We are a Philadelphia and New York-based team of forty architects, planners, and designers who believe great architecture comes from innovation within the context of tradition.
VMA draws inspiration from traditional building principles to create architecture that responds to the places and organizations we engage with. We strive to reach a deep understanding of the social, cultural, and physical contexts of the project, in order to design solutions that reflect our clients’ heritage, values, and aspirations. Guided by our core values: innovation, beauty, and sustainability, we craft exceptional architecture that considers each project’s long-term environmental impact for future generations.
