Ballard + Mensua Architecture has been named Best Residential Architect in Vienna, Virginia by Home Builder Digest. The recognition highlights the firm’s commitment to designing distinctive custom homes, historic renovations, and additions of all sizes across the Washington, D.C. region.

Home Builder Digest praised the firm for providing turnkey design services and maintaining close relationships with trusted builders, vendors, and craftsmen who share a dedication to detail and quality. The feature showcased a standout project: the renovation of a historic Victorian farmhouse in Vienna. For this project, Ballard + Mensua developed a multi-phase plan to help the client—who relocated from South Carolina—grow into the home over time. Completed improvements include an expanded family room, a new main-level master suite, and an enlarged porch roof to seamlessly tie the additions together.

This honor underscores Ballard + Mensua’s reputation for creating timeless residential architecture tailored to each client’s vision and lifestyle.
