This guided walking tour will start at the Reston Museum in Lake Anne Village Center where attendees will be briefly introduced to the history of Reston, the First Village, and Hickory Cluster.
The group will pass through portions of Whittlesey & Conklin's Washington Plaza Cluster and Satterlee & Smith's Waterview Cluster, past the iconic high-rise Heron House, past several unique Gonzalo Fonseca sculptures created for the Reston First Village and located around Lake Anne and in Hickory Cluster, across the Van Gogh Bridge, then walk through 18 acres of Hickory Cluster common area on Reston's extensive paved footpaths and Youngren Bridge, to Goodman House Blocks 3, 1, and 2.
There, attendees will have the rare opportunity to step inside and explore two unique Goodman Houses described further in the guided tour booklet:
(1) A three-story Block 3 Model AC, a Hickory Cluster original 1960s sales model home, featured in a November 30, 1965 Look magazine article on Reston, and in a January 1965 At Home magazine cover story
(2) A two-story Block 2 Model AB, recently fully renovated and upgraded, overlooking the successful 2010-17 stream restoration project
The event will wrap up at the Lake Anne Cafe' Montmartre, owned and operated by a Hickory Cluster homeowner family, perfect for engaging conversations and networking.
At both Hickory Cluster and DC River Park, Goodman prophetically designed hundreds of modern living units to be air-conditioned using circulating closed loop water mechanically chilled down to as low as 45F by central geothermal district energy systems, similar to the chilled water system integrated into the 2024 Paris Olympics athletes village, and like hundreds of similar systems throughout the nation and world.
As guests of RELAC Water Cooling CEO and tour house homeowner Simon McKeown, MBA, the group will have the option to briefly visit the Reston RELAC plant in full operation on the way back to Lake Anne immediately following the Goodman House tours. For more information on the RELAC system serving Hickory Cluster, see both the RELAC webpage on this website, and the RELAC Water Cooling company website.
