LEE DESIGN STUDIO

Revitalizing Retail into Connected Communities 🌇

Over the past year, our team has thoughtfully repositioned aging suburban retail centers through strategic facade redesigns, enhanced visibility and improved pedestrian connectivity. By prioritizing active, inviting environments, we help assets perform better for both tenants and visitors.

Design upgrades on these types of projects focus on preserving the existing structural framework while maximizing walkability. We continue to partner with developers to unlock the potential of retail assets, creating resilient spaces where communities thrive.

From Concept to Recognition 👏

In some cases, the most exciting work is the collaboration that exists in the space between imagination and reality. Our Lee Design Studio team is excited that our Waterfront Church Project received an Honorable Mention at this year’s AIA Unbuilt Awards. Together, we had a productive charrette thinking through the design, and everyone contributed great solutions and ideas. Tyson Dubbe served as PM, working diligently with the city of Washington, D.C., through the permitting process. Christine Proudfoot navigated the award submission process and presented the thoughtful considerations behind our design. We are hopeful to see this project brought to fruition one day!

Thank you to for supporting architectural discourse and celebrating projects that challenge the status quo, and thank you to in Washington D.C. for hosting the ceremony in their beautiful space. We enjoyed seeing familiar faces in the room and being inspired by the incredible work being done in our industry. Congratulations to all award recipients on their achievements!

Big, bold, beautiful and breaking records! ⭐️🏡
Our recently finished Tuckahoe Colonial project now holds the record for the highest priced home sale in Falls Church City.

This 6 bedroom, 5 bathroom classic colonial new-build in the iconic Broadmont neighborhood of Falls Church City, combines modern amenities with a unique aesthetic that compliments neighboring homes. Preserving the timelessness of the classical colonial style while adding some elegance and a color palette that fits the homeowners aesthetic was a fun and collaborative project for our team and our partner Elevation Homes. We love how this turned out!
