MULTIFAMILY AMENITY RENOVATION | LEESBURG, VIRGINIA

---

Windsor Leesburg is a full-floor amenity transformation that the National Apartment Association named its 2026 Major Rehab Community of the Year, the highest national honor for a renovated apartment community. Design by DuBois led the interior design and FF&E for Windsor Communities and GID, turning a dated, underused amenity level into one of the strongest repositioning stories in the country.

The community sits in the Village at Leesburg, Virginia, walkable to its shops and restaurants, but the amenity floor no longer matched the lifestyle just outside its doors. Spaces were dated and compartmentalized, entire rooms sat unused, and the corridors were so dark that most residents never realized the amenities were down there. We were brought in to rethink the entire resident experience as one connected, hospitality-grade environment, and to make every square foot earn its place.

The work went well beyond finishes. We combined forgotten and underused rooms and gave each a real purpose, designed around the large structural columns running through the floor rather than fighting them, and resolved an existing step-down with a safe, intentional ADA transition. Wide-plank white oak runs throughout, a reworked fireplace in modern materials anchors the lobby, and charcoal-framed bypass glass brings both light and security to the spaces that need them. Custom artwork commissioned for the residential building lobbies, layered furnishings, and a refreshed paint program tie the community together with a clear sense of place.
