Located in McLean, Virginia, Project Dulany designed & built by Monarch Custom Homes is a bold expression of modern contemporary luxury architecture, where clean geometry, symmetry, and natural materials converge to create a truly iconic residence.
The home is designed on a slab-on-grade foundation with no basement, emphasizing horizontal flow and a strong connection to its landscape. The exterior embodies ultra-modern minimalism, with flat rooflines, bold structural symmetry, and expansive glass façades that invite natural light throughout. Smooth stucco walls, black metal roofing, and warm wood columns create a rich material balance, while soffit lighting and precise landscape design accentuate the home’s sculptural silhouette, day and night.
Inside, the architecture celebrates volume, proportion, and light. The grand foyer opens into soaring double-height spaces with an indoor garden framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and clean, uninterrupted sightlines. A floating staircase and open-concept layout create a continuous visual rhythm, enhancing the sense of scale and openness afforded by the slab foundation. Polished tile floors, integrated lighting, and sleek modern detailing define the minimalist luxury aesthetic.
The kitchen pairs contemporary cabinetry with dark quartz and brass accents, while the living and dining areas feature custom bookmatched marble walls and architectural shelving that express refined craftsmanship. Bathrooms carry the same design language, blending floating vanities, marble-look surfaces, and frameless glass for a serene, spa-like experience.
Project Dulany stands as a testament to Monarch’s pursuit of architectural excellence a modern contemporay masterpiece grounded in simplicity, light, and proportion.
