drew up a schematic plan quickly and met to review two options for the space. These options quickly coalesced and combined into a single vision for the space. A thick, 60” tall concrete wall would enclose the opening to the street – creating privacy and security, and making a bold statement. We knew the gate had to be interesting enough to stand up to the large concrete walls on either side, so we designed and had custom fabricated by Dennis Schleder (www.dennisschleder.com) a beautiful, visually dynamic metal gate. The gate has become the icing on the cake, all 300 pounds of it! Other touches include drought tolerant planting, bluestone paving with pebble accents, crushed granite paving, LED accent lighting, and outdoor furniture. Both existing trees were retained and are thriving with their new soil. The garden was installed in December and our client is extremely happy with the results – so are we!

The family wanted to turn their patio into a sunroom and also do a kitchen remodel. We did that by giving them a much bigger and brighter kitchen and with a new sunroom. The kitchen became much enlarged. With a new choice of dove white Shepparton colored cabinetry, with flat door panels, making the kitchen space much brighter and more open. Lots of new recess lights also help to brighten the space. Clients chose to upgrade the countertops to granite Babylon Gray and to new Kitchen Aid stainless steel appliances to make it more contemporary. The new Halcon Perla Brick patter backsplash adds a beautiful touch to the kitchen. This is a new beautiful remodel of the sunroom and kitchen for a family in McLean VA which allows them to enjoy more of their new remodeling projects and to entertain more at home.

The soaring vaulted ceiling and its exposed timber framing rises from the sturdy brick arched facades. Flemish bond (above the arches), running bond (columns), and basket weave patterns (kitchen wall) differentiate distinct surfaces of the classical composition. A paddle fan suspended from the ceiling provides a comforting breeze to the seating areas below. Gus Cantavero Photography
