The Belvedere, completed in 1988 on an optimum hilltop site in Rosslyn, Virginia, was skillfully designed to complement its environment. The elegant European architecture features a combination of brick and glass that maximizes the beautiful sights of downtown Washington, DC while minimizing the unwanted distraction and commotion of the city. The Belvedere’s two buildings, 17 and 18 stories, respectively, hold a total of 525 luxury condominium units. Over 30 floor plans were made available to the buyers, all designed to be both functional and untraditionally attractive. The terraces are offered in three distinct and appealing choices, including a conventional fresh-air terrace, a romantic Shakespeare-inspired balcony with majestic columns, and a convenient glass-enclosed sunroom that enlarges the year-round living space of the condominium, an option that has repeatedly been a best-seller in Holle & Lin’s projects. In addition, The Belvedere offers to its owners and tenants such shared luxuries as a circular entrance surrounding a golden fountain, a rooftop observation deck, an elaborate greenhouse spa, and extensive terraced decks.
