COLLABORATIVE PROCESS
“Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.”
– Le Corbusier
We are a small boutique, full-service design firm in Florida, and the state of Washington, devoted to architecture that is simple, clean, beautiful and sustainable, with emphasis in comfort, durability, and a close connection to the beautiful and warm sub-tropical outdoors, through a process that reflect that simplicity.
Our designs, whether new construction, minor or major remodels, are explored, developed, and created in very close collaboration with the owners, and meticulously tailored to their needs and wishes.
Even before any preliminary designs are presented, a dozen or so design parameters are already considered to ensure success. From potential costs and feasibility studies to zoning laws and regulations, all these are already factored in. Equally with the macrovision of each project is VANCHZ’s careful attention to interior and exterior details.
HONEST LISTENING. THOROUGH ANALYSIS
Hell, there are no rules here; We're trying to accomplish something.
- Thomas Edison
We offer a very personalized service and encourage our clients to question every option and every possibility through our very simple and laid back process of design.
We enjoy the collaboration process in which all stakeholders in a project can learn so much from each other, and the end result is a beautiful and responsible project that talks to its context, its inhabitants and passersby, as well as a sincere and long lasting friendship.
CREATIVE THINKING. DESIGN SOLUTIONS
Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you anywhere.
- Albert Einstein
Accustomed to explore all the possibilities a site has to offer, we push the boundaries of creativity and convert constrains into tools for opportunities. Our solutions are the results of a fun exploration comprised of owner’s needs and desires, unique site opportunities, geographic analysis, and the use of the latest technology to generate exceptional projects that are holistic and possess a sense of place and a permanent reminder that high quality architecture is in fact timeless.
Architecture is not about problem solving, it is about exploring and finding unknown opportunities to enhance life and the built environment.
