Idea House Peninsula 2019

A single-story gray-blue house with stone facade, arched windows, a covered front entry, and an attached two-car garage on a sunny lawn.

Idea Houses bring together under one roof the latest trends in architectural, interior and landscape design; appliances and amenities; and more. These houses offer visitors and readers an irresistible array of innovation—from floorplans and functionality, to furniture and fabrics, to finishes and fixtures—along with access to the local resources to bring it all within reach.

Coastal Virginia Magazine’s first Idea House took shape in 2015. Since then, several trend-setting homes have followed until this year when we decided that the only thing better than one Idea House was a pair of them—one in southern Virginia Beach and one in Williamsburg.
