2-Over-2’s at Cascades at Embrey Mill

Stafford, VA
This collection of townhomes is the first of its kind in Stafford County, Virginia. The client approached our D.C. design team specifically for our experience designing this typology throughout the DMV and the Mid-Atlantic. We worked with our client, consultants and the county to design a building that would set a precedent, and to guide the development team through detailed entitlement and permitting.

This process included working very closely with the county to meet their requirements, and coordinating with SMEP to make each piece of this design fit together. Through collaboration, we ensured that each unit is fire-separated, quiet and accessible for this active adult community. Each four-story building looks, from the outside, much like a typical townhome. In this form, our designers have carefully nested two totally separate units of two and a half floors each.

Every unit has a private one-car garage and separate entrance, including a private elevator. Main living areas are on alternate floors for privacy and each features an accessible primary bed and bath. The units also have significant space on the ground floor adjacent to their garage, including a rec room and patio. Each includes three bedrooms, perfect for visiting grandchildren, guests, or office space, and all the features that the buy-down active adult market expects out of an effortless new home.
