Mission Statement:

Architectural Visions, PLLC is a full service architectural design firm that specializes in sustainable, innovative, high quality design. We are dedicated to improving the quality of life of our clients by providing custom designed buildings, restoration of buildings and Site Analysis solutions for any project. Our goal is to listen to our clients, determine their needs, and provide each project with the time required to meet those needs. We believe that all of our projects deserve the proper amount of attention no matter how small or large.

Core Values:

Architectural Visions, PLLC and its staff work toward maintaining a reputable and untarnished reputation in the various communities through actively subscribing to the following set of core values:

Professionalism – We aim to consistently produce thorough, accurate, and precise architectural drawings, renderings, and models. We always strive to listen empathically so that we can fully understand the needs and concerns of our clients and the communities we work in.

Respect - Respect all people. Respect their ideas, their culture, their views, their health and safety, and their knowledge.

Integrity - Integrity is non negotiable. We do not do it if it compromises the individual or the company's integrity.

Innovation - Challenge and seek to find a better solution using state-of-the-art technology. Think outside the box, and dare to do things differently. Be innovative and creative- don't just do things because we did it yesterday.

Collaboration - Redefine the way our business works by truly sharing knowledge, building on this and drawing insights. Through teamwork, we value the insights of others and build on them - we must truly take the time to help.

Excellence - We strive for excellence in all we do. It is evident not only in the services we deliver but in how we deliver them. Our employees embody excellence in every decision they make.

Sustainability - We understand the importance of "green" building and preserving our Earth for many future generations to enjoy. We realize that building materials and the energy required to produce them are not unlimited. Therefore, it is our responsibility to make conscious decisions that incorporate "green" building, intelligent building, and energy efficiency. Going "green" can save a tremendous amount of money on energy costs.

Architecture is a powerful cultural icon – as cultural monuments indicative of their period and its aspirations.

Successful architecture must position itself clearly along the spectrum of past, present, and future. Buildings must meet today's and tomorrow's needs. To work over the long term, a great facility must ennoble the past, enhance the present, and provide for the future by balancing continuity and change. This is achieved through thoughtful programmatic considerations and flexibility in planning. Good solutions must meet functional needs with creative responses to aesthetics and budget. Visual unified design concepts must be consciously conceived. The building must be a part of its surroundings and read as a totality where the sum is not greater than the parts. Unity comes from internal rhythm, the building and materials, a sensitive appreciation of the site facilities, and using the ground in a proper way.

Our diverse staff provides the knowledge and expertise for each individual project commencing with thorough inspection and site analysis, representation at all municipal boards to obtain project approval, and the ground breaking and ribbon cutting ceremonies. We have a wealth of experience, having successfully accomplished residential, commercial, municipal, industrial, and institutional projects.
