DBI’s architectural designs and master plans resonate, creating environments where people want to work, to live, to be. Our work is fresh and forward-thinking, embracing contemporary design, delivering cutting-edge, dynamic results. Our architectural portfolio is made up of commercial office buildings, residential, affordable housing, schools, colleges and universities, and churches – the identity, style, and appeal of each defined by a unique and sophisticated approach. Bringing deep expertise in building design, we strive to maximize functionality, utility, and value, meeting the demands of large projects while being intimately involved in the details. DBI’s master planning services comprehensively evaluate the characteristics of a specific property, providing conceptual layouts to guide current and future growth and development. Then we illustrate the design concepts that work best for the site to:
/ Conceptualize and shape the three-dimensional environment; / Develop phasing and implementation schedules; / Identify priorities for action; / Define public, semiprivate, and private spaces and public amenities; / Determine the mix of uses and their physical relationship; / Act as a framework to attract private- and public-sector interest and investment. DBI’s experience and expertise provide a reliable guide through the range of land use, zoning, traffic, environmental, and demographic issues that often arise during complex projects.

Gramercy District
Ashburn, VA / 2,500,000 SF
Adjacent to the Ashburn Metro Station (the terminus of the Silver Line) in Loudoun County, and less than 10 miles from Dulles International Airport, Gramercy District is a transit-oriented development on 16 acres fronting the north side of the Dulles Greenway. The site is the western-most anchor on an axis of major employment centers between Loudoun County and Washington DC, potentially providing 300,000 SF of retail and office space, 1,000 apartments, and central pedestrian plaza. Gramercy is positioned to be a major gateway to Loudoun County, the fastest-growing region in the Washington Metropolitan area. Gramercy will foster an amenity-rich, work-live-play environment, while also providing the convenience of direct access to mass transit via the Silver Line.

Old Reston Avenue Reston, VA / 144,583 RSF
12
Replacing an existing three-story building with two three-story campus-style Class A commercial office buildings, Old Reston Avenue is an example of new minimalist design. The project provides a modern, innovative, and sustainable architectural statement along Old Reston Avenue while complementing, and contrasting with the Classical Revival / Federal style of the Bowman House. Low horizontal massing and scale of the new structures provide an anchoring backdrop to this historic structure. Clean, simple design elements integrate the buildings with the landscape and the site.
Courthouse Square Leesburg, VA / 120,000 SF
The Courthouse Square project was designed to provide approximately 120,000 GSF of Class A office and retail space, as well as 335 parking spaces in a five-story garage . The building’s design accomplishes three objectives: it (1) reflects the town character by using additive massing and complementary materials; (2) provides a mid-block background building of appropriate density for a first-class office and mixed-use space; and (3) harmonizes with the historic Town green and courthouse complex across East Market Street. 14

1015 18th Street Washington, DC / 110,587 RSF
The repositioning/upgrade of a 1970s-era, 11-story, precast concrete office building replaced a dated front façade with a sleek modern design, renovated the main lobby, restrooms, and elevator lobbies; and added 3,700 SF of habitable space at the penthouse level for a conference center, restrooms, wellness center, and roof terrace. New features include an energy-efficient, structural silicone-glazed curtain wall system; signage and canopy for stronger street presence; and ultra-clear glass to promote visibility and create a more inviting space. The façade’s new structure, placed over three colors of glass, creates a “super grid” of alternating hues that divide planes along a cascading scale of color.
