Inside a Modern McLean Retreat: Natural Light, Clean Lines, and Floating Vanities

Just outside Washington, D.C., in the sought-after 22102 zip code of McLean, Virginia, this modern home is a stunning example of architectural balance. Surrounded by trees yet fully open to natural light, it blends contemporary minimalism with a sense of warmth and flow. And within its serene bathrooms, our floating vanities add a refined, functional touch that perfectly fits the space.

A Home Designed for Light, Texture, and Clarity

From the front elevation to the interior layout, this home is all about clean geometry, thoughtful lines, and an effortless flow between spaces. Wide-plank flooring, soft white walls, and black window framing create a gallery-like setting for daily living. Large-scale glass doors and paneling invite nature in, making every room feel open and connected to its surroundings.

Vanities That Match the Mood

To complement this design-forward home, the client chose three distinct floating vanity models—each carefully placed to match the look and function of its space:

  • Monterey Modern Vanity in Cement Gray
    Sleek and refined, this vanity pairs beautifully with soft-toned stone tiles and matte black fixtures. Its minimal aesthetic adds subtle depth without distraction.
  • Merce Floating Vanity in Canyon Oak
    With its natural wood tone and clean edge design, this vanity brings a warm organic texture to the bathroom. The Canyon Oak finish is perfect for softening modern architecture.
  • Saggia Floating Vanity in Gray Oak
    Bold and elegant, the Saggia vanity adds a modern statement with its strong lines and elevated finish. It grounds the bathroom with confidence while offering everyday practicality.

Each piece was selected not just for its look but for how it enhances the overall experience of the space.
