Reinventing Jefferson's Village

Our Founding Father Envisioned a Nation of Villages

Atwood Village
A village center created for Crozet...

Sprawling metropolis was probably not something our founders could imagine. They saw a nation made up of villages were agriculture and industry were more localized. Today the opportunity exists to convert some of our old strip malls into centers for villages. Here is one developed by one of my clients that I helped visualize.

Concept for reuse of the old Martha Jefferson Hospital... Your new corporate headquarters?

It's time to get ready. Virginia will soon be promoting its pro-business atmosphere to the world. Here are some examples of concept development that I've done for reuse of existing properties that are opportunities waiting for people to come and fill. When you are ready to promote these opportunities Concept Development services give you an affordable way to give prospective clients the big picture.

It's Not About the Picture...

...it's About Changing the Picture!

Change the Picture!
Vacancy rates remain high as the Fed declares recession ending.

When is the recession over for you? It is when your projects have wind in their sails again. How can an architectural presentation service help end the recession? We can provide quick visuals that help your potential client 'see' themselves in your project. We've helped put NPR's new studio in Charlottesville into one of our client's spaces and we can do the same for you.

Get some ideas at Our Web Site and call us.

Traditional Rendering Today

How to Create a Concept in Short Order

This site will explore some ways traditional drawing methods can be used to develop and present concept architecture. Here is a refreshing approach to restyling existing buildings and addressing infill.

It's also cost effective. You supply the loose concept and we flesh it out right in your office. These renderings can be developed quickly and give you an advantage in early presentations.
