Transitional Home in McLean VA,

Client: Developer

Service Provided: Architectural Design, Building Permit

Located in McLean, VA, this +/-10,000 SF home was designed as an elegant, double-gabled transitional residence, with expansive windows at the front and rear to maximize natural light and views. A stone-clad entrance serves as a striking focal point, offering a beautiful and welcoming entry to the home.

The first floor features a dramatic double-height foyer, framed with floor-to-ceiling glass and anchored by a sculptural staircase leading to the second level. Additional highlights include a 3-car garage, an elevator, a home office, a spacious mudroom, and a great room at the rear of the house. The open-concept kitchen—complete with a butler’s pantry and walk-in pantry—flows seamlessly into the family room. Large windows and sliding doors connect this space to a generous deck with a modern pergola, creating strong indoor-outdoor connections. A flexible room with a full bathroom at the back of the house can serve as a guest bedroom or library.

Upstairs, the second floor includes four en-suite bedrooms, including a generous primary suite with a large walk-in closet and a spacious primary bathroom. A cozy family room sits just off the main stair, offering a casual gathering space.

The walk-out basement includes a large great room with a kitchenette and additional family room that opens to a covered patio beneath the main-level deck. This level also includes a guest bedroom, a movie theater, and a gym.

Thoughtfully designed for modern living, this home blends timeless elegance with contemporary function, offering comfort, flexibility, and refined architectural detail throughout.
