Here’s what they had to say about the work that drives them:

Allison shared her passion for educational design, stating, “I’m driven by designing educational environments that inspire curiosity, support growth, and bring people together in meaningful ways for students, staff, and the broader community.” — Allison Legg, AIA, NCARB, PMP, CDT, LEED AP

Justin spoke to his focus on commercial and mission-critical environments, sharing, “What interests me most about commercial interiors and secure environments is designing spaces that are both operationally effective and thoughtfully tailored to how people work, interact, and experience a space every day.” — Justin O.

The recently completed addition at The Nysmith School in Herndon expands the campus with new learning and collaboration environments designed to support both students and educators for years to come.

The two-story addition was designed to complement the existing campus architecture while introducing new classrooms, offices, teacher support spaces, and an outdoor patio extension connected to the art classroom.

Thoughtful planning and coordination addressed the challenges of working within an occupied campus environment while enhancing opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and day-to-day learning experiences.

Significant progress for LAWS Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services as the new shelter project in Loudoun County continues to advance.

Architecture, Incorporated is proud to serve as the designer for this important community resource, which will expand access to safe housing and support services for individuals and families impacted by domestic violence. With more than $9.4 million raised to date, including support from Loudoun County Government, The Claude Moore Charitable Foundation, and community donors, the project represents a major investment in community safety and well-being.

We are excited to see this impactful project move forward and to help bring its vision of safety, hope, and empowerment to life.

Our most recent Mellow Mushroom marks our 16th Mellow build and second in the Raleigh-Durham NC region for the same franchisee. This new Holly Springs location, encompassing both base building and interior design, reimagines the brand’s signature 70s aesthetic through a blend of modern and retro, layering nostalgic colors, forms, and materials into one unique space.

By bridging decades of design, the restaurant space invites moments of recollection while staying true to Mellow’s ubiquity, franchisee functionality, and maintenance needs. A fresh take on a familiar experience, rooted in both memory and momentum.

We are honored to receive a Gold Award for Historic Renovation in the Brick Industry Association’s Brick in Architecture Awards for our work on Arlo Washington DC 🏆

The historic 1888 Harrison Apartment Building was thoughtfully restored and reimagined as part of the Arlo hotel, preserving its Romanesque Revival brickwork, signature turret, and landmark character. The new building’s contrasting cream-colored brick pays homage to the original structure while clearly distinguishing old from new.

We are grateful for this recognition and proud to see this significant Washington, DC landmark recognized at a national level. Congratulations to all of the other award recipients and exceptional projects featured this year!
