Contemporary Washington, DC Condominium Renovation BOWA - Design Build Experts Modern living room

HOMEOWNER CHALLENGE: The primary challenge of this condominium renovation was to transform what had once been two units into an optimized, light-filled single space with a contemporary design and incredible river views. The client could see the potential, but the realities of fixed plumbing, electric and structural column locations – all seemingly immovable obstacles in the wrong places – were daunting.

THE BOWA SOLUTION: BOWA and the client executed an extensive forensic study of the original building plans to gauge feasibility. In the process, a plan was created that prioritized optimizing the beautiful river views. During the renovation phase, plumbing, electrical, fireplace flues, gas lines, and communication systems were located and re-routed, and walls were removed to allow the open plan to come to fruition. All the materials and finishes were pre-selected, allowing BOWA to provide the client with a fixed price contract and firm production schedule prior to commencement. All of this was done in a prestigious, occupied building while maintaining an exceptional relationship with the building management and neighbors.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS:
Extensive maple millwork and glass, designed to be light and functional, separates living spaces and minimizes the need for walls
All existing and new walls were insulated to aid in sound buffering
Master bath features curbless shower with linear drain and lighted panels
5-inch rift and quartered, sand-in-place FSC engineered maple floors throughout
