About Us
JVArchitecture works closely with the client to creatively resolve the “why” and “where”; so a contractor can readily determine the “how” and “when” of building. JVArchitecture believes in architecture as an art form derived by site specifics, program, and a command of building materials and methods. Our process oriented methodologies arrive at design solutions that uniquely respond to the client’s needs and budget. Every aspect of design is balanced by over 30 years experience in the design / build industry composed of sound construction practices and innovative sustainable solutions.
How We Got Started
Upon securing my architectural degree, I was fortunate to find my first job as a designer and construction manager for a mid size developer in planning, designing, and building retail / commercial projects thru out the southwest and northwest regions of America.

I have been blessed with very good clients who are also dealing with this new way of life and doing business. I send my plans to clients via PDF and we talk on the phone to discuss the project edits and or additions. Local municipalities are also allowing Architects to submit their plans to City Plan Check digitally via PDFs. Somehow we are ALL making this work to continue life and business. We evolve or die.

As an Architect working from home/office has not really changed much due to the quarantine. Had to utilize online means of reviewing plans with client. Most of our work is transmitted by PDF; however many City plan check departments are not equipped to review plans online etc. Securing building permits is getting dicey.
