3 Pinecrest Townhouse Cluster Design Guidelines 2014 Introduction The Pinecrest Townhouse Cluster Design Standard establishes a base line for architectural materials, details, colors, and elements accepted by Pinecrest Cluster. Pinecrest, as an older Townhouse Cluster has evolved considerably over the years since it was constructed. New materials, details, colors, and elements have found their way into the architectural palette of the Townhouse Cluster causing the visual content of the Townhouse Cluster to become confused. This standard will eliminate future use of some of the materials, details, colors, and elements whose visual contribution is not beneficial to the overall Townhouse Cluster. It is the policy of Pinecrest Townhouse Cluster to allow existing non-compliant architectural materials, details, colors, and elements to remain in place for the normal lifespan of the materials, details, colors, and elements or fifteen years from the date of the Adoption of the Design Guidelines. At the time of repainting or replacement only approved details, colors, and elements will be allowed. Application must be made first to the Pinecrest Townhouse Cluster Board of Directors and then to the Reston Association Covenants for any changes to the architectural materials, details, colors, and elements prior to any changes being made to any Pinecrest Townhouse Cluster property. Revised June reston, virginia

4 Pinecrest Townhouse Cluster Design Guidelines 2014 Townhouse Styles The Pinecrest Townhouse Cluster began with five floor plans or models. There are five Contemporary style townhouses and four Spanish Style townhouses. All homes must retain or revert to the original house style (see style examples). The house style contains the layout of doors, windows, panels, and trim. By maintaining the house style, the entire building has a balanced, attractive look. In an effort to simplify and strengthen the Clusters overall appearance this Design Standard has established the following criteria for the remodeling of the townhouse exteriors. Removal of existing exterior, band boards, spandrel panels and trim above and below existing windows and doors is no longer allowed. In instances where the band boards, trim, and spandrel panels have been removed as part of previous renovations, these material and features shall be replaced in any subsequent remodeling to replace exterior material at the time of the exterior work or 15 years from the date of the implementation of this Cluster Standard. Any renovation to the exterior of the townhouses shall require the prior approval of the Pinecrest Townhouse Cluster Board of Directors and the Reston Association Design Review Board.

5 Pinecrest Townhouse Cluster Design Guidelines 2014 Installation of additional sliding glass doors and windows shall require the prior approval of the Pinecrest Townhouse Cluster Board of Directors and the Reston Association Design Review Board. The following is a summary of townhouse styles followed by typical elevations of the townhouse styles permitted under this Guideline. Revised June reston, virginia

24 Pinecrest Townhouse Cluster Design Guidelines 2014 House Style Siding and Panels The charts above specify which courts can have what siding. The courts called Spanish can use either stucco (including board siding that looks like stucco) or T1-11 placed vertically. Houses on Contemporary courts should continue to use horizontal cedar panel siding. Each house is assigned a style which specified the placement of panels and trim. General All elevations (front, rear, and side if an end unit) are to be resided at the same time. House panels are to remain flat, not grooved, and be made of plywood. Stucco Stucco can be plaster over plywood, or it can be Stucco boards (James Hardie Stucco Fiber Cement Panel Siding) to provide the same appearance. Repairs to Stucco can be done by filling in the grooves with mortar, then using Stucco patch. T1-11 T1-11 siding must be vertical 5/8 with 4 scoring. Rear window and door trim to be 2 to 4 to provide a better seal. The Siding is to be butted against the doors and windows and caulked. Revised June reston, virginia

25 Pinecrest Townhouse Cluster Design Guidelines 2014 Where 2 pieces of T1-11 siding meet, a metal flashing piece, painted to match siding color, is needed over the seam to prevent water seepage. Do not use additional wood trim. At corners, 1 x4 corner boards are to be added and painted to match siding color. A similar finishing board is to be placed over the top edge of the siding under the eaves and painted to match the color of the siding. Foundations visible above the soil line are to be parged (coated with plaster) if repairs are necessary, and painted to match the color of the siding. Fire walls are never to be siding with wood; use stucco painted the approved party wall color. Revised June reston, virginia

26 Pinecrest Townhouse Cluster Design Guidelines 2014 Cluster Color Palette The Pinecrest Townhouse Cluster Color Palette began with nine color palettes, five for the Contemporary style townhouses and four for the Spanish Style townhouses. Each color palette was assigned to a specific style townhouse. Over the years, additional colors were added and the distinction between specific color palettes for each of the Contemporary and Spanish style townhouses became blurred. This Guideline now limits the number of palettes or schemes, shown on the following pages. Adjacent townhouses shall not have the same color scheme. Townhouses with noncompliant color palettes or scheme must replace that color scheme with an approved color scheme when repainting or 15 years from the adoption of the Design Guideline. All replacement color schemes must be approved by the Pinecrest Townhouse Board of Directors and the Reston Association Design review Board. Revised June reston, virginia
