Residential Primary Suite

Lower Level Primary Suite I Arlington, VA

Project Overview

Designed with long-term comfort and flexibility in mind, this lower-level primary suite remodel in Arlington, VA allows the homeowners to confidently plan for their golden years while continuing to host large family gatherings with ease. By adding a fully appointed primary suite on the lower level, the home now supports aging in place without sacrificing style or function.

The primary bathroom was thoughtfully designed to prioritize accessibility and everyday luxury. A curbless shower creates a seamless, spa-like experience, complemented by glossy white 4×16 ceramic subway tile installed in a classic half running bond pattern. A penny round mosaic accent in a Thunderstorm finish adds subtle contrast and texture, wrapping the shower niche and continuing around the space at a consistent width for a cohesive, tailored look.

Brushed nickel plumbing fixtures bring a refined, timeless feel to the space. The Proflo Willett single-hole faucet and coordinating Willett shower trim kit balance clean lines with warm metallic tones, enhancing both durability and visual appeal.

A custom sauna completes the retreat, transforming the lower-level primary suite into a wellness-focused escape that supports relaxation, recovery, and overall well-being. The result is a versatile and inviting suite that blends thoughtful planning, elegant finishes, and future-ready design—perfectly suited to this Arlington home.

Undertaking a major renovation during a pandemic seemed unthinkable but Craig D. from Sun Design assured us that strict safety protocols were in place and would be followed closely by everyone involved in our project and by all workers entering our home. We delayed the start for several months during the early part of the Covid-19 outbreak which actually enabled us to refocus our priorities and to redefine the project, with a shift to make “aging in place” in our upstairs living quarters a top priority in addition to totally renovating our lower level to accommodate our large family gatherings. The project was completed in just under 6 months, on time and on budget. Sun Design exceeded our expectations! They are truly committed to excellence from the top down. In addition to their strong leadership, as displayed to us by Craig, the strengths of Sun Design include 1) an outstanding design team - Chris and Jenny - who consistently provided excellent choices within our budget based on our “inspirations” - Houzz was a helpful source for these. The design team listened carefully to determine our needs and desires and they demonstrated great flexibility and patience during the entire process. 2) We also had a dedicated and competent project manager in Jack who kept the trades on schedule and accountable and we were able to see the weekly/monthly schedule, the payment schedule and our progress with photos via an online portal that Jack updated regularly. 3) The excellence and professionalism of all the trades that visited our home during the project were above par. Sun Design has a collaborative relationship with these professionals most of which they have worked with for years so trust in all of them came easily. 4) in addition to the excellent work there is a 3-year warranty. We met the people from the warranty department at the final walk through and a “checkup” visit for minor maintenance was scheduled for 3 months later. Bob and I absolutely love our new living spaces - thank you, Sun Design for a long-time dream come true!
