live there. Ms. Alexander is an expert in building consensus among a wide array

of community stakeholders. She listens, learns, understands and responds to

what is important and meaningful to the people who will live, work, shop and

play in the communities and homes she designs.

Ms. Alexander believes that there are inextricable links between people and

the places they inhabit. Her keen awareness of the changing patterns of

society have enabled her to design housing for people of all ages, incomes and

lifestyles, creating inviting communities that will meet the needs of people

now and in the future.

Ms. Alexander has worked throughout the District of Columbia and the greater

Washington Metropolitan area on projects that have transformed not only the

lives of the people who live there, but also the surrounding communities. In many cases this means transforming urban blight into livable communities. These complex, mixed-use urban infill projects serve as catalysts for change,

creating transit-oriented, walkable communities that in many cases now represent some of the most desirable places to live in the Washington region.

Ms. Alexander is sought out by clients and colleagues for her leadership in the unique District of Columbia zoning and entitlement realm, specializing in creating real estate value for her clients through innovative design solutions that

maximize the allowable density for a site, while at the same time adding value to communities. She is frequently called upon to lead projects through the District’s complex approval process which can involve presentations to various

agencies and commissions, including Advisory Neighborhood Commissions, the Historic Preservation Review Board, the Board of Zoning Adjustment, the Commission of Fine Arts, the State Historic Preservation Office and the National

Capital Planning Commission. Ms. Alexander has recently begun to expand her expertise in entitlement processes to include projects in both Maryland and Virginia.

Ms. Alexander’s designs have been honored with numerous regional and national design awards from such prestigious groups as the Congress for the New Urbanism, the Urban Land Institute, the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art, the Urban Guild, and Builder Magazine.

Mr. Alexander is a Registered Architect and a LEED Accredited Professional. She received a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Maryland and a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Notre Dame.
