Photography: Deanna Cash This new construction home is situated on 200 acres of reclaimed farmland. Wanting to renew the well used earth, the clients restored the land to it's original prairie state. Additionally, a large pond was added that will evolve into a natural habitat for fish and wildlife. A grove of 200 young trees was planted to be distributed throughout the property as they mature. Cleared Cherry and Hickory trees from another property were reclaimed and used as accents around the house in their raw state.

This project began with a home rooted in a distinctly 1990s aesthetic that the client was ready to evolve. Their vision was a lighter, more contemporary West Coast–inspired interior, anchored by white oak floors and a warm, modern kitchen. We designed a fully custom white oak kitchen that balances clean lines with natural texture, along with a statement-scale dining room cabinetry piece that delivers both generous storage and visual impact. The result is a refreshed, transitional home that feels current yet timeless—blending modern restraint with warmth and livability.

Inspired by urban living, Bernhardt Loft is an evolving collection of casegoods and coordinating upholstery created with smaller spaces in mind. Pieces are versatile and intentionally eclectic, combining clean lines and simple modern shapes with a variety of materials, from rustic finishes and a range of metals to concrete and textural fabrics. The look is relaxed and casual, but stylish and sophisticated, with a fresh take on furnishings that reflect lifestyle, attitude and individuality.

What began as a kitchen remodel for this family in Clarksville evolved into a sophisticated full-home transformation featuring a luxury transitional kitchen with inset cabinetry, a striking cobalt blue hood, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, waterfall countertops, and a cozy custom banquette designed for everyday gathering. The project also included a dramatic color-drenched library with illuminated bookshelves and a rolling ladder, a reimagined lounge space, and layered designer details throughout including bold wallpaper, rich textures, and thoughtfully curated finishes.

The farmhouse is a classic, combining comfort and simplicity, elegance and nostalgia, all without pretension. No matter the age, these historic homestead pioneers worked the land and raised their families at a time when practicality was key to prosperity. But the farmhouse is more than a historic one. Farmhouse style continues to evolve into the 21st century, carrying with it the best of the past while adapting to our modern lifestyle. A farmhouse is instantly recognizable for its main rectangular form, gabled or lean-to additions, various outbuildings, and spartan architecture, among other hallmarks. While the farmhouse's use of natural materials and basic construction is indicative of its traditional, sensible nature, modern farmhouses might equally be built according to energy-efficient standards.

A 20-year partnership creates a green space that is ever-evolving. Many of our clients continue a partnership with D. A. Dunlevy long after the initial design and build is finished. This elegant Potomac residence started the journey with stone walls and ornamental plantings being installed in 1999. Since then, we have provided ongoing landscape maintenance, as well as adding new elements that fit in organically with the original design. Most recently, D. A. Dunlevy designed and built a flagstone patio and fire pit, and put in additional plantings to expand the gardens. This project is a perfect example of how an outdoor space can change and mature over the years, and how implementing new design ideas can keep things fresh for the homeowners.

A sculptural and immersive bar experience nestled in a Brooklyn backyard, this project redefines the notion of outdoor hospitality. Enclosed within rhythmic arches and layered tones, the design merges fluid architectural forms with a dynamic palette of textures, shadow play, and botanical accents. Curved seating, soft velvet textures, and tactile surfaces invite guests to slow down and explore the space. As the sun moves, light filters through geometric cuts in the canopy, casting evolving shadows that transform the mood from day to night—creating moments that are both unexpected and intentional. At its core, a dramatic marble fireplace framed in an organic sculptural form anchors the space with warmth and elegance. Throughout, subtle nods to rhythm, reflection, and movement shape a multidimensional atmosphere—a bar designed not just to serve, but to surprise and inspire.

This project beautifully captures the essence of Southern charm with a modern twist. The design features a thoughtful blend of lush shrubs, ornamental grasses, and vibrant perennials, creating a dynamic and elegant garden that evolves throughout the seasons. Central to this project is the harmonious mix of evergreens, providing year-round structure and color, complemented by a burst of summer blooms that add a touch of vibrancy, carefully curated planters that serve as focal points, drawing the eye and adding depth to the overall design. A few aspects of this project include: Diverse textures Refined and welcoming design Advanced irrigation for plant health. Strategic lighting to enhance evening aesthetics. Classic Southern sophistication throughout.
