in the Washington DC area.
IRIDIUM is a new construction project by HRY Design, built with mostly concrete and steel A fine point is the floor plan - no two bedrooms share a wall. Not within a unit - not with the next unit over. A boutique building with
located on DC’s most famous street - 1306 Pennsylvania Ave (photo: www.FredShilling.com) only 10 units – 2 on each floor – only an entrance, exit, and elevator, for privacy and peace (photo: www.Fred.Schilling.com)
F ounded in 2001 with the vision of becoming the
premiere custom home developer and renovator in our
Nation’s Capitol, HRY Design has grown to be one of the most
reliable, creative, responsive, and detailed companies in the
Washington, DC Metropolitan Area. The presidents of the
company, Gerry Coates and Harvey Yancey, work in tandem
to satisfy both commercial and residential clients, overseeing
the design and construction arms of the company, respectively.
HRY Design helps with every aspect of home
or commercial space remodeling from creating the
foundation to choosing granite and paint colors. The company
relies on a select group of architects and consultants to control
quality. At HRY Design, no job is too big or too small. All
projects are handled with the utmost consideration for
the client’s unique tastes and design preferences.
Whether it is a guest bathroom, finished basement, new
floors, or an entire house, both the construction and design
arms of HRY Design work in unison to execute the client’s
vision. The company has taken vacant lots and abandoned
homes in prime locations such as Capital Hill, Shaw,
and Dupont Circle in Washington DC to create some
of the most stunning, sophisticated, and sexy homes on
the block, as well as throughout the city.
After an initial contract consultation, HRYDesign clients
are introduced to their site manager and design consultant.
By giving the client two points of contact for construction
and design, the entire renovation process is streamlined and
communication simplified guaranteeing that the client is not
only kept informed on the progress of their renovation but also
has a company official to answer questions should the need
arise. HRY Design has been able to capitalize on its formula
of exceptional customer service and outstanding renovation
and development. By sticking to the ‘Platinum Rule’ they have
grown exponentially, adding interior design and landscaping
consultants to the team.
Now in their sixth successful year, the company has also
expanded to Miami, Florida where they are building private and
commercial residences - which have been featured on HGTV
(Home and Garden Television) and BET (Black Entertainment
Television). The company has also teamed up with exceptional
charitable organizations, giving time and money to causes
near and far. One particular charity is the Capital Movement
Project, whch provides a dance outlet for urban children.
Another charity, Fashion Fights Poverty, is focused on lifting the
economic status of many families in America.
