One Loudon Plaza
Ashburn, Virginia
E.E. Reed Construction
The Plaza at One Loudoun is the centerpiece of a new planned town center as the heart of Loudoun County, Virginia’s ts “New Downtown.” Loudoun County is primarily a suburban community of Washington, DC needing a larger identity and commercial core. The One Loudoun development was designed to meet that challenge, by encompassing more than 400 acres divided into residential, office, and a mixed-use downtown where the plaza is located. Intended as a central gathering place, the Plaza at One Loudoun offers residents and visitors a downtown feel with entertainment, shopping and dining. In addition to its central location amongst the downtown businesses, the plaza has a modern identity but with a classic town square feel. Visitors may sample the electronic tag games and the interactive water fountain – or perhaps take in a show or concert at the stage. Design inspiration was drawn from the American town square and the unique paving of Italian piazzas. Basket weave, herringbone and running bond brick patterns repeated throughout the design with different colored clay pavers create a design with concentric ellipses and crossing stripes that focus on the plaza and stage cebter. The designs – and the warm brown and tan colors of the pavers contribute both a classic Old World feel and a visually stunning backdrop to the modern amenities for all to enjoy.
