To complement Loudoun’s great natural beauty, and to reinforce its sense of place, identity, and community, the Loudoun County Design Cabinet aims to encourage the highest quality physical design including urban, architectural, landscape, and ecological design.  To assist the Department of Economic Development, the Cabinet provides a forum for discussion and advice on design related issues, projects, and opportunities. A volunteer group of architects and urban designers, the Cabinet may also undertake special design related projects that provide significant community benefit.
