“We seek to develop unique designs specific to each client’s vision. What gives us real joy is to see the excitement and pride in our clients at what we are able to accomplish together. Our biggest gratification is hearing our clients tell the story of how their building reflects their mission. This passion is what makes us unique. Everything we design is with our client’s mission in mind first and foremost.”
--John Jessen, AIA, NCARB, IIDA

"We believe that built environments should reflect context, history, cultures, communities and the natural environment while incorporating advances in technology. We are committed not only to wasting less, but to creating regenerative designs which heal their local environments and their occupants. Across every office and discipline our goal is to create this kind of positive change - change for our client's businesses, brands and organizations - and change for our society and generations to come."
--Rebel Roberts, AIA, NCARB, ACHA

"VOA is committed to our corporate and civic responsibility to “give back” to the communities we serve in our work all over the world. Our culture is service and relationship-driven. This is what defines VOA."
--Mike Toolis, AIA, LEED AP

“The services we provide extend far beyond the traditional blueprint of the architect-client relationship. We strive to act as a business partner with each client, providing innovative, progressive, responsible and intelligent architecture that addresses their vision for success. The integrity of our client's values, the quality of the work experience for our team, and a deep respect for the people who build our designs are the underpinning values that guide our office on a day-to-day basis.”
--Jonathan Douglas, AIA
