Cross-laminated timber (CLT) walls and ceilings give Lexi duPont’s home a cabin feel.
Cabinetry painted in Farrow & Ball Railings is topped with Dupont Corian in Whisper white.
Eliminating the wall separating the kitchen from the dining room was a challenge, forcing Dupont Blouin to reconsider mechanical and electrical logistics.
In the wet bath, teak flooring is juxtaposed with one-inch Carrera marble penny tiles and Dupont Corian countertops in Glacier White.
Blouin and Dupont kept the river rock surrounding the fireplace despite its loud texture "because the smoothness, or overall materiality of the house, gives a sense of balance to the living room," says Blouin.
One of my favorite booths this year was by DuPont. Rather than displaying panels of their new surfaces, the company featured a series of vignettes featuring its Corian and Zodiaq materials. Here is the new Corian color Hazelnut.
DuPont Zodiaq Quartz countertops in Snow White and a Duravit Starck 3 sink stand across from a tub by Acryline Inc. in the bathroom. Between them, Arctic White and Suede Gray squares from Daltile lead to an American Standard toilet.
The former dining room is now home to Russell and Fontanez’s custom kitchen, designed by LOT-EK and fabricated by Chef Restaurant Supplies. “We love to entertain,” Russell says. “Before, the galley kitchen was in the hallway; now we can cook and still be a part of the party.” The space-saving setup, which adjoins the living room, features stainless steel–paneled cabinets, DuPont Corian countertops, Onda stools by Jesus Gasca for Stua, and fixtures and appliances by Grohe, Liebherr, and Miele.
To maximize space, the designers specified that the cabinets be built around a former fireplace in the kitchen. “Because there’s a bump out where the chimney is, we turned the sink lengthwise,” Lignano says. “The cabinet directly overhead is only four inches deep, so it’s just a huge spice rack.” The island provides ample additional storage.

Dupont Underground -- Washington, D.C.
Where others see an abandoned trolley station below Dupont Circle, architect Julian Hunt see art, specifically, art galleries. His proposed Dupont Underground project would turn this slightly dank cavern and former transport hub into a centerpiece of the Capital cultural scene, featuring avant-garde visual art and architecture.
