2011 NARI CAPITAL COTY MERIT AWARD WINNER This couple lived in their colonial home in Burke, Virginia, for more than 20 years. Now that their children were grown and gone, it was time for them to pay more attention to their home. First on their list was to renovate their master bathroom. Tight and dysfunctional is how they described the existing space. The homeowners always dreamed of having a whirlpool, a large steam shower and a private toilet area. Importantly, they wanted to use the latest products and materials to bring the bathroom into the 21st Century. Starting with exotic granite and porcelain tile from floor to ceiling, the new design does just that. Then, a highly sophisticated steam shower using granite benches, a heavy glass enclosure, chrome faucets and a rain shower head was installed. Modern body spray heads are embedded in the wall tiles. The shower is complemented by a bubble, jetted whirlpool tub with granite surrounds. A modern double vanity with vessel sinks, a granite countertop, high end cabinets and stylish faucets rest along one wall. Custom-built, recessed mirrored medicine cabinets provide storage for necessities. In the end, the homeowners are thrilled with the outcome and never imagined that their old and dark looking small bath could ever be transformed into such beautiful bathroom.

This beautiful French Provincial home is set on 10 acres, nestled perfectly in the oak trees. The original home was built in 1974 and had two large additions added; a great room in 1990 and a main floor master suite in 2001. This was my dream project: a full gut renovation of the entire 4,300 square foot home! I contracted the project myself, and we finished the interior remodel in just six months. The exterior received complete attention as well. The 1970s mottled brown brick went white to completely transform the look from dated to classic French. Inside, walls were removed and doorways widened to create an open floor plan that functions so well for everyday living as well as entertaining. The white walls and white trim make everything new, fresh and bright. It is so rewarding to see something old transformed into something new, more beautiful and more functional.

Unique and singular, this home enjoys stunning, direct views of New York City and the Hudson River. Theinnovative Mid Century design features a rear façade of glass that showcases the views. The floor plan is perfect for entertaining with an indoor/outdoor flow to the landscaped patio, terrace and plunge pool. The master suite offers city views, a terrace, lounge, massive spa-like bath and a large walk-in closet. This home features expert use of organic materials and attention to detail throughout. 907castlepoint.com.

This property has been completely remodeled and features an open floor-plan with quality finishes throughout. All the systems in the house, electrical, hvac, appliances, floors, garage door, entry doors, bathroom, kitchen, windows, and roof are brand new. The entire lot has been beautifully landscaped with new sod and a new deck off the master into an entertainer's backyard. The garage has been fully finished with new drywall and includes a bonus room off that back of the garage! This spectacular space is a perfect area for a home office, gym, study, or even convert to an ADU and truly capture the value add potential of this space! Intelligent design, scrupulous attention to detail, and no expense spared

As is often the case in the homes that I see, this bathroom was dark, run down and used more out of necessity than anything else. In much need of attention, I redesigned this space to be open and flooded with natural light. Highly reflective surfaces, allow the eye to bounce around the room. A re-built, high end shower now feels like a spa with multiple controls at a user’s service. A sculptural bathtub, sets relaxation up for long lingering and highlights the lake side view. Automated, custom designed window treatments are remoted controlled for ease and vanities are wide and softly cheery to leave the mornings with lots of useable space. We completely changed the footprint of this master bath, adding a water closet clad in a wonderful high gloss veneer. Giving the space richness through color, materials, texture and all of this glorious marble flooring and wall tiles, this space now makes you want to spend extra time getting ready.

We transformed this bathroom from bland to grand! Our goal was to have a cohesive design throughout the whole house that was unique and special to our Client yet could be appreciated by anyone. Sparing no attention to detail, this Moroccan theme feels comfortable and fashionable all at the same time. Warm and inspiring, we don't want to leave this amazing space~

This double-vanity bathroom balances warmth and refinement in equal measure. Rich cherry wood cabinetry with clean, shaker-style lines anchors the space, topped by a continuous white quartz countertop that carries the eye across both sinks. Matte black fixtures, hardware, and mirror frames add quiet contrast against the crisp white walls, while a hexagonal tile floor and glass-enclosed shower with subway tile bring texture without competing for attention. The result is a space that feels both grounded and airy — a serene retreat built for everyday luxury.

The master bedroom was designed to exude warmth and intimacy. The fireplace was updated to have a modern look, offset by painted, exposed brick. We designed a custom asymmetrical headboard that hung off the wall and extended to the encapsulate the width of the room. We selected three silk bamboo rugs of complimenting colors to overlap and surround the bed. This theme of layering: simple, monochromatic whites and creams makes its way around the room and draws attention to the warmth and woom at the floor and ceilings.

School settings require students to maintain concentration and sit still for long periods of time throughout the day. Needless to say, that can be tough not only for teenagers but adults as well. Harnessing sheer roller shades to cover classroom windows helps ensure sunlight doesn’t become a hindrance in the path of education, but a facilitator of better learning. By diffusing sunlight that enters the classrooms, students don’t suffer the negative cognitive impact of harsh glare that’s strainful on the eyes. Instead, they enjoy the benefits sunlight plays in maintaining alertness and attentiveness. Classroom window shades that provide better privacy also help to keep outside distractions from interfering with the lessons, keeping students focused on the subject at hand. The right use of colorful roller shades can also complement sensory cues for focus created by the classroom environment.
