The developer behind Reston Station, Comstock Companies, has consistently prioritized architectural excellence, recognizing the transformative power of well-designed spaces. Comstock’s commitment to architectural excellence is a breath of fresh air. They understand that exceptional architecture elevates the entire community, attracting residents, businesses, and visitors alike. This philosophy, their pursuit of the extraordinary, is reflected in their selection of world-renowned architectural firms for various projects within the development.
Naturally, Nunzio Marc DeSantis Architects felt a distinct honor when Comstock Developers entrusted them with the design of the JW Marriott Hotel and Residences, the cornerstone of hospitality within their transformative Reston development.
Architects Nunzio and Marc DeSantis purposefully crafted the design to give the illusion of forward momentum, mirroring Comstock’s trademark vision for their Reston development, of “new remarkable”, and of continuous progress in technology and social advancement. In addition to exterior design, Nunzio led the planning of the hotel, determining the location of all major programmatic elements, organizing the food and beverage offerings, developing all the meeting space and service aspects, and laying out all the hotel rooms and residences. Notably, Nunzio DeSantis also played a significant role in the initial planning of the hotel’s integration into the master plan, emphasizing the importance of the central green park. He embraced the concept of giving nature back to the development, recognizing the park’s potential as a natural reprieve from the urban environment, as well as a vibrant gathering place for festivals and social events.
