challenging to build on due to a notable slope in the backyard.After considering the best way to navigate the uniqueness of the land,“We decided some of the design elements that we wanted to incorporate that were unique to the area. For example, some wood paneling on the ceilings, high-end cabinets, unique appliances from La Cornue.” “We also incorporated an elevator into the design of the home and worked with the lot’s slope to include a 19-foot ceiling basketball court with exterior windows allowing for natural light.” “This was a great project,” Jardine enthuses. DESIGNING THE FUTURE When asked about what he envisions for Focal Point Homes’ future, Jardine answers with reflection. “We are very invested in the communities near our centers of strength around McLean, Langley, and other nearby premium high schools in Northern Virginia and have built more homes in McLean, Virginia over the last 10 years than any other builder,” Jardine details. Although focused in most part on their current market around McLean, Falls Church, and Arlington, Jardine does admit that the company has begun to expand its footprint in the Northern Virginia area to include homes in Vienna, Oakton, Springfield, Alexandria, and Fairfax. “We will be smart about future growth; and this growth will reflect the expansion of our capabilities as the years go by,as with every project, we are learning more and more,” he concludes. 75 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 12, ISSUE 02 FOCAL POINT HOMES
