A Space to Work, Think and Play
A prior man-cave and unused dining room were transformed into the favorite place in the home by making these spaces completely functional for the couple. A custom-built maple bookcase-desk-display cabinet that spans both rooms makes space for the vast library owned by this civil-era enthusiast. One of the requirements for the space was that the sofa be extremely comfortable for watching a game or even napping here and there. Touches of boldness were added in the tomato-red archway and mid-century inspired kilim rug.
Old World Meets New World
This full home project was a labor of love for a couple who have lived abroad and travelled extensively. Several mementos for their travels were incorporated into the overall classical, yet modern home design. Art was at the center of every space and it includes works by artists from the USA and Latin America.
A Country House Guest Bath
The full-gut renovation of this country house bathroom had to take into account the home's age: close to 250 years. The space respected the classical architecture of the home while also bringing it into modern times via cleaner lines, specifically in the shower enclosure. An old convector heating box was replaced by a refurbished radiator, better for the space--and much more efficient for heating the space!
From Vanilla to Vibrant
This home owned by a young family in McLean, VA has a very clean contemporary, modern organic style, beautifully designed. Yet it was missing something that would bring soul into the space, highlighting the family's joyful, young energy. NAS helped them find what became the crown jewel for their living space.
