The Story

The Vision Behind This Project

The Challenge

The W Mt Ida Avenue project brought a thoughtful renovation to a Northern Virginia home, with MOSS Building & Design guiding the work from initial design concept through final finishes.

The Approach

The scope centered on a carefully coordinated interior and exterior transformation — one that balanced structural updates with refined material selections to create a cohesive, livable result. Early in the process, the team locked in a design concept set built around 24x42 casement windows and a revised interior partition wall accommodating the HVAC unit, establishing a clear architectural vision before construction began.

The Result

On the exterior, the project addressed the home's dormers and chimney with equal attention to detail. New casement windows replaced aging dormer units, and the chimney received a full re-caulking along both sides from foundation to roofline — the kind of envelope work that protects a home for years to come. Inside, the renovation touched flooring, countertops, lighting, and stair railing, each selection chosen to complement the overall design direction. Recessed lighting throughout kept the ceiling plane clean and uninterrupted, while updated flooring and a metal backsplash added character and warmth to the finished spaces.
