Christopher Simmonds ArchitectA dilapidated addition at the rear of this Glebe home was removed and replaced. The floor area was increased which made it possible to substantially increase the size of the kitchen while improving the visual connection to the quiet park and pond adjacent to the property.
The room exudes a calm elegance; subtle paint colours and white oak flooring create a tranquil atmosphere, while trim and plaster mouldings are used to highlight and define openings. Two doorways link the kitchen to the formal dining room – making entertaining and hosting dinner parties a dream.
Traditional and antique fixtures and furnishings such as the armoire, the table and chairs in the breakfast nook, glass-fronted cabinetry, and European style windows all enhance the old world charm of the house.
The kitchen features a bay window and sitting area which has picturesque views of the park. A French door gives direct access to the back terrace. A sleek black and stainless faucet and dramatic chandelier create contrast in the all-white kitchen. Caesarstone countertops, glass-front cabinets, and crown mouldings tie into the home’s Parisian-inspired interior.

Kitchen & Bath MastersOur client in Washington, DC, wanted to refresh their outdated and inefficient kitchen with a design that offers both modern functionality and a timeless aesthetic — all while preserving the traditional character of their home.
To achieve this balance, we introduced double-stacked cabinetry for increased storage and a more elegant vertical visual, while a custom built-in pantry maximized space and organization. The goal was not just to modernize, but to make every square foot of the kitchen practical and beautiful.
The client wanted to retain the unique blue and green-toned flooring, which inspired the selection of the stunning Calacatta Vivaldi stone. With its soft blue veining, the countertop complements the existing floors and adds a subtle yet sophisticated touch that ties the whole space together.
The final result is a kitchen that’s thoughtfully updated, highly functional, and perfectly in tune with the home’s original charm — a seamless blend of old and new.

Home & Office Cabinetry of Delaware Inc.This beautiful kitchen has a lot to boast about! The teak countertop, the big farmhouse sink, and the contrasting island color combine to make a beautiful workspace. The cabinets are from Medallion's platinum line which basically means the doors are inset. The door style i s Bayshore. The main kitchen is the Divinity finish, the island is done in the Marine finish.
Inset doors are not on Mike's go-to list as any change in humidity may result in subtle swelling or shrinking of the doors resulting in a place where the door rubs off the finish as it opens or where the gap between the door and frame increases. If you're good with that wearing, then it is indeed a beautiful look!

Custom Design & ConstructionThis South Bay project was completed in an elegant, traditional style with the intent to increase the functionality of the master suite while maintaining a timeless charm. Originally, this bathroom was cramped and crowded, so we designed a long, narrow counter space to maximize storage. For the large bedroom, we wanted to incorporate the client’s unique style into an open and spacious design. Our client has a beautiful collection of antiques which we repurposed in both the master bathroom and bedroom.
The countertops in the bathroom are made from antique marble. The tile pattern in the bathroom is subtle and compliments the Victorian-era gold accents. After the remodel, the bedroom is now a bright, inviting space with panoramic views of Los Angeles.
We loved working closely on this project with our client to create a space she felt was uniquely hers. This is a fabulous example of how the designers at Custom Design and Construction are dedicated to serving our clients so that they can love their home again.
