Contemporary Design in Northwest DC

Sandy Spring Builders

This home exemplifies the meaning of contemporary design. Our clients wanted something that would stand out in a community of new homes in the prestigious 1801 Foxhall development in Northwest DC. The stones for the exterior were individually cut and laid so that they provided a more modern feel. The narrow windows with stone headers and ledges add to that feeling, along with the flat wood-paneled garage door. The wood trim details throughout the home and the exquisite custom Italian tiles were all completely custom designed, along with the sleek kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities. The feeling of contemporary, clean lines are carried out everywhere in the home. And the most prominent feature for that is the wood and steel linear “zig-zag” staircase which is a centerpiece of the home. The sauna has a luxurious Scandinavian feel that works well in the home. One of the most interesting features of this home are the views from different rooms, looking towards other parts of the home. You are able to see new and interesting design features from a variety of angles, each one creating its own contemporary look.

Un projet unique mixant élégance et confort - Projet Dominique

Mon Concept Habitation

Le projet Dominique est le résultat de recherches et de travaux de plusieurs mois. Ce magnifique appartement haussmannien saura vous inspirer si vous êtes à la recherche d’inspiration raffinée et originale. Ici les luminaires sont des objets de décoration à part entière. Tantôt ils prennent la forme de nuage dans la chambre des enfants, de délicates bulles chez les parents ou d’auréoles planantes dans les salons. La cuisine, majestueuse, épouse totalement le mur en longueur. Il s’agit d’une création unique signée eggersmann by Paul & Benjamin. Pièce très importante pour la famille, elle a été pensée tant pour leur permettre de se retrouver que pour accueillir des invitations officielles. La salle de bain parentale est une oeuvre d’art. On y retrouve une douche italienne minimaliste en pierre. Le bois permet de donner à la pièce un côté chic sans être trop ostentatoire. Il s’agit du même bois utilisé pour la construction des bateaux : solide, noble et surtout imperméable.

A unique project combining elegance and comfort

Mon Concept Habitation - London

This project is the result of research and work lasting several months. This magnificent Haussmannian apartment will inspire you if you are looking for refined and original inspiration. Here the lights are decorative objects in their own right. Sometimes they take the form of a cloud in the children's room, delicate bubbles in the parents' or floating halos in the living rooms. The majestic kitchen completely hugs the long wall. It is a unique creation by eggersmann by Paul & Benjamin. A very important piece for the family, it has been designed both to allow them to meet and to welcome official invitations. The master bathroom is a work of art. There is a minimalist Italian stone shower. Wood gives the room a chic side without being too conspicuous. It is the same wood used for the construction of boats: solid, noble and above all waterproof.

Bathroom Design Ideas with Open Cabinets and Stone Slab

If you’re looking for bathroom ideas, look no further than Houzz. Our image gallery brings you a large range of photos with inspiration for your viewing pleasure, and not only that - you can also save your ideas in ideabooks and find the professional that has done the job. When planning your bathroom design or update, start by collecting images of designs you like and take it from there. Whether you are designing your bathroom from scratch, redesigning, updating or simply decorating, you’ll be sure to find ideas for every possible scenario. And once you're ready, you can find the architect and/or builder to get the job done. But let’s start with the bathroom design basics.

How to Plan Your Bathroom Design

A good bathroom design brings together beauty and functionality. It reflects your personality in its style, colours, fittings and fixtures, but serves your needs to a tee both when you’re getting ready for work in the morning and when you want to wind down in your bathtub after a long day.

1 Collect Bathroom Ideas to Decide on Your Layout

Firstly, consider your space. Is it rectangular or are you working with a long, narrow room? This will determine how many wet walls you can accommodate, and if a bathtub can fit. For example, in a narrow room a freestanding bathtub may not work, and a one-wall layout that lines up shower, toilet and vanity on the same wall will make sense in most cases. (It’s also the most budget-friendly option in terms of plumbing). Maybe separate rooms for toilet and shower make sense? Maybe you want to work with a window above a bathtub or in the shower. You may live in an old house where you can keep some of the original character of the home, or you may be working with a small apartment space. All these considerations are vital in deciding on which layout will work best for you. Have a look at some popular ideas to get started.

2 Consider How You Use Your Bathroom

Once you’ve gathered some inspiration, have a think about who is using the room, and how they will be using it. A single guy needs a lot less storage than a teenage girl, and a family bathroom may need to consider elderly family members. Making your bathroom wheelchair accessible could save you thousands down the line. You may also want to accommodate a washer and dryer in the bathroom, since it’s where clothes are taken off frequently. Also consider safety and cleaning. Ensure no-one will slip and hurt themselves, and consider that many little tiles will make for many little nooks for grime to accumulate, whereas big surfaces like a sink that is integrated with the vanity counter, or a big mirror will make wiping down the surface much easier than having sinks sitting on top or an intricately designed mirror.

3 Your Style Determines The Colours and Fixtures You Choose

When looking at bathroom photos on Houzz, you’ll probably lean towards a certain style pretty soon. Are you into rustic charm, modern beach house style or a mix of styles? This will determine if you opt for whites, greys and blues or if you go for dark cabinets, black floor tiles or bronze fixtures. Specifically, you want to consider:

Tiling

Are you going to tile floors and walls? There’s so many possibilities, from your choice of tile to how they are laid. If you’re budget conscious, you may want to consider a wallpaper or paint for certain areas. A simple grey tile can make room for other elements to shine, while mosaics or a subway tile can make a great feature wall.

Lighting

Lighting doesn’t only look pretty, but can impact your bathroom experience significantly. The mirror is a special area you want to light well, so that you don’t miss any hair when shaving or can apply that perfect line to your eye.

Furniture & Fixtures

Pay attention to how colours of cabinets and floor can impact a room. You may want to consider a wooden floor for something different and pair it with simple white vanity and cabinets, or you may want to go for the steampunk look with bronze tubes and black walls. Consider what type of shower, bathtub (if any), toilet, sink and vanity you want. Maybe you have space for a generous spa with walk-in shower, or maybe you want a freestanding bath to be the feature of the room.
