FINALIST AWARD

After purchasing a single owner late 1950’s custom home in Washington’s Crestwood neighborhood, these repeat customers contacted us. They wanted to preserve the spirit of their home while correcting structural problems, updating the finishes and improving the layout wherever possible. The most design intensive area was the master bedroom suite but work was performed throughout the house, except the kitchen, which will be completed at a later date.


Unusual Challenges/Constraints and Creative Solutions


- The flow of the master bedroom suite was rationalized by relocating the bathroom door. This improved the flow of the bedroom and space within the bathroom.
- A combination of settlement and poor construction required us to level several floor and ceiling areas.
- Customers had a very specific look they wanted to achieve. They had a number of dark mahogany furnishings and wanted to design a clean, contemporary look. We custom designed and fabricated an entire wall of flush mahogany 8’-0” closet doors with Rixon offset pivot hinges. This wall conceals closet space and an entertainment center. This look is carried around through the entry hall and into the bathroom. Note the book-matched grain on the mahogany door elements.
- Lighting in this area was improved by installing switched outlets on either side of the bed, several low voltage recessed lights and strip lights in the closets controlled by jamb switches.

-The vanity elevation in the master bathroom is a unique and challenging design. It incorporates precision flush mount medicine cabinets built into a wall of mirrors. Custom strip lights are located behind the one-way mirrors, so that when they are off you cannot see them. The precise proportions and layout of the square sinks and wall mounted faucets with the custom vanities below required a full mock up before final proportions were approved.
We updated all of these rooms with new doors, electrical work, plaster work and painting.
