Virtually all modifications to the exterior of your home must have the prior approval of the Reston Association. The process for obtaining this approval is known as the Design Review process.
This process is not difficult, but it does require some advance planning. The best way to avoid problems is to submit your application as soon as you have decided to undertake a project, and to work with the Reston Association staff. Most problems result from waiting until the last minute to file the application.
Each type of modification, from air conditioners to windows, has specific guidelines for how it should be done and what approvals are required. Reading the guideline for your specific project should be the first step in the process.
Some information specific to our cluster is below. Note that this information is unofficial; Reston Association maintains the official design guidelines for all cluster associations.
