We’re really proud of the fact that three of our design and build
projects have been nominated for the prestigious
Montgomery County Builders Association Home of the Year Awards.
These nominations are based on design quality and building
craftsmanship and execution of architectural details.

The first project that is nominated is a one story addition to a home on Arrowood
Road in Bethesda. The home backs to the Burning Tree Country Club Golf Course.

Country Casual Bethesda Home Addition Nominated For MCBA Award

Another project nominated is a large addition and whole house renovation of a
log home originally constructed in the 1920s.

Kinda strange, but this home is also on a golf course – Manor Country Club
Golf Course. The views are outstanding and after our addition and renovation
project the owners are now able to enjoy views from about every room in the
home – Imagine views of the beautiful pond at the 11th hole, gently rolling
hills and nothing but green as your cooking dinner and entertaining your
guests gazing through a 20 foot tall wall-o-glass in the kitchen-family
room. It’s really quite a view! Take a look at the second photo below.

Many of you came to visit us at this home in October when we had
an open house event and gave tours. We had over 200 people at the
open house and we’re planning another event sometime in the spring
since we promised we’d show the home again to about 20 people
that missed the tour of this really unique and interesting project.

Rockville Home Addition With Killer Golf Course Views

And the last project nominated (not on a golf course)
is a new custom designed Arts and Crafts home in
North Arlington. Here are more photos of this home

This is another project that lots of you stopped by to visit
when we had a two day open house event a few months ago.
Are you beginning to see that not only do the homeowners
enjoy their homes, but I think I get as much fun out of showing them
off as the owners do?

So much fun in fact that (as you may have heard) we’re
building a few model homes around town and should be
breaking ground in the coming weeks on a few (more on that later).

Stay tuned for more breathtaking photos of these award nominated
projects.

And for any of you that missed our open houses and have called asking
to get on our VIP private tour list of homes currently under construction
(new home in Falls Church, new homes in Bethesda, additions in Bethesda,
additions in Silver Spring, new home in McLean).

Arlington Arts and Crafts Custom Home Nominated For Award

The Singleton New Home Plan.

Features 1st floor master suite and three bedrooms up,
this can change to 4 or 2.

Here is the house plan:

Semi-Custom Home Plan With 1st Floor Master Suite

New Home Plan Coming In Spring 2011 Semi-Custom Series

2nd Floor of This New Home Prototype Could Have Several 2nd Floor Plan Optional Layouts

This new home plan appeals to a growing portion of our Washington DC market, which
according to our research, is requesting 1st floor master suites more now than in prior years.

This plan prototype may be selected for our spring 2011 semi-custom home launch.

Please make comments below and let us know what you like or don’t like about this
plan. And as always, we want to hear your suggestions for new home plans
that you’d like to see.

We’re launching a new semi-custom line of homes this spring.
This new line of homes will include a foundation of eight
award winning new homes previously built.

We’ll be adding several new home plan styles to our foundation of eight,
that our market research has indicated, the Washington DC market is
demanding.

The new home designs coming out in the spring
will be the result of focus group studies and
interviews with our clients and home building prospects
we have been conducting the last several months
and are ongoing over the next few months.

To give you a hint of what our
research has shown (it’s not
what you think), here is a peak of one of the new home
plans Kevin, our architect, is creating:

Here is one of many new home plans we are designing now for our new Semi-Custom home line coming out in the Spring 2011

We’ve had a large demand for first floor master suite homes and homes
with just one floor. So we are in the process of designing several home
plan prototypes.

If you’d like to be included in any of our studies (and possibly our model home
program). Send an email to info@paramountconstruction.net.

I’d appreciate it if you let me know below what you like or don’t like about this
floor plan. And if you have any suggestions that you’d like to see added.
Also, do you have any suggestions on new home plans that you’d like to
see in the future, please comment below.

We’re excited that another one of our award winning new home
plans (winner MNCBIA Best Home of The Year Award) will soon be under construction
in the heart of Bethesda. The building permit should be ready any day now.

Take a look at the lot on Cayuga Avenue and the existing house that will soon come down:

New Colonial style home plan: The Landon:

The Landon – Colonial Style New Home Plan

This home is proposed for a building lot in Potomac Maryland.

Here is a brand new custom home plan designed especially
for a shallow small lot. This is a great home plan for a two
or three person household, yet we have options to expand
this home plan to add rooms for a larger household.
This is new home plan is also ideal for shallow lots
and for home building lots that slope
front to back with a walk out basement.

New Home Plan Designed for a Bethesda Homeowner - The Cabin John

Matching brick on a home renovation or an addition to a home
is always one of the questions we get asked by homeowners.

And rightfully so. After all, one of the tell-tale signs of a crudely
built addition to a house is matching old materials with new
materials.

Here is a home in Bethesda which the new brick on the rear kitchen
addition matched the over 15 year old original brick almost
perfectly (of course it always helps if the brick is still being
manufactured).

Who says brick can't be matched?

Can you tell the difference in the brick? Which is new and which is old?
