A sumptuous upholstered bed in a beige just dark enough to provide a contrast to the wall color, sets the stage for the overlay of soft colors. Pared down to the pure tones of the sand, surf and sea, this master bedroom is the picture of serenity. Distinct Kamala bedding is showcased by the perfect blend of of blue, tan and beige colorblocks on panel drapes. Natural wood and soft white bedside tables reflect the preferences of this couple for both beauty practicality. A large dresser with special hardware conceals the bulky array of components so often crowding a bedroom with digital displays, glaring light and rows of knobs. The remotes are tucked away in drawers in the table on the left. Here is a perfect of good design honoring and reflectiong the preferences of clients.

We’re excited to show off this gorgeous master bathroom and laundry room remodel we just finished in Herndon, Virginia. A bathroom is a serene oasis where you begin or finish your day and decorating it with some stylish features such as a freestanding bathtub is a must. When designing for your bathroom, most of us are limited by space. This can make it harder to make your vision come to life. Usually with some clever design tricks, any size of bathroom can look fantastic. This stunning master bathroom features a freestanding soaking tub, clear shower glass, porcelain big tiles on the shower wall with marble mosaic tile on the floor blended uniquely and walls painted in Sherwin Williams High Reflective Gray SW7072 by Prime Custom Kitchen and Bath Remodeling What’s awesome about this remodel project is that the clients took full use of what makes Prime Custom Kitchen and Bath Remodeling different from other remodelers. The fact that we’re also a cabinetry distributor allows the couple to put a higher-end Fieldstone Cabinetry line in their master bathroom where they wanted to create a gorgeous- transitional getaway, and in the less-occupied spaces like the laundry room, they went for a more affordable line create a look that isn’t only easy on the eyes, but also the budget. Project Type: Master Bath, Laundry Room ($35,000.00) Completion Date: April 2019 Project Location: Herndon, Virginia Designer: Aaron Onal

Our Vancouver client desired a sophisticated yet peaceful setting to display her collection of Buddha's and Chinoiserie, so we created a transitional setting using clean lines mixed with traditional pieces and a variety of complimentary prints in soft tones of sea and teal blues for pillows. Another stylized version of the quatrefoil is repeated in the linens in her master bedroom in blue and cream. The upholstered bed and shams are the perfect backdrop for the distinctive pattern. Layered tailored drapes and woven shades afford privacy, optimal light control and softness to all rooms and metallic accents add texture and dimension. The overall feel is a relaxed global chic!

Inspiration for a tropical bathroom remodel in Hawaii

A full renovation of a Primary Bath Suite. Taking the bathroom down to the studs, we utilized an outdoor closet to expand the space and create a large walk-in wet room housing a shower and soaking tub. All new tile, paint, custom vanity, and finishes created a spa bathroom retreat for our wonderful clients.

Subsequent additions are covered with living green walls to deemphasize stylistic conflicts imposed on a 1940’s Tudor and become backdrop surrounding a kitchen addition. On the interior, further added architectural inconsistencies are edited away, and the language of the Tudor’s original reclaimed integrity is referenced for the addition. Sympathetic to the home, windows and doors remain untrimmed and stark plaster walls contrast the original black metal windows. Sharp black elements contrast fields of white. With a ceiling pitch matching the existing and chiseled dormers, a stark ceiling hovers over the kitchen space referencing the existing homes plaster walls. Grid members in windows and on saw scored paneled walls and cabinetry mirror the machine age windows as do exposed steel beams. The exaggerated white field is pierced by an equally exaggerated 13 foot black steel tower that references the existing homes steel door and window members. Glass shelves in the tower further the window parallel. Even though it held enough dinner and glassware for eight, its thin members and transparent shelves defy its massive nature, allow light to flow through it and afford the kitchen open views and the feeling of continuous space. The full glass at the end of the kitchen reveres a grouping of 50 year old Hemlocks. At the opposite end, a window close to the peak looks up to a green roof.

Hunter Douglas Pirouette provides an elegant look with sophisticated functionality. This bedroom is has blue accents and is completed with the soft lines of the pirouette. The Hunter Douglas Pirouette gives the look of a roman shade with the functionality of a silhouette sheer shade. The Pirouette’s fabric vanes open to a sheer fabric to provide a view through area and allowing light into the room. The sheer fabric provides protection from the harsh UV rays. The shade also closes completely for privacy. The Pirouette has the look of roman shades with the functionality of blinds. The Pirouette also comes in specialty shades that can fit many types of windows such as, arches or angles. The structure of the Pirouette is clean and elegant because the lifting system for the vanes have the patented Invisi-Lift system. This system allows the floating vanes to operate without having the unsightly cords or tapes. The vanes of the Hunter Douglas Pirouette can be flattened or contoured for complete privacy or opened for wide view-through. Protect your wood flooring, furniture or artwork from the damaging ultraviolet rays. The Pirouette Roman Shades block up to 81% of the harmful UV rays with vanes open and 99% with the vanes closed. There is a large selection of fabrics to choose from and two vane sizes. The Pirouette can also be operated manually or by remote control. Hunter Douglas has an app that can control the Pirouette on your iPhone or iPad.

ZeroEnergy Design (ZED) created this modern home for a progressive family in the desirable community of Lexington. Thoughtful Land Connection. The residence is carefully sited on the infill lot so as to create privacy from the road and neighbors, while cultivating a side yard that captures the southern sun. The terraced grade rises to meet the house, allowing for it to maintain a structured connection with the ground while also sitting above the high water table. The elevated outdoor living space maintains a strong connection with the indoor living space, while the stepped edge ties it back to the true ground plane. Siting and outdoor connections were completed by ZED in collaboration with landscape designer Soren Deniord Design Studio. Exterior Finishes and Solar. The exterior finish materials include a palette of shiplapped wood siding, through-colored fiber cement panels and stucco. A rooftop parapet hides the solar panels above, while a gutter and site drainage system directs rainwater into an irrigation cistern and dry wells that recharge the groundwater. Cooking, Dining, Living. Inside, the kitchen, fabricated by Henrybuilt, is located between the indoor and outdoor dining areas. The expansive south-facing sliding door opens to seamlessly connect the spaces, using a retractable awning to provide shade during the summer while still admitting the warming winter sun. The indoor living space continues from the dining areas across to the sunken living area, with a view that returns again to the outside through the corner wall of glass. Accessible Guest Suite. The design of the first level guest suite provides for both aging in place and guests who regularly visit for extended stays. The patio off the north side of the house affords guests their own private outdoor space, and privacy from the neighbor. Similarly, the second level master suite opens to an outdoor private roof deck. Light and Access. The wide open interior stair with a glass panel rail leads from the top level down to the well insulated basement. The design of the basement, used as an away/play space, addresses the need for both natural light and easy access. In addition to the open stairwell, light is admitted to the north side of the area with a high performance, Passive House (PHI) certified skylight, covering a six by sixteen foot area. On the south side, a unique roof hatch set flush with the deck opens to reveal a glass door at the base of the stairwell which provides additional light and access from the deck above down to the play space. Energy. Energy consumption is reduced by the high performance building envelope, high efficiency mechanical systems, and then offset with renewable energy. All windows and doors are made of high performance triple paned glass with thermally broken aluminum frames. The exterior wall assembly employs dense pack cellulose in the stud cavity, a continuous air barrier, and four inches exterior rigid foam insulation. The 10kW rooftop solar electric system provides clean energy production. The final air leakage testing yielded 0.6 ACH 50 - an extremely air tight house, a testament to the well-designed details, progress testing and quality construction. When compared to a new house built to code requirements, this home consumes only 19% of the energy.
