Alexandria — Historic Charm Meets Modern Outdoor Living
Alexandria ranges from the historic rowhouses of Old Town to the established neighborhoods of Del Ray, Seminary Hill, and West End, to the newer developments in Kingstowne and Franconia. Each area has distinct lot sizes, architectural styles, and permitting requirements — and we navigate all of them.
- Historic district expertise: Old Town and Parker-Gray have Board of Architectural Review (BAR) requirements — we design within historic guidelines
- Compact lot design: Del Ray and Rosemont lots are small — we maximize every square foot with creative multi-level and L-shaped designs
- Two jurisdictions: City of Alexandria (independent) vs Fairfax County — many "Alexandria" addresses are actually in the County
- Premium materials: Alexandria homeowners appreciate quality — Trex Transcend and TimberTech AZEK are our most-specified products here
