Restoring the original elegance of this lovely NW Washington home was our mission. Twenty tons of debris later, six bathrooms, a dining room, a mud room and the kitchen have been stripped to the studs and rebuilt.

Our clients wanted a “grown up” house for their grown up family.
Views of the golf course from the palladium window inspired the color palette for
this casual yet elegant family room.
A Vintage cottage filled with sunshine was the perfect choice for this young couple to raise their two children, but it needed to feel more modern. A few lighting fixtures and soft hues of gray fabrics and finishes infused the living areas with a cool modern feel.
Taking cues from the garden, a sunroom style dining area conjures up the image of Al fresco dining every day!
This NW Washington Cape style home provides a beautiful backdrop for our artist/client’s work. The family’s collection of antiques and art provided us with a foundation that requested simple elegance. Light filled windows, linen slipcovers and velvet pillows invite you to relax and unwind.
This 1798 Frederick County bank barn was converted into a home in 1976. The new owners transformed the structure into a chic lakeside dwelling using classic “French” forms with casual slipcovered seating. This clever mix is a fresh twist that translates into easy living.
Mature trees made natural light in this new kitchen workspace a challenge. A glass “greenhouse” roof solved the problem with style. Combining exposed brick walls, reclaimed wood floors and stainless steel cabinets gave this 20th century colonial a 21st century attitude.
Pairing structural elements that would be found in a typical Maryland barn with clean modern furnishings, we created contrast between rustic and refined. The bright white quartz counter tops and glass chandelier are the surprise, while fumed wood finishes and concrete floors are simply appropriate.
South Mountain peaks through the northeast windows of the barn so it was a natural place for lounge and café seating. We added a layer of Echophon panels to provide additional sound absorption. Placing them in a “cloud” fashion and augmenting a few of the panels with LED lights created a stunning ceiling sculpture.
