We believe architecture
is an evolution and everyday, things are changing.
Form follows Function.
We are in a profession with a passion to provide class A design services that yield unique solutions for corporate and private clients based on their requirements, goals and budgets. You determine your goals, and we design to it.
We believe a building or interior design should be the result of the client’s vision, not the architect or interior designer’s wish-list. Our task at hand is to take your vision and turn it into an exciting spacial reality.
Over 50 years of professional architectural services.
VISION
You determine your goals. We design to accomplish them.
Rooted in the belief that good design is born from balancing architectural passions and project requirements, VIA offers visionary ground-up services to private and corporate clients. Founded in 2021 by George Perham, VIA combines 50 years of professional design and management services and a collaborative approach to connecting exterior and interior experiences.
“A successful building design is one in which form follows function, both inside and out—beautifully and naturally combining structure and purpose.”
– George Perham
George and his partner Stephanie Barbagiovanni share the same philosophical beliefs, and embrace the evolution of architectural needs while offering Class A design services that deliver award-winning outcomes for clients based on goals and budgets.
“Each design solution should be unique to each client. Design must be representative of the company’s brand, culture, and message.”
– Stephanie Barbagiovanni
EXPERIENCE
We accept any challenge, at any pace.
In today’s environment, projects need to be executed and completed in many ways, with many different deliverables, and many changing timelines. If experience has taught us anything over the course of five decades, it has affirmed that most things are possible, given the right team, a creative approach to problem solving, and the belief that great design usually requires architects to overcome terrific challenges.
In addition to working on many of our own projects, VIA also serves as on-call architects for a wide range of corporate partners, including Marcus Partners, Baywater Properties, Newtown Savings Bank, Windsor Management Corporation, Webster Bank, Colony Grill, Time Equities, and many others, extending the firm’s reach from New York to Massachusetts, San Francisco to Arkansas, Maryland to Virginia, Florida to Washington D.C., and beyond.
CULTURE
No one design fits all.
VIA’s culture provides creativity and flexibility to its staff of designers and architects. Our office was created to purposefully stimulate collaboration amongst teams and to encourage the autonomous sharing of ideas and inspiration.
As the VIA staff knows, no one design fits all. Each project requires some level of reaching and bending to achieve client needs. Our team is incredibly adept at mapping out the process to align with client goals. Their many years of combined experience have provided them with the toolkit, knowledge, and agility required to execute their services in the face of ever-changing project needs.
Masterplanning
Master planning is the method of developing or improving your property, interior or building through a long-range plan that balances and harmonizes all elements. This process is done at the very beginning of the project and helps you define and unify the vision for the space.
A master plan is an overarching planning document and spatial layout which is used to structure land use and development or the size and shape of your interior’s space. ‘Master plan’ is an all-encompassing term. Its scope can range from 10-year implementation to an illustrative plan of small-scale interior spaces.
We are master planners on the design side for clients that need direction and guidance in maintaining, growing, or moving their business. Let us help you plan ahead as you develop, grow and / or move your business into the future.
Corporate Architecture
Corporate architecture is an architectonic discipline which focuses on designing buildings, spaces, or environments with the aim of meeting the needs of a client so they in turn can provide their services to the business community they are serving.
We are Architects and Designers with a passion to design to your specific needs within your timeline and budget. We will provide the required services and scope from beginning to end, to whatever extent you need. Together we can create a building or interior environment that meets your goals with a vision that will artistically express your needs, mission, and culture.
Corporate Interiors
Corporate Interiors is a very specific and overlapping component of Corporate Architecture. It is designing with a focus in creating interior designs for professional workplaces from a small office setting to large scale corporations within high-rise buildings.
We have the successful history of close to 50 years of designing for Developers owning a single or multiple buildings providing the necessary design services with strict adherence to their work letter and / or building standards. We have the same amount of successful experience working directly with corporations seeking to remain, expand or move into a developer-owned building but want more in a design solution than the typical work letter or building standard.
Our clients range in goals and we love the adventure of each and every one.
