Located in Vienna, Virginia, Project Laurel Ridge by Monarch Custom Homes is a sophisticated example of modern contemporary architecture, balancing bold geometry with refined materials and warm, livable design.
The home’s exterior showcases a clean composition of medium-sand Snowball stucco and white trim boards paired with black windows, gutters, and fascia for striking contrast. The Virginia Slate dark-gray shingle roof anchors the design, while the stained main door with frosted glass sidelights and brushed nickel hardware create a refined, inviting entry.
Bluestone porch flooring, Island Mist Trex decking, and vertical black metal railings extend the modern aesthetic into the outdoor living spaces. Subtle soffit lighting and frosted-glass garage doors framed in white trim enhance the home’s nighttime architectural presence, combining minimalism with warmth.
Inside, the design celebrates open, bright living spaces and luxurious simplicity. The family room features a double-sided 60-inch linear fireplace framed in White polished tile, complemented by glossy black quartz shelving and LED accent lighting. The owner’s suite fireplace echoes this theme with Sculpture Veneto polished tiles, creating continuity through texture and tone.
The kitchen combines sleek functionality and style with dark anthracite high-gloss slab cabinetry, Calacatta Gold countertops, full-height backsplash, and Dacor Professional appliances in matte black. A single pendant fixture and integrated LED undercabinet lighting enhance the home’s modern ambiance.
Throughout the home, prefinished hardwood flooring unites the main and upper levels, while the basement features LVT flooring that mirrors the tone and texture of the hardwood. The staircase pairs dark wood risers and treads with black metal railings, forming a sculptural centerpiece.
Each bathroom continues the modern aesthetic with floating glossy vanities, white quartz countertops, and frameless glass showers. The primary bathroom stands out with brass fixtures, honed Serendra Luna wall tiles, and a freestanding tub, creating a spa-like retreat. Secondary baths use Concrete look Gray and Mist tiles, adding a subtle industrial texture to the clean palette.
In the basement, a wet bar with dark slab cabinetry and Calacatta Gold surfaces complements the home’s elegant, cohesive design language.
Project Laurel Ridge embodies Monarch’s commitment to contemporary luxury, a home where precision and warmth intersect to create timeless modern living.
