A Coastal Modern Luxury Home in Vienna, Virginia
The Stephen Circle Showpiece brings coastal modern design to a new construction residence in Vienna, Virginia. Created through a collaboration between DesignLab and Composition Homes, the nearly 6,800-square-foot home combines architecture, interiors, custom millwork, cabinetry, stonework, and material selections into one cohesive design.
Throughout the home, DesignLab’s work is seen in the details that shape how each space feels and functions. From the chef’s kitchen and glass-enclosed wine room to the great room, custom closets, spa-inspired primary suite, and indoor-outdoor living areas, the project reflects a balance of refined design, technical execution, and modern livability.

Vision & Purpose
Stephen Circle was created as a coastal modern luxury home in Vienna, Virginia, bringing together new construction, interior design, custom millwork, stonework, and detailed finish selections within one unified project.
The home was designed around open, light-filled spaces and distinctive architectural features, including a dramatic entry, floating staircase, expansive great room, chef’s kitchen, glass-enclosed wine room, custom wet bar, fitness studio, and spa-inspired primary suite.
Across the residence, custom cabinetry, integrated lighting, wall treatments, concealed doors, and tailored storage solutions add depth and function while supporting a consistent design language from one space to the next.
The Kitchen at the Center of the Home
The kitchen at Stephen Circle was designed as a central gathering space within the home’s open living plan. A dramatic stone waterfall island anchors the room, bringing scale, function, and visual weight to the heart of the residence.
Quartzite countertops, touch-to-open cabinetry, and professional-grade Italian Bertazzoni appliances give the space a clean, modern feel while supporting everyday use. A walk-in pantry, double wall ovens, and an adjacent dining area add flexibility for both daily routines and entertaining.
Rather than feeling separate from the rest of the home, the kitchen connects naturally to the surrounding living spaces, carrying the project’s coastal modern design language through material selection, cabinetry, and architectural flow.
Entertainment and Wellness Spaces
The lower level at Stephen Circle was designed to extend the home’s living experience beyond the main gathering areas. A glass-enclosed wine room, custom wet bar, spacious recreation area, and double-glass-doored fitness studio create a dedicated setting for entertaining, movement, and relaxation.
These spaces add flexibility to the home while maintaining the same coastal modern design language carried throughout the residence. Built-in features, integrated lighting, and custom storage support daily use without taking away from the clean architectural feel of the lower level.
A Consistent Design Language
Across Stephen Circle, the design is carried through repeated materials, clean architectural lines, and custom details that connect one space to the next.
Stone surfaces, wood tones, integrated lighting, wall treatments, and custom millwork appear throughout the home, giving each room its own purpose while still feeling connected to the larger design. From the kitchen and great room to the wine room, closets, and primary suite, every space contributes to a cohesive coastal modern interior.
The result is a home that feels refined without feeling overdone. Each detail supports the architecture, allowing the materials, light, and craftsmanship to shape the overall experience.
Frequently Asked Questions

A Finished Experience
Stephen Circle comes together through the details that are felt as much as they are seen. The open living areas, custom storage, lower-level amenities, primary suite, and outdoor connections were designed to support daily life while maintaining the clean, coastal modern character of the home.
Rather than treating luxury as a single feature, the project carries it through the way each space works, transitions, and feels complete.
DesignLab’s Role
On Stephen Circle, DesignLab’s work extended across the details that give a new construction home its finished character. The team contributed to the interior direction through cabinetry, millwork, stonework, storage solutions, lighting coordination, and finish selections.
This level of involvement helped keep the home aligned from concept to completion. Instead of separating design from execution, the project brought both disciplines into the same conversation, allowing the interiors to feel connected to the architecture and purpose of the home.
