Because residential lots in McLean and Vienna tend to be larger than those found in Arlington and Falls Church, there is often more opportunity to “site” a new home to take advantage of the property’s features. DeFalco Home Design takes into account the topography, views, sun angles, and vehicular access when designing your new home. Physical necessities including wells, septic systems, and stormwater management facilities also require close coordination with the civil engineer on the DeFalco team.
Problem solving is at the heart of DeFalco Home Design’s architecture services. We start with a detailed design questionnaire and a process called “problem seeking”. We need to know everything possible about how you currently live and what you are missing; every pain point, concern, annoyance, or aspiration. Houses are not just a list of rooms, they are an expression of ourselves. The job of the architect is to get inside our clients’ heads, bring our expertise to bear, and to design an elegant solution – as if they had designed it themselves.
