STYLE VaST’s work has been called modern, contemporary and eclectic. The studio’s aesthetic is inspired by the Bauhaus school, modernism, prairie style and the Case Study Program. Although our team doesn’t believe in creating a false sense of history, we do enjoy the challenge of working on projects in established neighborhoods and imbuing them with contemporary elements that harmonize with the surrounding architecture. Our ultimate goal is to create an environment that functions well, looks beautiful and uses resources wisely.

STRENGTHS Our team takes a holistic approach to design; identifying sustainable alternatives at every stage to create spaces that meet clients’ needs while decreasing the overall impact on the environment. We help clients make appropriate choices to maximize the potential of any given structure or interior. We work alongside the client to create spaces that are simple and efficient. The result — high quality projects constructed with materials that are sustainable, durable and easy to maintain.

SERVICE VaST provides architecture, planning, and interior design services. For commercial clients the VaST team also assists with graphic design, environmental graphics and space planning. We pride ourselves on providing prompt attention to every matter. Our objective is to design the most appropriate, stylish and energy-efficient project for the budget.

APPROACH As a full service studio VaST maintains involvement in all aspects of the design and construction processes.  We realize that to design a project that fits our clients’ needs we must first understand their desires, requirements, budget and taste — and we take our time to do so.  We also work closely with our clients to make sure the interior and the landscape are fully integrated with the architecture. We often assist clients in finding a General Contractor and negotiating a competitive contract  for their project.  Then our team stays with the project through construction.
