Again, too contemporary but I love the idea of disappearing glass doors that maximize views and indoor outdoor living

I realize that these glass enclosed wine display cabinets are very fashionable and probably a passing fad, but I have to admit that I love them and add a contemporary design element that I think would be consistent with our concept

Like the way, the doors fold back and open up the space to make seamless indoor outdoor living

A bit too vertical, but it shows how to integrate a garage in a pretty attractive way

I can imagine from a marketing perspective that people walking by the Dell/contemplative center and seen that upper level terrace would be envious. I would like to figure out a way that they could have the same thing.

I’m not crazy about the overall exterior aesthetic, but I do like the covered terrace on top

Obviously, this echoes the rotunda, not a bad thing

Cool view of the interior staircase

Another way to maximize usable square footage, which is super private and affords amazing views is with really well designed rooftop, terraces, possibly even including elegant, hot tubs, and fireplaces

Not generally a fan of circular staircases, but these are quite elegant and maybe occupied less square footage or can be integrated in a way that maximizes elegance and makes the residence super unique perhaps with Glass balustrades

Narrow and vertical but elegant. Maybe our town houses should have less of a French feel like this and more of an Italian feel to acknowledge Dr. Lambeth’s fascination with all things Italian

Only thing I like about this is the windows over the kitchen, cabinetry, maximizing views

Love this aesthetic with the French windows and doors across the entire façade

Of course, comfortable with old town Alexandria architecture having lived there for 30 years; maybe we do a hybrid with exterior stairs down to the ground floor and up to the first floor on the front façade and the rear façade add exterior stairs up to a second floor balcony

For the east side townhomes, these would be the patios on both East and west side façade on the ground floor but probably shrunk in size to only be 8 to 10 feet deep

Ironwork is too fanciful, but like the integration of balconies and exterior stairs; view elevator as daily access between floors, but stairs on exterior are for emergencies or exercise in good weather

Built-in banquettes as space saving device

Rooftop Terrace; but I would have balconies off the front and back

Exterior staircase, accessing both levels, thus reducing the need for interior staircases
