ARB-19-SUL-01 Proposal for new signage (“KOHLER”) at 3656 Centreview Dr., Chantilly, VA, Tax Map 0342 ((01)) 0031, located in the Sully Historic Overlay District. The applicant is proposing a new sign in the shopping center. Burton Francois represents the applicant. Sully District Presentation: • Staff noted that Mr. Burton Francois was supposed to present the application, but was not present. • Chairman Burns said they would move on with the meeting. (Ms. Notkins came in at 6:39 p.m.) 3. ARB-19-LFK-02 Proposal for site plan for new single-family dwelling at 1004 Dogue Hill Lane, McLean, VA, Tax Map 22-3 ((08)) 0005, located in the Langley Fork Historic Overlay District. The applicant is proposing to build a new single-family dwelling on the currently vacant property. Mr. Mark Hughes, AIA represents the applicant. Dranesville District Presentation: • Mr. Mark Hughes, AIA, from Harrison Designs presented the application. He noted that they w for Griffin Moran Fine Homes. They are developing a new single-family home for them. He showed the map and where it is located. The lot is currently vacant. It is off Georgetown Pike, down the road and not visible until a certain point. The site stretches a good bit. They have stretched the house along the site, and kept most of natural landscape. He showed a sketch of the home. It does not face Georgetown Pike. They are trying to meet guidelines with plantings and screenings of the garage area. It has a walkout basement on one side, opposite Georgetown Pike. He showed photos from the street. The basement floor plan is tucked into the hillside. He went through a review of the floorplan, saying they are keeping it low scale and working with the site. • Mr. Hughes colleague, Sasha Pokrovskaya, said they will be meeting the requirements of the historic district in terms of shielding the garage with landscaping. They showed the screening plan, noting they tried to maintain the slope of the property as much as possible. Trees will shield the house from Langley Hill, and not compete with the historic material. Discussion – Pubic: • None Discussion – ARB Members: (Mr. Plumpe joined the meeting at 6:48 p.m.) ARB Meeting: June 13, 2019 Page 2 of 16 • Chairman Burns said he did not see a correlation between the renderings shown on the elevation and the photograph they showed looking up Dogue Hill Lane as you approach the site. The site almost seems domed, but the renderings seem flat. The site slopes up. Where is driveway entrance? • Mr. Hughes pointed to a spot on the picture. • Chairman Burns said the renderings look like it goes straight up. • Mr. Hughes said it does not. He showed where the house was going to sit, and that the roadway would be downhill. It does grade up, and he showed more of the plans with the elevation. • Chairman Burns asked what the elevation was for the walkout. • Mr. Hughes said 251, with 262 being the first floor. Spoke of more elevations, showing it was going uphill. • Chairman Burns asked if the intervals were 2/3 intervals. • Mr. Hughes said yes. • Mr. Kulinski said it was about a 6 foot slope to the motor court area. He said when you first turn on Dogue Hill Lane, it looks like you are quite a bit higher than the lot itself at 276, with the highest point of lot at approximately 272. It looks steep, but grading is going to lower it to create a plateau. That is effective in keeping this from dominating the view. It will be hidden behind mature trees. Considering the topography, he thought this was pretty successful with the lowering and screening without affecting the view of historic site. • Mr. Hughes said they tried not to overwhelm the street. • Ms. Murray said she was concerned with the large amount of manipulation of the terrain. • Mr. Hughes said he did not think it is a lot. They did terrace it. He thought maybe they can get rid of the lower terrace. They created a small rear yard. • Ms. Murray wondered if the lot sizes were legal. She thought it looked small for back yard in Fairfax County. • Ms. Orr said it was 25 feet. • Ms. Murray thought that they were taking off a lot of the upside of the hill, questioning if they were chopping off one or two feet? • Mr. Hughes showed the peak of hill, saying it is about a 5-foot differential, sloping down the back with about a 5-foot retaining wall. They did not want the house set up too high. • Mr. Plumpe asked if behind the garage, at the third proposed tree the assumption is 72. • Mr. Hughes said the retaining wall steps down. • Mr. Plumpe asked with regard to the proximity to the other houses, how close were the other houses to the west of the properties. • Mr. Hughes said the house in the back was not as close. They have a bigger back yard about 50 to 60 feet. • Mr. Plumpe wondered if the neighboring house was wooded. • Mr. Hughes said it was a little bit of woods, but indicated that it was not dense. • Mr. Plumpe spoke about trees, saying trees matter. In this case there is a tulip popper, and red maple. Looks like issues with trees. Would like to have him look at trees along the property lines, and would like to save the trees. It may be more challenging, but he liked the site plan. Would like a good plan to add more vegetation. • Mr. Hughes agreed. Mr. Plumpe made the following motion: Mr. Chairman, I move that the ARB recommend approval for item ARB-19-LFK-02 located at 1004 Dogue Hill Lane, McLean, VA, Tax Map 22-3 ((08)) 0005, located in the Langley Fork Historic Overlay District for the proposed site plan as presented at the June 13, 2019 ARB meeting subject to the following condition: ARB Meeting: June 13, 2019 Page 3 of 16 Request the applicant to invest in a potential of saving in place, meeting with an arborist and obtaining an arborist salvage plan for the following tree numbers – 813, 814, 817, 818 and 820; that they provide sufficient buffering under the proposed tree save or removal of the trees that were requested to be reviewed to be saved, and all the evergreen plantings that would give sufficient buffering from the rear of the house and along the western and southern property line; the ARB recommends that the screening from the Meeting House be enhanced either by saving the existing trees and/or increasing the caliper of the trees already proposed to 3 to 4 calipers, and adding evergreens no smaller than 8 to 10 feet in height.

A Budding Artist He was born and raised in Uruguay in South America. When he was eleven, Fonseca spent six months traveling in Europe with his family. The things he experienced and saw on this trip inspired him to become an artist. When his family returned home he set up an art studio in the basement. A Curious Mind Fonseca was a very curious person. He loved learning about history and languages (he spoke at least six!). Fonseca is often called a polymath*, or someone who knows a lot about many different things. He also traveled to continue his education. On his journeys, Fonseca climbed pyramids in Egypt, helped excavate ancient sites in the Middle East and Africa, and visited ancient Greek and Roman ruins. All of these experiences became a part of his artwork. An Inventive Sculptor Fonseca trained to be a painter but switched to sculpture because he wanted to work in three dimensions. The Lake Anne play sculptures are some of the only public art he ever made. They are molded from the same concrete used in the surrounding buildings. Fonseca was excited to have such big spaces to work with, places like the plaza by the lake and the underpass.

Related to the upcoming retrospective exhibition, Joaquin Torres-García: The Arcadian Modern at the Museum of Modern Art, Cecilia de Torres, Ltd. presents an aspect of the artist's endeavors that is inextricably associated with his personality and his career: the creation of a school of art that would realize “Constructive Universalism,” his theory of a unified aesthetic based on the visual canon he developed. Torres-García’s ambition was to establish an autonomous artistic tradition based on Constructive Universalism that would eventually expand to all the Americas. This utopian undertaking occupied the last fifteen years of his life as an artist and teacher to new generations, leaving a considerable body of work and an indelible mark on South America’s modern art. The works in this exhibition date from 1936 to the 1980s. Our intent is to present work by this group of exceptional artists that is emblematic of their individuality, works of mature achievement as well as of their constructivist origins.

  • The New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture NEW YORK, NEW YORK PROJECT OVERVIEW the School’S Entrance Foyer
    The New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture NEW YORK, NEW YORK PROJECT OVERVIEW The school’s entrance foyer A BRIEF HISTORY he New York Studio School occupies a group of four mid-nineteenth-century townhouses at 8, 10, 12, and 14 West 8th Street in New York City’s Greenwich Village, each with a carriage house behind it opening Tonto MacDougal Alley. The properties were acquired and combined from 1907 to 1929 by sculptor and art patron Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, the eldest surviving daughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt II (1872–1942), as her salon and an artist studio space for herself and numerous fellow artists. Whitney’s first purchase was the carriage house behind #8 in 1907, a three-story building with a stable below and hayloft above, where she established her personal studio. She bought the townhouse in front of it in 1913, followed by #10 in 1923 and #14 in 1925. In 1929, in order to consolidate the complex into a whole and create the Whitney Museum of American Art, she purchased #12 from sculptor Daniel Chester French. French had first introduced her to 8th Street and maintained his own studio next to hers from 1913 on. The Whitney Museum opened in 1931 and operated at the site until 1954. When Whitney bought the townhouse at #8, she retained architect Grosvenor Atterbury to redesign it and connect it to her carriage-house studio. Atterbury built an enclosed stairway from the third floor of the townhouse to the second floor of the studio in the courtyard between the two buildings, added a copper-clad enclosed balcony to the courtyard wall of the studio, and a large north- facing skylight.

  • Dedication to James Rossant
    Dedication to James Rossant Hyperion, Volume V, issue 1, May 2010 7 James Rossant, The Bridge, James Rossant, Floating City, watercolor pen and ink on Japanese handmade paper Hyperion James Rossant 1928 – 2009 This issue of Hyperion is dedicated to the memory of James Rossant. Rossant was an architect, city planner, artist, and professor of architecture. A long-time Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, Rossant was a partner of the architectural firm Conklin & Rossant and principal of James Rossant Architects. Among a life-time of architectural accomplishments, Rossant is best recognized for his master plan of Reston, Virginia, the Lower Manhattan Plan, and the UN-sponsored master plan for Dodoma, Tanzania. His paintings and drawings have been exhibited in galleries in various parts of the world, and have entered a variety of collections, including those of George Mason University, Columbia University, and Centre D’Architecture in Paris. In addition, he has illustrated a number of books, among them children’s books and cookbooks written by Colette Rossant, his wife. James Rossant’s name will be new to many reading this journal. However, his reputation has been significant and is widely recognized, well known by those in his own field. Despite his achievements, and one would like to think more because of them, he was not the subject of a general popularity. He did not have to suffer the indignity of a broad assent founded on the shifting and quivering tides of mass sentiment, but rather had the respect of those whose acknowledgement is rooted in the understanding that comes of and is expressed in clear and formulated ideas.
