A couple downsizing from a single-family home to a Reston condo decided to take the interiors of their new aerie in a playful direction. Namely, the avid fans of “Only Murders in the Building” wanted to replicate the exuberant, emerald green kitchen belonging to Steve Martin’s character on the popular Hulu show.

The owners tapped BOWA and architect TJ Monahan of Designed Happy to make their vision a reality. “It was great to have clients who wanted to push the boundaries, and I knew that BOWA would be able to execute the design,” notes Monahan. Lacquered cabinets were fabricated in a custom shade of green and trimmed in brushed brass. And BOWA discovered tile by Mirth Studio to match the show’s patchwork mosaic. The team selected Bianco Superiore quartzite for the countertops and backsplash; a built-in hood is concealed above the JennAir cooktop.

BOWA’s Kristin Ikenson spearheaded the makeover, which not only transformed the dated kitchen but also reimagined the apartment’s three bedrooms and upgraded the living area with a dramatic accent wall. Centered on a vapor fireplace, it’s framed in Fuchsite Green quartzite, echoing the adjacent kitchen’s signature palette. Despite the challenges of working in a condo building, she reflects, “the result is a sophisticated and functional home that embodies the homeowners’ style.”
