During a home’s conception phase, Georgetown Development is always working to come up with innovative designs utilizing materials that will not only meet a homeowner’s vision, but also create a living space that’s unique. For many homeowners in the Washington DC metro area, green design is a hot topic and many of our customers are looking to use products that combine green materials with design.

Today’s market is full of options when it comes to eco-friendly natural wood, so when we came across this new flooring from We Cork, we were excited to incorporate this material into our next custom home. We Cork’s Eco-Nomical series is a premium glueless floating floor, made with recycled wine stoppers. Like other cork flooring, it’s durable, sound absorbing and most importantly, comfortable under foot. Availble in four colors, We Cork’s Eco-Nomical series is easy to install and adds a sustainable element to any home

Everyone has their favorite room in a home. For some, it’s the living room, for some the bathroom and for many, especially in the DC Metro area, it’s the kitchen. At Georgetown Development, we’re always looking at new and innovative ways to update kitchens of any size so we’re always full of ideas when our clients ask us “what would you do with this space?”

One item we love that is guaranteed to knock the socks off of any foodie in your home is this electric drop-in induction cooktop from Electrolux. The cooktop’s Infinite cooking system creates heat only after sensing a pan on the surface. Not only that, but the surface responds only to the diameter of the pot or pan that’s been placed on the cooktop. Other features include Power-Assist, which provides a 25 percent increase in power to bring large pots to boil faster, and 15 preset touch settings for digital heat control.

We love Electrolux’s sleek design and at Georgetown Development, we can help you deisgn your new custom kitchen around this innovative product or any other product you’ve got your eye on this holiday season.

It’s summer in Washington, DC so you know what that means; heat, humidity and a nice cool shower. But with new Water Sense guidelines from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are your cold showers coming to an end?

As water conservation becomes increasingly more important for many areas across the U.S., and because showering accounts for approximately 17 percent of residential indoor water use, low-flow showerheads (or other conservation-minded plumbing products, for that matter) are not going away.

So, does this mean that your high-blast shower has to come to an end? Not necessarily. Click here to view some new, water saving shower heads from manufacturers all over the world. At Georgetown Development, we understand how important it is not only to install products that compliment each home design but are also in compliance with DC regulations.
