This full-home renovation is a study in timeless simplicity — blending soft neutrals, rich textures, and intentional design choices to create a home that feels calm, cohesive, and elevated. The living room centers around a sleek linear fireplace framed by custom built-ins, offering both function and style. Floor-to-ceiling tile and clean cabinetry lines create an elegant focal point, while warm hardwood floors bring natural balance and warmth to the space. Throughout the home, craftsmanship is on full display — from the custom stair railing with matte black spindles and natural oak handrails to the precision tilework in each bathroom. The design strikes a perfect balance between modern updates and classic comfort. Bathrooms feature subtle sophistication with soft-toned vertical tile, brass fixtures, and fresh white vanities that feel bright and inviting. Every finish was selected to enhance light and texture while maintaining a sense of understated luxury. This remodel embodies what D&G Construction is known for: quality materials, precise detailing, and homes built to feel as beautiful as they are functional.

2012 NARI Capital CotY, Merit Award Winner, Residential Basement Interior Newer home in suburb of Ashburn, VA was a home to this military couple. With their growing family and their daughter moving back, they wanted more space. The basement was delivered unfinished from the original builder. The owners could not come up with a desirable floor plan for the space due to stairway that builder put in place and locations of Furnace and hot water heater. After our design staff consulted this couple, we put in a plan in place that they never imagined it to be possible and even affordable. The moved the hot water heater and relocated a stack of return duct to allow more floor space. Then we have redesigned couple of headers to make room for stairway to be redirected. Now the new stairway comes directly from upper level family room and got an open glass door to allow light down the stair path. Just to the left of the stairs we have square off an area for Mechanical and storage room. This confined all ducts, hot water heater and furnace to be in their dedicated area as well as offer storage shelving for additional seasonal packages. The primary goal was to have a home office, full bathroom, guest bedroom and a large entertaining area for their large Texan relatives to visit. We have removed couple of bearing walls by the way of recess structural beams and decorative columns to make the entertaining area as large as to can be. Now we has an 35’x35’ area covered in Exotic Tigerwood and decorated with paneled walls, multi layer crown molding, chair rail, shadow boxing and columns . Just as you come down the steps we have dark cherry built ins to show off her prized possessions, to the right of it double French doors lead us to their home office/library. We have more built-ins along the wide hallway leading into entertaining area. A full bath with double entry to main area and adjacent bedroom furnished with full large walk in shower covered with porcelain decorative tiles and furniture style vanity. We have excavated and created an e-grass window to allow a Bedroom in the left of this basement. A large bar was implemented on the far walls of this basement filled in with cherry custom cabinetry, exotic stone top, tile floors and decorative pendent lights was a place to watch football games and hang out. Focal point of this basement was placement of a new gas fireplace embedded in ledge stone and a large LED TV just above it. This assembly was placed across a sectional piece of furniture and was popping out as you enter the room. By carefully selecting the wood tones of built ins and bar cabinetry complimenting the Exotic wood floors and stone top this place was now the home to our their family events.

This sophisticated home library and study showcases the beauty of moody, saturated color with custom floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry painted in a deep dark teal. Open upper shelving provides an elegant ledge for displaying framed artwork, books, and family mementos, while closed lower cabinets offer seamless storage, accented by refined brass hardware. The seating area is anchored by a distressed brick-red traditional area rug and features two tailored windowpane plaid club chairs centered around a dark wood coffee table with a modern geometric metal base. This transitional space perfectly balances cozy, classic elements with clean, modern execution

This spacious walk-in closet offers a boutique-inspired layout with floor-to-ceiling built-ins designed for maximum organization. Adjustable white shelving creates dedicated zones for shoes, folded items, and accessories, while double hanging areas provide room for both short and long garments. A large picture window fills the space with natural light, elevating the crisp, organized look. Warm, wide-plank wood floors balance the white cabinetry, giving the closet a modern yet inviting feel. Thoughtfully planned and highly functional, this closet delivers luxury-level storage with a clean, minimalist aesthetic.

This two-story traditional home plan will meet the needs of the modern family without sacrificing style. The stone, cedar and siding exterior creates low-maintenance curb appeal. Conveniently located through the garage entrance is a powder room, mudroom and utility room. Thoughtful details including shelves and cabinets in the mudroom promote easy living for even the busiest families. The great room's soaring two story ceiling adds elegance while custom-styled details including shelves and built-ins add practical storage space. The walk-in pantry is easily accessible from the kitchen and the nearby e-space is surrounded by windows. The large screen porch features a fireplace and is filled with natural light from two skylights. The master suite includes two walk-in closets, a tray ceiling and a bay window, the perfect space for a cozy sitting area. The master bath offers additional storage with shelves and space for linens. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share a bathroom with a large vanity space, a sun tunnel and built-in shelves for extra storage. A bonus room awaits expansion in this home plan.

This Midnight Manor lounge blends nostalgic character with curated modern style. The space wraps guests in rich terracotta hues and whimsical paisley wallpaper, while powder-blue built-ins and a lush green valance introduce playful contrast. Deep velvet sofas offer warmth and texture, anchored by artful patterns and vintage-inspired lighting. Every element—from the layered textiles to the decorative accents—feels intentionally collected, creating a space that’s both inviting and expressive. A perfect retreat for conversation, reading, or reflection, this room celebrates eclectic elegance with a timeless twist.

This serene master bedroom creates a luxurious retreat with its sophisticated four-poster bed as the stunning centerpiece. The dark metal canopy frame contrasts beautifully with soft gray bedding and the textured upholstered headboard. Matching gray nightstands with brass hardware flank the bed, while elegant wall sconces provide ambient lighting. Large windows on either side flood the space with natural light and offer glimpses of the surrounding landscape. A linen-upholstered bench at the foot of the bed adds both seating and style, while the neutral color palette of grays and whites creates a calming atmosphere perfect for rest and relaxation in this waterfront sanctuary.

We were thrilled to take on this whole home remodel for a growing family in Santa Monica. The home is a multi-level condominium. They were looking for a contemporary update. The living room offers a custom built mantel with entertainment center. The kitchen and bathrooms all have custom made cabinetry. Unique in this kitchen is the down draft. The border floor tile in the kid’s bathroom ties all of the green mosaic marble together. However, our favorite feature may be the fire pit which allows the homeowners to enjoy their patio all year long.

The main communal space in this modern home is the large living room with a large oak paneled fire place and array of south facing windows. A floor to ceiling oak screen offers some spatial definition between the kitchen and the living room, while still creating a fluid great room feel. Tucked to the right of the fireplace, the fireplace ledge continues into a special little nook for the kids.

This private home office blends sophistication and functionality through thoughtful design and refined finishes. Black-framed glass doors create separation while maintaining openness and natural light, offering a quiet workspace without feeling closed off. Custom-built-in cabinetry and shelving provide both storage and display, grounding the room with warmth and purpose. Wide plank wood flooring pairs seamlessly with soft neutral walls, while the statement chandelier adds an elevated touch that transforms this office into a space that feels both productive and inspiring.

This Newport Beach office exudes opulence and sophistication with its rich wood paneling, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. French-inspired details like the ornate ceiling medallion and the intricately carved fireplace mantel add a touch of classic elegance. A modern acrylic desk and chair provide a striking contrast to the traditional elements, while the plush seating area invites relaxation and contemplation. The expansive windows offer a glimpse of the stunning coastal views, while the rich hardwood floors and statement chandelier complete the luxurious aesthetic. This office is a sanctuary of style and comfort, perfect for both work and leisure.

This stunning home is a combination of the best of traditional styling with clean and modern design, creating a look that will be as fresh tomorrow as it is today. Traditional white painted cabinetry in the kitchen, combined with the slab backsplash, a simpler door style and crown moldings with straight lines add a sleek, non-fussy style. An architectural hood with polished brass accents and stainless steel appliances dress up this painted kitchen for upscale, contemporary appeal. The kitchen islands offers a notable color contrast with their rich, dark, gray finish. The stunning bar area is the entertaining hub of the home. The second bar allows the homeowners an area for their guests to hang out and keeps them out of the main work zone. The family room used to be shut off from the kitchen. Opening up the wall between the two rooms allows for the function of modern living. The room was full of built ins that were removed to give the clean esthetic the homeowners wanted. It was a joy to redesign the fireplace to give it the contemporary feel they longed for. Their used to be a large angled wall in the kitchen (the wall the double oven and refrigerator are on) by straightening that out, the homeowners gained better function in the kitchen as well as allowing for the first floor laundry to now double as a much needed mudroom room as well.

We designed this home to perfectly blend modern luxury with industrial warmth, anchored by an expansive matte charcoal entertainment center and dramatic walnut slat wall paneling. The built-ins offer a beautiful balance of open display shelving and concealed storage, accented with clean white countertops that match the bright, airy feel of the room. Rich leather seating, an industrial exposed duct, and carefully curated styling elements complete this cozy yet highly sophisticated metropolitan retreat.
