Located in McLean, Virginia, Project Falstaff by Monarch Custom Homes is a sophisticated expression of modern contemporary architecture, balancing clean geometry, warm textures, and timeless organic details. Designed for both elegance and livability, this residence exemplifies Monarch’s signature approach to refined modern living.
The home’s façade features fine-sand stucco White Dove by Benjamin Moore, accented by Hardie panels with seamless T-shaped channels for architectural rhythm. Black Andersen casement windows, Carbon Black garage doors, and wrapped white columns create a bold contrast against the soft stucco finish. A stained Milan front door with matte black hardware provides a warm focal point, complemented by broom-finished concrete porches and Island Mist Trex decking with modern black metal railings.
Subtle exterior lighting and soffit fixtures enhance the home’s sculptural form, while metal roofing in Rustic Black adds depth and definition to its clean silhouette.
Inside, the design blends natural materials and contemporary detail for a bright, inviting organic atmosphere. Walls in Swiss Coffee Benjamin Moore create a soft, luminous backdrop, paired with white oak hardwood floors and rectangular baseboards for a refined modern finish. The staircase, crafted from white oak treads and wood handrails with black metal balusters, acts as a sculptural centerpiece connecting the main and upper levels.
The kitchen showcases cabinetry, quartz countertop with full backsplash, and matte black hardware, illuminated by elegant Elliot pendants. The living room fireplace, is framed by minimalist drywall detailing, creating a sleek and balanced focal point.
Each bathroom is thoughtfully curated with floating slab vanities, quartz countertops, and frameless glass enclosures, blending elegance with function. The owner’s suite highlights wall-mounted faucets, quartz surfaces, and soft lighting for a spa-like atmosphere. Secondary spaces, including the wet bar, media room, and exercise room, continue the home’s modern design language with dark accents and ambient lighting.
