The word luxury means something different to everyone. For some, it’s a long weekend getting pampered at a spa or finally getting the perfectly tailored suit. For Georgetown Development, luxury is a custom home that pulls out all the stops. From the attic to the basement, the floor boards to the ceiling fixtures, a luxury custom home showcases the best in home design in an expertly crafted layout.

Check out some of the new luxury items that are making their way into homes across the country. This list, created by Builder magazine features some of the newest innovations for the kitchen, bath and every room in-between. From a free standing tub from Hansgrohe to almost invisible wall outlets by Dana Innovations, luxury in 2011 will be like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Not only are these items guaranteed to make any home shine, many of them are made from recycled products and are eco-friendly.

There you are, driving down the street in Bethesda, MD or McLean, VA and you see one home that just looks a little out of place, something is different, but you can’t quite put your finger on what it is. What makes that home look different? Solar panels on the roof!

More and more homes today are having solar panels installed and the government is finally taking notice. The growing demand for solar panels on residential homes has forced Congress to look into a climate legislation that includes a provision that, if passed, could make it financially more feasible for solar system suppliers and their business partners—including builders—to extend lower-cost leasing options to homeowners.

At Georgetown Development, we are committed to providing our clients with the latest in sustainable home design. From using recycled products to helping you with a luxury home design that’s also energy-efficient.

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.
