Adjacent to Ballston Commons mall, Founder's Square encompasses two residential towers, one office tower, and one GSA/office tower totaling 1 million square feet. The site design responds to the interaction between active and passive pedestrian spaces and the scale of spaces between the towers, while adhering to the GSA's strict security requirements. The project has required intensive collaboration between the landscape architect and the architect in order to fulfill LEED requirements with the intention of achieving LEED certification with the final design. The current design includes undulating grassed berms intersected by corten steel walls, an arbor structure and a dining and plaza area featuring a water wall. The site is approximately 7 acres in area. Currently the project is in the schematic design phase.
