Lucy Lane
In the heart of McLean, VA, Lucy Lane stands as a testament to the blend of elegance and playfulness. Designed for a vibrant family of four and their four fluffy dogs, this custom-built Craftsman home caters to their active lifestyle while providing serene spaces for rest and focus. With both parents often on the road for demanding jobs, the home needed to be a sanctuary that balances their busy lives.
From the outset, the Lucy Lane project focused on marrying sophistication with a dash of whimsy.
One of the standout features is the dining room ceiling, adorned with a plaster finish that adds a touch of grandeur and elevates the entire space. Custom built-ins throughout the home not only provide practical storage solutions but also enhance its timeless appeal.
The playful wallpaper in the butler’s pantry offers a delightful contrast to the home’s overall elegant aesthetic, showcasing the family’s simple yet refined tastes.
Creating functional workspaces for the entire family was a key challenge. We crafted dedicated areas that support productivity without sacrificing the home’s cohesive flow. The basement, for example, serves both adults and children, featuring a sophisticated bar that captures the husband’s desire for a luxurious space without being ostentatious.
The design choices for Lucy Lane aim to evoke a sense of classic charm and timelessness, with just enough quirkiness to keep it inviting and fun. Our goal was for the family to experience a range of emotions as they move through their home, but above all, to feel that they had truly come home.
