Kitchen and Great Room

Conceived as a nexus for everyday living, our design for the living room was purpose driven. Paired architecturally with the kitchen, we created a triumvirate of usable spaces- cooking, dining/studying, and living areas- all focused on the outdoor terrace and pool "greenspace". A large metal mesh screen fronted with a custom high-backed banquette scrims the Siematic kitchen from the main area while allowing visual openness and air flow. Cool terrazzo floors unite the adjacent spaces, the perfect practical medium in the kitchen, near the hearth and opening to the pool. A soaring custom riveted metal fireplace provides the focal point for the living area while connecting the lower and upper realms of the room, drawing your eye skyward to the vaulted clerestory. Luxurious upholstery pieces from my own line with Tomlinson/Erwin-Lambeth prove that living a sustainable lifestyle doesn't mean sacrificing comfort or style.

An interior designer practicing in the Virginia countryside near Washington, DC, Barry Dixon has taken his own brand of warmly hospitable Southern design style to projects around the world. A childhood spent abroad in exotic locales such as India, South Africa & French Polynesia affords his work a singular global perspective. Multiple magazine pictorials (Southern Accents, Veranda, House Beautiful, Metropolitan Home, Traditional Home) as well as frequent television appearances (Good Morning America, HGTV) have spurred the success of his furniture line with Tomlinson/Erwin-Lambeth. Recent accomplishments include a fabric collection for Vervain/S. Harris, a rug collection with Megerian, and his new book ‘Barry Dixon Interiors’ with Brian Coleman.”
