So often garage doors dominate the front façade of houses.  In this Bethesda, MD remodeling project we pushed themback behind an arcade deemphasizing the massiveness of the garage doors. At the same time we are creating an interesting architectural element while providing a covered path to the house.

This Potomac, MD residence is another version of a home reaching over a hillside and floating into the trees to enjoy a 360 degree connection with nature from inside the room.  Notice the traditional windows on the right ease the transition between contemporary and traditional aspects of this house. 

Have you ever said “Where can I put those wires they look terrible”?  We came up with an unusual solution to this problem.  During the remodel we created a floating wooden slab with hidden doors to conceal all the Home Theater and stereo components as well as the unsightly wires for this home in Potomac, Md.  The slab is held up by cantilever steel brackets out of the wall.  This gives the room an architectural focus while solving the problem.
We love the challenge of architecturally driven projects.  Accordingly, we have developed our staff and systems around the specific needs of this type of work. The sophistication of this process pays off for our highly detailed designs; in fact it is key to our ability to consistently deliver works of beauty and grace.

This home in Bethesda, MD had been remodeled several different times with different designs.  Our goal was to unify and give cohesion to the house without making major changes.  In this room we started with simply changing the pattern of the window divisions.  We then moved the door to the center and replaced it with French doors.  Overhead ceiling lights were added to brighten the room and we retrimmed the fireplace with a custom designed mantel and stone hearth. 

We believe in a team approach; and working enthusiastically, hand in hand with our clients is very important to us.  Nothing is more satisfying than standing back with our clients, reviewing a completed project and saying, "look at what we've created together".
