Our female-led team draws upon a universal curiosity, harmony and element of surprise. Our palette is light, color, texture and unexpected contours in a new modernism that taps into the Ancient.
VSA designs family homes, resilient apartment buildings and inventive pavilions. Our home designs give expansive comfort while also attaching to an integrated design concept that weaves through all aspects, from structure to interior textiles, to landscape. In our effort to deepen a sense of place, we work with the client to explore imaginative, site-inspired narratives we build into the setting. Each VSA project marries logic with sensuality. On an array of scales, from a wellness center in Southern California to a Manhattan high rise apartment, our designs revitalize and reimagine.
