Craft
Our dedication to craft means we are constantly looking to expand our knowledge about how to make our buildings better for our clients and communities.
Design Quality
Design quality means not only developing beautiful detailing, but also delivering buildings that can be easily maintained, that fluidly adapt to ever-changing needs, and that grow more beautiful over time. We take care to invest in stakeholder engagement, to steward the project budget, to coordinate our design documentation, and to nurture relationships with build partners.
Placemaking
We believe architectural details at all scales should reinforce a common design language that is sensible in application and beautiful in expression. Hierarchy and order situate students and community members at the center of a place where they find resonance with broader environmental and social contexts.
Streamlined Delivery
VMDO has experience with all types of delivery methods, including design-build delivery, integrated project delivery, CM-at-Risk, CM Agency, and design-bid-build. A commitment to quality documentation and scrupulous construction administration ensures that creative and transformative design ideas become a reality.
