Our MOSS customers came to us knowing they wanted to stay in their home in their McLean community, with friendly neighbors and good schools for their children. The problem? Their home, a standard split foyer, didn’t suit their needs as their children grew older. Knowing that yard space comes at a premium in Northern Virginia, they instead chose to add on an entire second floor above the home’s main structure, which would include a new master suite with ensuite bathroom, two bedrooms for their children with a connecting “jack and jill” bathroom, a new laundry room for the main level, and a stunning staircase to connect the top two levels. MOSS also transformed an old bedroom into a new home gym and updated the basement with built-ins and a fireplace to mimic the new built-ins and fireplace on the main level, plus added on a front porch with beautiful stonework. By focusing on our customers’ needs, the end result is beautiful and functional. To boot? The entire exterior was updated with new siding and a subdued blue color scheme – a dramatic difference from the original brick exterior.

There are many lighting rules which apply to the conceptual plan. Smaller parcels diminish light glare and pollution for the neighbors. Overuse of horizontal fixture types creates a landing strip appearance. The lighting design should have no dark holes. There should be lighting connectivity and composition throughout the design. Equal brightness of focal points surrounding architectural elements needs to be considered. Brightness levels need to be illuminated with connecting lower levels of illumination and stay underneath dark sky limits. The points of view need to be identified. These, and other lighting conceptual concerns, are presented and discussed individually in an effort to establish a master lighting plan for the property. This lighting plan can be implemented in phases do to budget, time constraints, and desires of the homeowner. The landscape lighting master plan brings the landscape plan to the fullest 8 seasons, 4 seasons both day and night.

Transitions between rooms deserve as much attention as the rooms themselves. Here, the furniture stays within clearly defined zones, leaving a comfortable passage through the opening and allowing the different spaces to feel connected rather than crowded. — Eliza Bush

This new beautiful home has many windows that view out to the lakes and marshlands that surround the lot. Leaving the windows open and free of heavy window treatments was very important, but the room needed to be softened from the hard surfaces. Soft roman shades and stationary drapery panels in transparent fabric with shine and dimension were chosen. Leather swivel chairs were chosen to stay durable with children using them; instead of a coffee table taking up a large space in the middle, smaller upholstered ottoman that can function as a coffee table was chosen instead.

Inspiration for a modern landscaping in San Francisco.

The owners, inspired by mid-century modern architecture, hired Klopf Architecture to design an Eichler-inspired 21st-Century, energy efficient new home that would replace a dilapidated 1940s home. The home follows the gentle slope of the hillside while the overarching post-and-beam roof above provides an unchanging datum line. The changing moods of nature animate the house because of views through large glass walls at nearly every vantage point. Every square foot of the house remains close to the ground creating and adding to the sense of connection with nature.

Bedroom - contemporary bedroom idea in San Francisco

His Bathroom. Outfitted with a rain shower and bench, the light gray tiled shower feels very zen. We added the darker stone tile above the vanity for contrast and a beautiful statement.

This pantry connects Kitchen and Dining Room while showcasing the importance of storage. Any family will agree in this day and age that a clutter free home helps the mind stay at peace as well. So come home, sit down to dinner and relax. Cabinetry Paint: PPG1001-4, Flagstone - Semi-gloss Juno Lighting Flooring:Minwax - Espresso

The classic modern design of this kitchen was planned for an active young family of four who uses the space as their central hub for gathering, eating and staying connected. Our goals were to create a beautiful and highly functional kitchen with an emphasis on cabinet organization, heated floors and incorporating a live edge slab countertop. We removed an existing bulky island and replaced it with a new island that while only 60 x 26 in size packs a powerful punch housing a baking center, trash/recycle center, microwave oven and cookbook storage. The island seemed the natural place for the gorgeous live edge slab coupled with vintage mercury glass light pendants that make for a truly stunning kitchen island. Polished carrara quartz perimeter counters pair beautifully with the watery blue-green glass backsplash tile. A message center conveniently located on a side panel of the refrigerator cabinet houses built in mailboxes, a family calendar and magnetic surface to display the children’s artwork. We are pleased to have met the family’s goals and that they love their kitchen. Design mission accomplished! Photography by: Marcela Winspear

Eat-in kitchen - traditional l-shaped eat-in kitchen idea in Portland Maine with light wood cabinets, beige backsplash, an undermount sink, recessed-panel cabinets, stone tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and an island

A 2-story brick and limestone fireplace that connects a new deck and patio area. The new deck is made of tigerwood, with metal railings. The centerpiece is the fireplace, with plenty of room for a grill and two seating areas. A new set of stairs and revamped landscaping takes you down to the ground level. Patio level has a 780 square foot floor of stamped rough stone texture concrete. This fireplace is 2-sided see-through, with a generous wrap-around limestone hearth for lounging (toasted marshmallows, anyone?). The covered portion of the patio is ornamented with tigerwood, brick and limestone columns and an LCD TV. All stays dry with a ceiling that doubles as an underdeck drainage system. Photo by Toby Weiss
