Case Architects & Remodelers

“I love being able to make a client fall in love with their house all over again,” says Alexandria Hubbard, a designer – interior specialist at Case Architects & Remodelers in Bethesda, Md. She received her degree in 2016 from the NKBA-accredited Residential Design Program at Virginia Tech and over the past year has designed more than $1.2 million in contracted projects. Her most challenging renovations, she says, have been condominiums, where layouts are sometimes limited by the building’s design and what’s above and below the space. One of her team’s creative condo solutions — reimagining a poorly located mechanical room door to look like a built-in — won two National Design Awards.

“I love being able to make a client fall in love with their house all over again.”

Alexandria, who says she “thrives off the organized chaos of the design process,” channeled her childhood creativity by obsessively watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and sketching the rooms as they were transformed; she also played with The Sims, creating house after house and neighborhood after neighborhood for imaginary “clients” but never populating them with any people. These days, community engagement ranks high among her core values and Alexandria donates her time and talent to projects with which Case is involved: remodeling kitchens for Virginia residents in need with Homestretch, volunteering on Habitat for Humanity’s Women’s Build team and helping young patients design their dream Christmas trees at Children’s National Hospital’s “Light Up the Season.”

Her other pastimes range from reading “fiction set in a dystopian setting…anything with a hint of magic” to being a “turtle mom” to a Russian tortoise named Zildjian. When she isn’t designing, you might find Alexandria cheering on her favorite NASCAR team, tubing the Shenandoah River with friends and then sipping rosé at Virginia winery Chester Gap Cellars, or working her “night job” as a wedding coordinator. She says the word “spunky” best describes her — and it’s easy to see why.
