This condo in Sterling, VA belongs to a couple about to enter into retirement. They own this home in Sterling, along with a weekend home in West Virginia, a vacation home on Emerald Isle in North Carolina and a vacation home in St. John. They want to use this home as their "home-base" during their retirement, when they need to be in the metro area for business or to see family. The condo is small and they felt it was too "choppy," it didn't have good flow and the rooms were too separated and confined. They wondered if it could have more of an open concept feel but were doubtful due to the size and layout of the home. The furnishings they owned from their previous home were very traditional and heavy. They wanted a much lighter, more open and more contemporary feel to this home. They wanted it to feel clean, light, airy and much bigger then it is. The first thing we tackled was an unsightly, and very heavy stone veneered fireplace wall that separated the family room from the office space. It made both rooms look heavy and dark. We took down the stone and opened up parts of the wall so that the two spaces would flow into each other. We added a view thru fireplace and gave the fireplace wall a faux marble finish to lighten it and make it much more contemporary. Glass shelves bounce light and keep the wall feeling light and streamlined. Custom built ins add hidden storage and make great use of space in these small rooms. Our strategy was to open as much as possible and to lighten the space through the use of color, fabric and glass. New furnishings in lighter colors and soft textures help keep the feeling light and modernize the space. Sheer linen draperies soften the hard lines and add to the light, airy feel.

We designed an extended patio cover to include a Fire Feature with additional seating and dining room for our client’s lovely stucco home. Projecting outward at an obtuse angle, the entertaining patio provides ample seating options for many to gather around the wood-burning fireplace. This 42” stainless steel fireplace includes a gas log lighter for added convenience! Attention-drawing, it also features an extended hearth. The client requested an Extensive Electrical package including a 50” HDTV mounted above the fireplace with Bose Flushmount Sound System to provide optimal sound throughout the outdoor living room. Recessed lighting, nestled in the elegant Tongue and Groove ceiling, illuminates the patio while the flood lights on the surrounding exterior highlight the Complete Landscaping package in the lawn. Completing this outdoor living room, stamped concrete perfects this space with a beautiful, bright pattern to complement the existing stucco finishes. Though this project is an add-on, the stucco texture, paint, and trim look utterly original to the home!
