Washington, DC Bespoke Custom Homes

This custom whole home project transformed a Chevy Chase ranch home into a multi-level, multi-generational haven. Our clients sought to expand their living space, enhance accessibility, and infuse the home with a contemporary California-inspired aesthetic. The project encompassed a 4,928 square foot area, including a significant second-story addition and a state-of-the-art elevator.

The first-floor layout was reimagined to create an open, inviting space perfect for entertaining and everyday living. A gourmet kitchen, spacious living areas, and a welcoming front porch were key features of this complete transformation. The second-floor addition provided ample room for four new bedrooms, three new bathrooms, and a secondary laundry room. The elevator seamlessly connects all three levels of the home.

The home's interior designed in collaboration with Zahraa Alwash of ZEE Design was elevated with luxurious finishes and a relaxed, contemporary aesthetic. High-quality materials and thoughtful design choices create a comfortable and stylish living environment. Aging-in-place features, such as the elevator and accessible design elements, ensure the home can accommodate the family's needs for years to come.

Ours clients for this Bethesda project transformed their home into a spacious, accessible, and sustainable forever home for an aging couple. By maximizing the generous lot, we created a home that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living while prioritizing aging-in-place features. The project involved a complete demolition and rebuild, with a strong focus on sustainable elements like optimal solar orientation and creating a space to welcome family and entertain friends.

The home’s layout is centered around accessibility and functionality. A level entry, walk-in garage, and strategically placed elevator ensure effortless navigation throughout the house for years to come. The open floor plan promotes a sense of spaciousness while maintaining clear sightlines. Careful attention was paid to creating a smooth flow between living areas, particularly in the primary suite where wider clearances accommodate future wheelchair use.

A Craftsman-inspired aesthetic defines the home’s exterior and interior. Clean lines, natural materials, and understated details create a timeless and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen, a focal point of the home, features warm wood cabinetry, neutral countertops, and classic subway tile. The overall design strikes a balance between modern comfort and traditional charm.
