JUNE 17, 2016—The Baltimore-Washington Chapter of the National Kitchen & Bath Association celebrated the NKBA’s 50th anniversary with a masquerade ball at the Top of the Town in Arlington. Guests enjoyed dramatic views of Washington landmarks across the Potomac River.
JUNE 21, 2016—Home & Design celebrated the launch of its July/August 2016 Designers’ Issue at T.W. Perry’s Silver Spring location. Attendees perused the latest in high-end building materials throughout the inviting new showroom and mingled over drinks and appetizers.
When designing a waterfront project near Annapolis, landscape architect Robert Hruby created an elliptical, infinity-edge pool that appears to flow seamlessly toward the Severn River and the Route 50 Bridge. “I wanted it to be a jewel,” Hruby says, describing the pool as “a dish of water in the landscape, reflecting the sky and distant views of the Annapolis waterfront.”
Landscape Architecture: Robert C. Hruby, ASLA, Campion Hruby Landscape Architects, Annapolis, Maryland.

For more than 40 years, Royal Building Products’ commitment to quality, innovation and customer relationships has attracted the loyalty of a growing number of building professionals, homeowners, architects, engineers and distributors. The company continually strives to provide superior solutions that will meet the needs of today’s homeowners. Celect® Cellular Exteriors by Royal® is an example of an intelligent design solution to several major problems that have plagued homeowners for decades: aesthetics, durability and long-term maintenance. It’s a cladding solution made from cellular PVC, an innovative cellular technology that has the working characteristics of wood. Celect Siding and Trim prevent air and moisture penetration and will not rot, crack or peel. Instead of butting together like typical siding, they snap together with a patented, interlocking joint system for a seamless design. And the unique gravity-lock design keeps courses locked tightly to each other—maintaining structural integrity even under the harshest weather conditions.

Kevin O’Neill and his wife Carol started Great American Landscapes in 1984, armed with Master’s degrees in landscape design from George Washington University. Customer by customer, they have built a company culture committed to consistently delivering superior products and services with a personal touch. More than 75 percent of their business comes from referrals and repeat customers—a testament to the company’s extraordinary level of customer service. “At Great American, our focus is you,” O’Neill says. “We are far more interested in getting to know you and what you want than we are in telling you about us. That is our difference.”
Today, Great American Landscapes is a full-service, design, build and maintenance company serving the Washington Metro area. No job is too big or too small. The company recently won a 2014 Landscape Contractor Association Grand Award for Residential Maintenance of a property in Northern Virginia.

McHale Landscape Design was founded in 1981 by brothers Kevin and Stephen McHale, who share a lifelong love of landscaping and the outdoors. From the beginning, both had the passion and determination to build a business. “Our goal is to be the single source for anything design-build on a residential property,” says Kevin. “We provide quality goods, services, and value through the implementation of the design-build philosophy and our creative, sustainable designs.”
Before embarking on a project, the McHale team observes clients’ outdoor-living habits to ensure the design reflects their needs. “A design is only successful if it improves the client’s life,” explains Stephen.
McHale handles carpentry and masonry in-house, which allows control over scheduling, pricing, and quality. The brothers pride themselves on hiring great people. “We have a very little turnover and clients trust us,” says Kevin. “Quality design and craftsmanship lead clients to us, but trust and confidence make them clients for life.”
