Chevy Chase, DC
A Warm Take on Contemporary
The interiors of this Chevy Chase townhome balance crisp, modern lines with the warmth and texture of natural wood. A restrained palette creates a calm backdrop throughout the main living spaces, while smaller rooms—including bathrooms and the laundry room—become opportunities for more expressive moments of color and personality. Custom built-in cabinetry is woven throughout the home, serving as both a functional element and a defining part of the design. Carefully integrated into each space, the millwork adds warmth, storage, and visual continuity, reinforcing the home’s clean architectural language while giving each room its own distinct character.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen was designed to maximize space while creating distinct zones for cooking, prep, storage, and gathering. Warm wood and white cabinetry are layered together to bring warmth and dimension to the clean, contemporary style. Slab-front doors keep the composition modern, while lightly veined stone and black accents, from hardware to lighting, add contrast and definition. The result is a kitchen that feels modern, inviting and functional.
Moments of Color
n contrast to the light, open palette of the main living spaces, the bathrooms offered an opportunity to introduce richer color and texture. Walnut cabinetry brings warmth, while deep blue and textured tiles give each space its own distinct character. Black hardware and plumbing fixtures provide a crisp counterpoint, tying these more expressive rooms back to the home’s contemporary material palette.
A Private Retreat
