2010 NARI CAPITAL COTY FINALIST AWARD WINNER A military couple bought this single family home in a prominent Mount Vernon neighborhood about a year ago. The home had a three-level deck on the back of the house which was falling apart and from which there was no access via the kitchen or breakfast area. Additionally, water run-off was washing a large amount of dirt against the lower level basement door because there was little in terms of landscaping in place. The homeowners wanted to entertain in the backyard and have a good flow from the family room and kitchen onto the back patio. To help them achieve their goals, they hired Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes as their contractor. The first step in the renovation was to remove the entire back deck. Next, they designed and built an 18’x 45’ concrete foundation and slab; designed and built a tall retaining wall coved with flagstone to support the upper level patio; and installed a new patio with flagstone and brick pavers. The new patio level only requires two short steps to get inside of the house. A new set of French doors with sidelights replaces the old breakfast room window to improve the traffic pattern. A new set of French doors with ½ arched transom and two side windows connects the new gourmet kitchen to the back patio. The kitchen offers professional-grade stainless steel appliances, hard wood floors, granite countertops with a tile backsplash and beautiful custom cabinetry. A large center island is the focal point of the room and the gathering spot in this new space.

This Bethesda, Maryland outdoor living project showcases a seamless blend of hardscape design, custom masonry, and elegant outdoor entertaining features. Our team at Eden Design Group transformed the backyard into a functional and stylish retreat perfect for gatherings year-round. The design features custom stonework throughout, including a spacious flagstone patio that connects the home’s entry points to the outdoor living area. A grand outdoor fireplace serves as the focal point, crafted from natural stone to provide warmth, ambiance, and timeless character. Nearby, a pergola-covered dining area adds architectural interest while offering shade and definition to the entertainment space. Strategic plantings and landscape details complement the hardscape, softening the look with greenery and ensuring the project integrates naturally into the Bethesda setting. Every detail—from the stone entry steps to the perimeter garden beds—was designed to maximize curb appeal and long-term durability. This project highlights Eden Design Group’s expertise in Bethesda patio construction, outdoor fireplaces, pergolas, and luxury backyard design. For homeowners across Montgomery County and the greater DMV area, we deliver custom outdoor living spaces that elevate both beauty and functionality.

Quax loves contemporary design and with the Havana room the sleek line and solid wood get a place in the range, confirming its place on the international design scene. Tested by internationally recognized bodies on EN-716 for the beds and EN-12221 for the changing tables and with long-term use in mind. The metal base is finished with a black powder coating. The upper structures are a mix of lacquered and solid wood panels. The charm of solid wood is reflected in its pristine patina and is the guarantee of a natural product that over time becomes increasingly unique and valuable. A contribution that should not be underestimated to the natural and the cozy interior, a caress for the senses. Depending on the tree’s habitat, color differences are possible and proof of its essence. At Quax we use sustainable materials. All the furniture boards meet the strict E1 standard on formaldehyde emissions. We support durable forestry and ask our suppliers to submit the PEFC and FSC certificates. Special care also goes to the furniture fittings. Only reputable suppliers provide us with, among others, quality sliders for the drawers and reliable connecting techniques. The paint finish is another point of attention, we only work with international quality supplierssuch as Akzo Nobel and no local producers. All producers are responsible for the certificates of their products, for example EN 71-3 with attention for the migration of harmful elements. Design also plays an important role in the business philosophy of Quax. In the Havana room the bars are milled out in the Mdf board, which does not only contribute to the fancy nature of this range but also to the sturdiness of the sideframes, not comparable to traditional bars. The range includes beds 120x60 cm, 140x70 cm with optional bedrail, a chest of four drawers with optional changing extension and a two or three-door wardrobe. Kris Van Damme for Quax
