This custom kitchen remodel in Vienna, VA was designed to feel timeless, functional, and welcoming. The homeowners wanted a space that balanced clean lines with natural materials, while improving lighting, workflow, and overall comfort.
A key design decision was using Taj Mahal quartzite for both the countertops and the full-height backsplash. Carrying the same stone throughout the kitchen creates a seamless look and allows the soft veining and warm tones of the natural stone to become the focal point of the space.
The cabinetry was selected to complement the stone without overpowering it, offering ample storage and a classic profile that will age well over time. Updated lighting, including under-cabinet and recessed ceiling fixtures, enhances both task functionality and ambiance, while behind-the-scenes upgrades to electrical, ventilation, and HVAC ensure the kitchen performs as beautifully as it looks.
The result is a refined yet livable kitchen designed for everyday use and long-term enjoyment.

These homeowners approached us with a partially finished basement lacking a bathroom and an inefficient laundry area. One of the homeowners used the unconditioned, cold, and damp space as a home office, making it uncomfortable and impractical.
The goal was to create a fully functional and versatile living space by adding a full bathroom, a kitchenette, and a concealed laundry area. The space needed to be designed to serve the family’s daily needs, including accommodating their teenage son and functioning as potential rental income in the future.
Now considered an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), the remodeled basement features a private entrance, bathroom, kitchenette, and bedroom, offering comfort, flexibility, and long-term value for the homeowners.

Inside, the home continues its disciplined aesthetic—open, airy, and rooted in natural texture. White oak floors, custom cabinetry, and stone countertops create a neutral foundation that highlights the home’s architectural lines. The open floor plan connects kitchen, dining, and living areas, while expansive window walls extend sightlines into the landscape.
Mechanical and structural systems are discreetly integrated for comfort and performance. High-efficiency insulation, HVAC zoning, and moisture control ensure long-term durability and efficiency. Outdoor living areas—terraces, porches, and patios—mirror the main structure’s material language, with continuous stone and wood elements that blur the boundary between interior and exterior.
Every joint, reveal, and finish at Summit Ridge exemplifies CarsonSpeer Builders’ dedication to authenticity, proportion, and craftsmanship. This modern Southern residence stands as a testament to timeless design—crafted to endure, inspire, and live beautifully within its mountain setting.

This primary bathroom remodel marks the first transformation in a home our clients purchased ten years ago. With plans to renovate every level over time, this space sets the tone for the style and functionality they envision throughout the rest of their home.
The original layout included a tub that was never used, so we removed it to better utilize the square footage. By relocating the shower and reworking the overall layout, we created a more open, efficient design tailored to their daily routines. Updated finishes and a refreshed color palette establish a cohesive look that finally feels personal and reflective of their taste.
This bathroom renovation is just the beginning, and we are excited to help bring their long term vision to life, one space at a time.

This project features a custom 8-foot cedar board-on-board privacy fence, designed for both durability and timeless curb appeal. The fence is finished with a decorative top cap, adding a clean, elevated look while enhancing long-term protection from the elements.
The property also includes a metal-framed electric sliding driveway gate, providing secure and convenient access, along with matching custom walk-through gates for everyday use. To complete the project, a 4-foot metal fence was installed around the pool area, meeting safety requirements while maintaining a sleek, unobtrusive design that complements the overall aesthetic of the property.
If you’d like, I can also make this shorter, more luxury-focused, or tweak it to highlight security, craftsmanship, or code compliance—just tell me the tone you want.

After: Relocating the closet entrance to the bedroom allowed us to update the design and priortize openness and comfort. We removed the outdated tub to create a larger shower footprint, allowing for the installation of extended glass doors and a luxurious new shower experience. A dark gray 48” “Beckett” vanity with brushed nickel hardware matches the hall bath, creating continuity while allowing for individuality. New flooring features “Atrium Marte” porcelain tile in a soft Perla finish, while the cream ceramic wall tile and Fiorito mosaic shower floor with a “Tumbled Cobble” texture provide visual interest and a spa-like vibe. A fold-down 16” teak shower seat and thermostatic shower system with multi-function heads were added for long-term comfort and accessibility. The mid-century modern mirror and matching Composition Collection sconces complete the transformation with a touch of timeless elegance.

A high‑quality, specialty hardwood floor was installed in the entryway and throughout the entire home, chosen for its durability, stability, and premium finish. This flooring creates a seamless visual flow from the main entrance through the kitchen, living areas, and private spaces, enhancing the sense of openness and cohesion across the interior. Its warm tone and matte finish highlight natural light and complement both the renovated kitchen and the newly opened family room.
The installation was executed with professional precision, ensuring clean transitions, flawless alignment, and a consistent pattern that showcases the natural grain of the wood. This specialty hardwood not only elevates the home’s aesthetic but also adds long‑term value, resilience, and timeless character to every room.
