Panda, Canal, Baby Shower & Wood! Whats You Talkin 'Bout Willis??


HUGE WEEK FOR OPaL::  Panda, Canal, Baby Shower & Wood!

Let me explain::  We are expecting the delivery of our Panda Jockey from Cleveland anytime today. We also just received the final rendering for Canal Mews so now they can finish the site I.D. sign and web site. Additionally, we are prepping the model home for a HUGE baby shower this Sunday.  And the lumber should drop (that's a builder term, lumber drop) at The Stables, where we could be under roof in 2 weeks!!

Here he is, right before being packaged up for his long truck ride to DC.

All boxed up.

Canal Mews @ Palisades.  This will be such a fun project to build this summer and fall.

Just When You Thought The Palisades Couldn't Get Any Cooler:: Canal Mews Comes Along


Just incase you never knew, when a developer has a perspective rendering done (one in which the homes are drawn from an angle other than straight on) the artist must first make an wire frame of the structure to ensure the homes will be seen from the angle the developer desires.  Years ago they actually made the model from wire but of course today they are drawn on computer.

This is the perspective for OPaL's ever-so-cool 'Coastal Greystones' we will be building in the Palisades area of DC this summer.  Once approved the artist will add color to the homes, landscaping and a blue sky.  Fun stuff.

Those DC Blogs Love Naylor Court Stables....So Do We!

Let me quote BadWolf DC::

"Over the past 2 years much has been discussed and written about "The Stables at Naylor Court" a project from OPaL of Cabin John Md. The good news is that the construction has started in earnest. The ambitious project that will build 3 town homes in Naylor Court who's exterior recreates the look of the stables of old, while providing a small gated community."

OPaL's New Office and Model are Just About Complete.....


Moved into our new office and model home a few weeks ago and it is just amazing. So many people contributed to this beautiful home, none more that the creative minds at GPS Designs and P Four Interiors.  
This home will take OPaL to unforeseen places.  I will publish professional photos in a month or two, just waiting for some more art to be delivered and of pool furniture.  :-)

OPaL Beach House for Summer 2013 with the Volume Turned Up


The plans for the Joe P. beach house in Rehoboth are almost complete. With that classic beach elevation, center courtyard for pool and gazebo plus wide open interior spaces, beamed ceilings and that intangible OPaL feeling.....this will be quite the gathering place for friends and family, OPaL style.

GIDDY UP!

GOING WITH THE JOCKEY, LIKE THERE WAS ANY DOUBT


Using the colors from our OPaL Custom Home logo collage, the artists have created a clever pattern for the silks of the Panda Jockey.  We also changed the number to 13, our lucky number.
