After many years with his late wife who specified interiors, this older gentleman decided to opt for a luxurious master suite update more suited to his individual tastes. He wanted first to remove a little-used soaking tub to create a roomy second-floor bathroom. Mindful that he would be aging in the home, we set out to create a design that would be polished, functional, and fully accessible.

The new master suite now creates an enticing and relaxing respite, yet remarkably practical space for years to come.

The sleek hand shower with a thermostatic control valve guarantees an effective cleanse from any angle, while the massive multi-setting rain shower head promises a natural spa-like retreat. A recessed niche makes for convenient shelving and a custom bench provides a place to sit or rest when needed.

The owners of a 1920s Tudor wanted to create an in-law suite in their unused 674-square-foot attic. Granted, the top floor may seem an unlikely place for aging parents, even with their active lifestyle. But a space-conscious elevator and a bit of clever construction transformed the lofty space into a well-appointed—and completely accessible—retirement retreat. ⁠
⁠
The comfortable in-law suite comes complete with bedroom, sitting room, bathroom, kitchenette, and coffee bar—each just steps apart and beautifully appointed.⁠

Too much together time? Maybe it's time to think about for his + hers retreats.⁠
⁠
A young couple had designs on the perfect master bathroom—that is, two perfect baths. For her, a light-filled, white room with a spacious shower and ample storage. For him—a handsome spa with steam—featuring anthracite porcelain walls and floors and a frameless shower with chunky bench for relaxing.⁠

While seemingly impossible in this DC heatwave, we hope you're all staying cool this week! ⁠
⁠
With their children grown and out of the house, this couple was ready to re-imagine their 1960s ranch-style home in suburban DC as a place to enjoy their golden years. The original layout was choppy, with lots of small rooms and a staircase that monopolized the entry. The clients wanted more open space for entertaining, with a sightline straight to the backyard. Extending the living room and adjacent bedroom over the existing patio helped do just that. ⁠
⁠
Carnemark expanded the living room above with an outdoor alcove on the ground level. A simple, sculptural ceiling fan and the slatted wood screen keeps the space cool and uncluttered. ⁠
⁠
In the client's words: "We felt in good hands throughout every step of the process. The project was completed on time, with meticulous craftsmanship and quality. Despite the extensive nature of our home's remodel, the resulting "new house" blends seamlessly with the original. The end result was masterful and far exceeded our expectations. Thank you Carnemark for our beautiful home!"⁠

Does your home office spark joy? In this new normal, it's important to create a space that inspires and delights.

In this apartment remodel, the home office was outfitted with floating walnut shelves that serve as both storage and display while echoing the walnut cabinetry in the kitchen. Track lighting maximizes the ceiling height throughout.
