Getting ready for gathering, this renovation included replacing two back-to-back wood fireplaces and one shin-buster hearth with this sleek double sided gas unit. Replacing the raised hearth that ran the length of the room in favor of a flush one added almost 3' to the width, making furnishing so much easier! This fireplace unit is big and routing the flue up and out was a challenge, to say the least! But its opening works with both wood mantles, including a beautiful, inherited hand-carved piece.

Demolition continues and new foundation walls are poured at the Collingwood on the Potomac project. This is the phase "it's always darkest before the dawn". It's messy and can be discouraging but it's the start of good things to come!

To ADU or not ADU? We work with a lot of clients to determine if creating a separate, Accessory Dwelling Unit at the time of renovations is worth pursuing. In some cases, creating a master plan and laying the ground work for a future conversion, leaves that option open. In this case, the timing of a whole house renovation, coupled with Alexandria City's newly revamped zoning requirements, meant the perfect move to add a full, two bedroom ADU on the lower level.

This project from 2020 is coming back online. Many times, life just gets in the way and things need to be put on hold. We're glad to see when things start moving forward again!
