Jay Vanos Architects is a collaboration based architectural design firm founded in 1999 by Jay Vanos. At JVA we believe that architectural design is a community activity, and that our best projects and ideas are the result of vigorous conversations among highly motivate individuals.
JVA has had a 12 year history of participating in the successful production of remarkable architectural projects, including small medium and large single family residences for specific individuals, large multi family and mixed use projects for developers, and commercial structures for business.
JVA understands that architectural design is a service, and that careful attention to clients needs and desires is how we succeed. We acquire the vast majority of our new work through referrals from previous clients, whether they be residential, multi-family or commercial.
Our work takes into account the entirety of the context of the proposed project; including the site, our clients needs and current construction technologies to produce work which is appropriate for its use and of its time.
We believe that buildings are of a time and place, and that it is one of the principle roles of architecture to establish a strong, vibrant, and living connection between people and where they are. It is our belief that 'where' we are is a significant part of 'who' we are.
Our goals are to produce vibrant, cost effective and environmentally sensitive places for people to engage in the actions of their lives.
