Award One - Home Addition

$260,000 - $400,000

McMillan Design Build managed to artfully marry a contemporary living space to a 1940’s brick bungalow in Chantilly. The addition preserved the home’s front elevation, and hence the neighborhood’s traditional streetscape. ‍

The delightful surprise of a 1,000-square-foot contemporary addition crafted from Green Glazed Brick and featuring a cantilevered rear porch is just barely visible from the street. ‍

A white EPDM insulated flat roof and storefront anodized windows add to the space’s modern look. The design allowed for the addition of two bedrooms, a full bath, utility room and a graciously sized and colorful playroom complete with extensive built-in shelving to lift toys and games up off the floor. ‍

The addition incorporated the sustainable, durable and environmentally friendly building practices and design elements for which McMillan Design Build is known.

Award Two - General Home Renovation

$160,000 - $240,000

The Interior Renovation project consisted of updating the appearance and functionality of a home with “good bones” for a growing family. ‍

Unnecessary hallway space was eliminated, the master bath and closet were reconfigured, a powder room was up-fit, a study with pocket doors was created, and the kitchen was updated to include an AGA stove, butcher block top and a space-saving children’s swing-up table. ‍‍

Universal design features like expanded door frames, a graciously sized walk-in shower, custom lighting design and access-friendly faucets ensure this project will function well for years to come.

Best Full Home Remodel Under $500k

This authentic 100-year-old farm house was designed with barrier-free entries in mind, only adding 200 feet of additional building structure. McMillan created two primary suites and some much needed updates to enjoy the views and comfort available. Now, there’s much more livable usable space and the clients love the authentic, untrendy designs that pay respect to the original 1900’s look.
