Multi-generational homes are becoming more and more popular. When our homeowners in Fairfax needed a space for Gramma they contacted TCB to build an in-law suite addition. The project also involved remodeling the interior of the existing home to add an additional bedroom for the kids and updating the kitchen for the entire family to enjoy.

We came up with a plan to bump out the front of the home to accommodate a second master suite with full bath, sitting area and walk-in closet. The separate entrance, conveniently located next to the front door, provides privacy and independence.

Next, we reconfigured the basement to add a bedroom and remodeled the existing bathroom. Custom maple wood grain cabinets were selected for the vanity and wall cabinet. An artic White quartz countertop with 4" backsplash, under-mount white sink and polished chrome fixtures compliment this neutral palette. For the wainscoting wall and tub tile 3 x 12 beveled light grey "mist" tile was chosen with a custom glass tub enclosure. Polished grey 12 x 24 plank floor tiles brings the whole look together.

In the kitchen, the goal was to create a more open layout for the growing family. White shaker painted white custom cabinets helped to transform this dated kitchen. The grey, leathered granite countertop offers style and a unique textured finish. For the full backsplash, 3 x 6 grey ceramic pumice tile was selected. A freestanding cabinet with bench houses the refrigerator and serves as a utility closet and drop zone. A pantry was created next to the existing fireplace with a custom broad shaker maple morel built-in cabinet.
