The old basement was a warren of random rooms with low bulkheads crisscrossing the space. A laundry room was awkwardly located right off the family room and blocked light from one of the windows. We reconfigured/resized the ductwork to minimize the impact on ceiling heights and relocated the laundry in order to expand the family room and allow space for a kid's art corner. The natural wood slat wall keeps the stairway feeling open and is a real statement piece; additional space was captured under the stairs for storage cubbies to keep clutter at bay.

2011 NARI CAPITAL COTY FINALIST AWARD WINNER This 1970’s split-level single-family home in an upscale Arlington neighborhood had been neglected for years. With his surrounding neighbors all doing major exterior and interior remodeling, however, the owner decided it was time to renovate his property as well. After several consultation meetings with the design team at Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes, he settled on an exterior layout to create an Art & Craft design for the home. It all got started by excavating the front and left side of the house and attaching a wrap-around stone porch. Key design attributes include a black metal roof, large tapered columns, blue and grey random style flag stone, beaded stain ceiling paneling and an octagonal seating area on the left side of this porch. The front porch has a wide stairway and another set of stairs leads to the back yard. All exterior walls of the home were modified with new headers to allow much larger custom-made windows, new front doors garage doors, and French side and back doors. A custom-designed mahogany front door with leaded glass provides more light and offers a wider entrance into the home’s living area. Design challenges included removing the entire face of the home and then adding new insulation, Tyvek and Hardiplank siding. The use of high-efficiency low-e windows makes the home air tight. The Arts & Crafts design touches include the front gable over the front porch, the prairie-style grill pattern on the windows and doors, the use of tapered columns sitting over stone columns and the leaded glass front door. Decorative exterior lighting provides the finishing touches to this look. Inside, custom woodwork, crown molding, custom glass cabinets and interior pillars carry the design. Upon entering the space, visitors face a large partition that separates the living area from a gourmet Arts & Crafts kitchen and dining room. The home’s signature space, the kitchen offers contrasting dark and light cherry cabinets. Wide plank hard wood floors, exotic granite counters and stainless steel professional-grade appliances make this a kitchen fit for any chef.

These doors/windows really are the definition of indoor/outdoor living. The steel doors, and the companion leaded stained glass windows lead from the family room to the pool/patio area. The accents of color seen in the stained glass selections were made by the client. She truly enjoyed going through 30+ years of our project colors and textures, and picking the ones that were her favorites. You'll also notice the use of Rondels, which are the round colored glass pieces. These elements, sometimes referred to as "bottle glass" are all individually hand blown. The great advantage of this style of art-glass is how well it blends into the architecture, and offers the authenticity necessary for a sprawling Mediterranean/Spanish Colonial Hacienda. Just the random touches of color, blended with the grid pattern to match the doors not only accents the interiors, but draws you to the outside as well. Photo: Mark Levy Studio

The arena creme travertine patio becomes a walkway that leads to an aluma wood structure at the opposite end of the yard from the BBQ. This backyard butts up against a golf course so there is a lot going on!

The large deck of sandblasted Eramosa flagstone on concrete has random rectangular saw cuts lending a contemporary look. A long set of Ipe hardwood glass-panelled stairs leads from the deck down to ground level for access to the pool equipment room which was cleverly built into the foundation below the pool.
