Location: McLean, VA, USA AV Architects + Builders Our clients were looking for a new kitchen that would connect to the outside patio and pool area. We helped change the both the look and feel of the kitchen, adding in an 8 foot hallway that allowed us to open up the back of the house and let in natural light. The tile back-splash in the kitchen mimics the brick around the existing fireplace maintained in the kitchen. Higher ceilings were the final addition to make the new design whole and give our clients the open dining and entertaining area they were looking for.
