Exurban Expertise
As part of a larger transit-oriented development within walking distance of the Wiehle-Reston Metro, Faraday Park offers an optimal balance of mixed-use, multifamily, and townhouses—all with a thoughtful mix of indoor and outdoor amenities spaces that enrich community place-making. With a varying mix of surrounding building types, MV+A made every effort possible to plan a development that was sensitive to scale, materiality, and the creation of a pedestrian experience that would reinforce and promote walk-ability and a readily identifiable sense of place and community.
As the centerpiece of the development, the Faraday West building is more of a ‘signature’ building with its contextual references to the surrounding commercial buildings and its mixed material palette affording effective transitions along Reston Station Boulevard. Whereas the character of the East building and townhouses are more in line with their infill context. Given the neighborhood’s diversity of programming, Faraday Park is positioned to become a thriving example of ‘live, work, and play’.
