REFINED REMODEL

INSIDE THE LINES. The owners of a traditional home in suburban Virginia were eager to modernize—without stepping outside its original footprint. For starters, playing up the home’s existing features made this an especially effective remodel. With an emphasis on flow and function, the refined plan ultimately creates open, airy spaces where the family can gather, relax, and entertain their extended family and friends.

TRADITIONAL TWIST

VALUE ADD. The owners of this Colonial Revival loved its quiet neighborhood and characteristic brick façade. But the traditional floor plan left little room for growth. The solution would come with a rear addition that respects the home’s existing architectural style while creating a more open, flexible plan to support the everchanging nature of family life.

MAKE IT MODERN

The owner of this two-story brick home bought this property with every intention to remodel. She found the inside cramped and outdated, while the overall layout felt constricted. Outside, she thought the house’s facade failed to make the statement it deserved. The ultimate goal: to modernize from top to bottom, inside and out, and establish an elegant flow that matched her lifestyle.
