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.

Discreet Luxury: A Modern Take on the Powder Room
What began as a simple powder room evolved into a stunning, space-savvy guest bath with the addition of a hidden shower area. The goal was to make the shower nearly invisible, allowing the room to maintain its clean, open aesthetic. This was achieved with large-format Spanish tiles in a soft, modern tone, creating a seamless look with minimal grout lines.
A crystal light fixture adds a subtle touch of glamour, contrasting beautifully with the room’s otherwise minimalist design. Every element—down to the choice of fixtures and tile placement—was curated to enhance both form and function while keeping the space feeling airy and contemporary.

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.
