Davis Court is a newly constructed residence that masterfully combines modern luxury with timeless design principles. The home’s architecture emphasizes clean lines and open spaces, with floor-to-ceiling windows that draw in abundant natural light, creating a seamless connection between the interior and exterior. High-end finishes, bespoke details, and a carefully curated material palette add layers of sophistication to the space. This project by ZEE Design stands as a testament to thoughtful design, where every element is crafted to enhance both aesthetic appeal and functional living.

The current home is the result of a gut renovation of a mid-century raised ranch. The original plan included a main level with 3 small bedrooms and a small, enclosed kitchen. The kitchen is now fully open, allowing access and views to the main deck. There is a new primary bedroom suite and an open den/office in place of the 3 original bedrooms.

The metaphoric name is “The Tree House”. It is 4 stories tall and does not touch the ground except for 2 large columns and steel rods that hold them into place. It is all made of copper and glass with a glass bridge into the green front exploding inside with an endless view of glass overlooking streams and trees. Inside is 100% wood on floors, walls, and ceilings. It is pure ecology mixed with metaphor and award-winning modernity.

“My Little Forest” is a modern building that embraces transparency, allowing the vibrant rhythms of the forest to flow through its every space. As the forest across from it changes with the seasons, the house seems to sing in harmony, reflecting the sunlight, swaying with the wind, and welcoming the gentle touch of rain. Natural elements like wood, stone, and greenery are woven into the design, ensuring that nature is always a part of the living experience. The open floor plan allows sunlight, shadows, and the sounds of birds and rustling leaves to become essential features of the home, while a minimalist structure gives way to the ever-changing beauty of the surrounding landscape. “My Little Forest” feels alive, as though it dances with the forest it so intimately observes.

Discover the perfect fusion of historic charm and contemporary design featuring a thoughtful transformation of a 1928 Tudor-style home. Originally brimming with classic charm, this timeless residence was reimagined to meet the functional demands of a growing family while preserving its historic essence.
The new three-story expansion seamlessly integrates with the original structure, celebrating both tradition and modernity. Designed with a keen eye for functionality and aesthetics, the addition features:
- Expansive Views: Large, strategically placed windows frame picturesque westward vista, bringing an abundance of natural light into the heart of the home.
- Innovative Layout: An articulated open plan blends the kitchen, living, and dining areas, creating a fluid, connected space ideal for both intimate gatherings and entertaining.
- Harmonious Integration: The new addition complements the historic Tudor style while embracing contemporary needs. The second floor in particular showcases some of the original traditional features which were preserved and enhanced during the remodel.

Alair Homes
Modern influence in a more traditional mid-Atlantic home. This home is essentially new construction. Only a portion of the foundation was kept in order to work around county set back requirements. The entire basement floor was lowered several feet to provide 10 foot ceilings, and everything above is new including framing, electrical, plumbing and HVAC. Fantastic level of finish, each bathroom and living space unique.
