Washington, DC

The District

The capital’s most prestigious residential and commercial interiors

Washington, DC is where Arch & Handle was founded and where our most ambitious work has been realized. From landmark lobby transformations in luxury residential towers to private residences in Georgetown and Kalorama, we understand DC’s distinct architectural character and its residents’ expectations for quality.

The city’s density and architectural variety — Federal rowhouses alongside modernist high-rises alongside Beaux-Arts institutions — demands a design intelligence that can calibrate to context without compromising craft.

Montgomery County, MD

Bethesda & Chevy Chase

Maryland’s most sought-after residential addresses

The grand single-family homes and luxury condominiums of Bethesda and Chevy Chase demand an interior language that matches their scale — generous proportions, curated material palettes, and the kind of considered detail that only reveals itself over time.

We’ve worked across the full housing spectrum in this area: historic estates undergoing sensitive renovation, new-build luxury homes seeking a designed-in sense of permanence, and high-specification condominium interiors that must perform at a hospitality level.

Upper Montgomery County, MD

Potomac & Rockville

Maryland’s estate country, designed to endure

Potomac’s estate residences represent some of the most demanding briefs we encounter — large formats, complex programs, and clients whose expectations for quality have been shaped by decades of discernment. The scale of these projects demands a different kind of coordination: custom stone programs, bespoke joinery, and integrated systems that require months, not weeks, of planning.

Rockville and its surrounding communities offer a contrasting typology — excellent bones, strong bones, and significant opportunity to bring genuinely considered interior design to residences that have outgrown their original finishes.

Neighborhoods & Communities

Northern Virginia

Arlington & McLean

Virginia’s premier residential corridor

The Northern Virginia corridor from McLean to Arlington has become one of the most competitive luxury residential markets in the country, driven by proximity to the District and a high-calibre professional population with significant expectations for their homes.

McLean’s estate-scale properties sit alongside Arlington’s sophisticated urban condominium market — two typologies that share the same standard for quality and the same impatience with interior design that merely looks good on photography.

Alexandria, VA

Alexandria & Old Town

Historic character, contemporary precision

Alexandria’s historic fabric demands a particular sensitivity — materials and details that respect the architectural context while introducing a contemporary interior language that functions for how people actually live today. Old Town’s Federal and Victorian streetscapes provide some of the most beautiful raw material an interior designer can work with.

We approach historic Alexandria projects with an archaeologist’s respect for what exists and a designer’s confidence about what should be added. The result is interiors that feel like they have always been there — and always will be.

Loudoun County, VA

Great Falls & Loudoun County

Virginia’s estate and equestrian country

The expansive estates and new-build luxury homes of western Loudoun County offer some of the most ambitious interior design opportunities in the region — large sites, generous programs, and clients who prioritize craft and longevity above trend. Great Falls, in particular, is home to some of the most significant residential commissions we have undertaken.

From Reston’s urban density to the pastoral scale of Middleburg and Leesburg, we bring the same material intelligence and design rigour regardless of geography. Distance from the District has never diluted the quality of work our clients expect — or that we deliver.
