About This Project

Elevated Green Living represents a remarkable transformation of a formerly tired 1980s split-level home in Cheverly, MD, into a vibrant, functional sanctuary for a family of five. This renovation prioritized maximizing the existing footprint while enhancing both aesthetics and energy efficiency. The design process focused on creating a light-filled primary suite that serves as a serene retreat, alongside expanding gathering spaces that encourage family interaction and entertainment. The careful selection of sustainable materials and innovative building practices helped achieve Gold Certification through the National Green Building Standard, showcasing a commitment to environmental responsibility. The project addressed several critical challenges posed by the original layout, which featured cramped, disconnected rooms and an outdated building envelope. By reconfiguring the interior, the renovation introduced an open-concept design that flows seamlessly from the living spaces to the dining area, fostering a sense of unity. The addition of strategically placed windows and skylights not only enhances natural light but also connects the interior with the surrounding green landscape, effectively creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor living experience. Craftsmanship played a pivotal role in this renovation, with skilled artisans employed to ensure that every detail reflected the family’s desire for modern comfort infused with eclectic charm. The choice of finishes—from reclaimed wood accents to energy-efficient appliances—highlights a commitment to quality and sustainability. Furthermore, the relocation of the laundry area to a more functional space greatly improved the home's usability, aligning with the needs of a growing family. The final outcome is a beautifully functional home that balances modern amenities with a respect for the environment, offering a green sanctuary where comfort, style, and practicality coexist. Elevated Green Living not only meets the evolving needs of its inhabitants but also stands as a testament to thoughtful design and innovative renovation.
