Mission

Our work is interested in re-appropriating paradigms of design typology through creative interventions. We want to inspire a discourse on how we occupy public domain by forming opportunities for social inhabitation. Part of this mission to investigate and transform the built environment, is to implement innovative techniques, new methods of make and sustainable systems.

Experience

VA | DESIGN offers years of experience leading creative teams on various projects from concept to realization with the pursuit toward design excellence. The practice offers a successful track record of built projects while collaborating successfully with our partners, clients and consultants. For each development, we will facilitate a constant dialogue between all constituencies to effectively lead a synergized design development marked by a seamless flow of ideas, strategies and solutions pertaining to all aspects of the project large and small.
