Modera Falls Church wins NAHB Best in American Living Silver Award

Located in Falls Church, Virginia, this vibrant mixed-use community brings together refined interiors and thoughtfully designed amenity spaces to support how residents live, work, and connect. With a design rooted in local character, biophilic principles, and modern lifestyle needs, the project reflects HDG’s commitment to creating distinctive, experience-driven environments that elevate everyday living.

Best Multifamily Community Amenity/Common Space

Where arrival becomes an experience.

A welcoming, light-filled lobby with clean lines, warm materials, and layered textures creates a comfortable, modern atmosphere. Integrated greenery and varied seating encourage residents to gather or unwind, while the open, multi-level layout improves flow and visibility.

Designed for gathering, relaxing, and everything in between.

A hospitality-inspired leasing lounge balances modern design with residential comfort. Natural wood tones and greenery create a calm, inviting environment, anchored by a central fireplace. Flexible seating and soft lighting support both resident connection and focused work.

Sophisticated comfort, designed for connection.

A bright, double-height wine bar overlooking the lobby blends hospitality with relaxed comfort. Warm wood tones, greenery, and natural light create an inviting setting, while the central bar and varied seating support both socializing and casual downtime.

Productivity meets comfort.

Going beyond the expected, the street-level coworking hub is designed as a shared amenity for both residents and the surrounding community. Positioned for visibility and engagement, the space reflects a strategic partnership with the City of Falls Church, Mill Creek Residential, and Apt CoWork. It fosters connection at a broad scale while maintaining secure, controlled access for residents. A mix of podcast rooms, treadmill desks, private offices, conference rooms, and flexible work areas supports modern work styles, complemented by shared amenities including breakout spaces and a coffee café.

A little spa day, reimagined for four-legged residents.

The pet spa brings a playful twist to a clean, modern design. It blends crisp lines, warm textures, and durable finishes that can handle a little shake-off moment. Light, bright, and carefully detailed, the space feels fresh and elevated while remaining fun, approachable, and unmistakably pet-friendly.

Outdoor retreat, redefined.

An intentionally designed courtyard that blends structure and softness, where filtered light, natural textures, and lush greenery create a calming, biophilic escape. Comfortable seating invites connection or quiet recharge, while the pergola’s rhythm of light and shadow brings comfort and character to every moment outdoors.
