For this project, we were brought on to update this 1920's home and open up multiple small rooms into one great room. Some of the features incorporated with this were new pocket doors, all new flooring, lighting, cabinets, countertops, windows, backsplashes, and updated paint. Another unique way we accomplished opening up the home was by repositioning the stairway which provided more square footage in the kitchen and create a better traffic flow throughout the house. Alongside of opening up the main level, we also totally renovated both upstairs bathrooms by performing a complete gut and remodel.

Removing an exterior door improved the functionality of this renovated kitchen. Natural wood tones, paired with the clean lines of white cabinetry and a minimalist backsplash tile, give this Scandinavian-inspired kitchen a timeless look.

This chic and contemporary basement renovation is for an accessory apartment dwelling. Its intriguing spatial configuration transforms an ordinary unfinished basement into a lofty and trendy apartment with a relatively high ceiling, delectable color palette, and day-lighting.

The courtyard treated as an evening room: perimeter lit, center left calm. Sconces carry the wings at a consistent height so the eye runs straight to the lit entry at the back.

A guest bedroom provides a quiet respite for visitors. This design called for the creation of a legal window egress from the bedroom, and also provides abundant natural light. Recessed lighting along with the soft carpet to match the neutral pallet of the home, this room is a beautiful continuation of the multi-purpose basement.

Kitchen - modern kitchen idea in DC Metro

In our world of kitchen design, it’s lovely to see all the varieties of styles come to life. From traditional to modern, and everything in between, we love to design a broad spectrum. Here, we present a two-tone modern kitchen that has used materials in a fresh and eye-catching way. With a mix of finishes, it blends perfectly together to create a space that flows and is the pulsating heart of the home. With the main cooking island and gorgeous prep wall, the cook has plenty of space to work. The second island is perfect for seating – the three materials interacting seamlessly, we have the main white material covering the cabinets, a short grey table for the kids, and a taller walnut top for adults to sit and stand while sipping some wine! I mean, who wouldn’t want to spend time in this kitchen?! Cabinetry With a tuxedo trend look, we used Cabico Elmwood New Haven door style, walnut vertical grain in a natural matte finish. The white cabinets over the sink are the Ventura MDF door in a White Diamond Gloss finish. Countertops The white counters on the perimeter and on both islands are from Caesarstone in a Frosty Carrina finish, and the added bar on the second countertop is a custom walnut top (made by the homeowner!) with a shorter seated table made from Caesarstone’s Raw Concrete. Backsplash The stone is from Marble Systems from the Mod Glam Collection, Blocks – Glacier honed, in Snow White polished finish, and added Brass. Fixtures A Blanco Precis Silgranit Cascade Super Single Bowl Kitchen Sink in White works perfect with the counters. A Waterstone transitional pulldown faucet in New Bronze is complemented by matching water dispenser, soap dispenser, and air switch. The cabinet hardware is from Emtek – their Trinity pulls in brass. Appliances The cooktop, oven, steam oven and dishwasher are all from Miele. The dishwashers are paneled with cabinetry material (left/right of the sink) and integrate seamlessly Refrigerator and Freezer columns are from SubZero and we kept the stainless look to break up the walnut some. The microwave is a counter sitting Panasonic with a custom wood trim (made by Cabico) and the vent hood is from Zephyr.

This new 6400 s.f. two-story split-level home lifts upward and orients toward unobstructed views of Windy Hill. The deep overhanging flat roof design with a stepped fascia preserves the classic modern lines of the building while incorporating a Zero-Net Energy photovoltaic panel system. From start to finish, the construction is uniformly energy efficient and follows California Build It Green guidelines. Many sustainable finish materials are used on both the interior and exterior, including recycled old growth cedar and pre-fabricated concrete panel siding. Photo by: www.bernardandre.com
