P.C. RICHARD & Son

RETAIL | Brooklyn, NEW YORK

VCA designs retail spaces informed by our client's brand.

We create retail spaces with the intention of showcasing the clients brand: we understand and communicate through architectural design how our client is unique in their industry. From the moment a target customer steps into a retail space by VCA, they will have an immediate sense of recognition with the client’s brand. We achieve this by ensuring that our designs are informed by the client’s comprehensive culture, vision, and image — we know our clients so that their customers can know them just as deeply.

We utilize the most current technologies and software to incorporate all technical project requirements — electrical, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and lighting — in order to create a complete design and construction package. We finish each design by incorporating a full spectrum of artistic graphics and signage.

PC RICHARD & SON

GREENVALE, NEW YORK

The PC Richard & Son of Greenvale, NY — a 38,000 sf space — was built from a pre-engineered structure in order to maximize efficiency and cost effectiveness for our client. This project is also notable in that we worked directly with the town of Greenvale to create a structure interwoven with the residential nature of the local community.

BEST BUY

HUNTINGTON, NEW YORK

We were the chief designer of this 30,000 sf prototype store. In addition to design, we were also the key force in getting zoning approval to remove an existing bank on the building site. Once the bank was removed, the zoning committee approved two buildings — the Best Buy and a new, smaller bank — on one lot.

We are always willing to advocate for our client while working with the local government to determine mutually beneficial solutions that work for both the client and the community.

we have completed seven best buy stores so far.

HOLMDEL COMMONS

We started our project with a 30,000 sf Best Buy store. As a result of the success of the store, we were invited to redesign the entire mall.

REVOLVE SPIN STUDIOS

NEW YORK

WENDY'S

PAWTUCKET, RHODE ISLAND

we have worked with wendy’s on seven of their buildings, including renovations of existing restaurants.

VCA fuses function with design. 

We develop a thorough program analysis of the client’s functional requirements and then translate those requirements into dynamic design. Our clients can explore the look and feel of their new office space before committing to construction: we bring our clients through a 3D walk-through experience. As a team, we are always willing to incorporate sections and details that meet our clients’ design ambition.

VCA examines the local context for all work.

We recognize that the appearance of a hospitality space should not only feel integrated with the vacationing environment, but should also mesh with the overarching design standards of the client’s brand. We have over a decade of experience executing on local alignment and brand recognition in the hospitality industry. Our work in this space has included both the private and the public sectors.

VCA believes the architecture of a learning space plays a vital role in education.

The educational environment provides a unique opportunity for creative architectural design. If the function of the space is plunging into the unknown through learning and using the newly acquired knowledge for the sake of creating, then the form of the space should reinforce that same ethos. We consider an educational space a success if it stands out as an artistic work in and of itself for the next generation to both recognize and interpret.

 CHARLES WANG ASIAN AMERICAN CENTER

VCA partners with clients to reimagine the home.

For over twenty years, we have worked on everything from ground up construction to home renovations across the country. Throughout this process, we keep the client engaged to guarantee that we correctly identify and execute on functional and design features for their newly envisioned home. We specialize in the “international style,” craftsman, Victorian, and colonial, but the breadth of our experience enables us to work outside of these aesthetics if so tasked. Furthermore, we are sensitive to home renovations that are harmonies with the pre-existing style of the residence.

VCA works beside communities to create cultural landmarks.

The voice of the community takes the lead on these projects so that the local values are accurately reflected in the design of their new cultural space.

VCA adapts the form of building to fit multiple functions.

As a community evolves over time, its structures need to evolve as well. In this transitory stage, buildings may be need to enable a variety of uses all at once. Our goal is to create structures that meet this need while also adhering to a clear, unified style that matches the context of the surrounding environment.

VCA channels our artistry to create a competitive edge.

We partake in architectural competitions in order to push ourselves: together, we explore new design concepts, experiment with unusual ideas, and hone our core competencies. Nothing else offers the level of freedom to venture into a new artistic expression like a competition, as it is solely the architect’s vision. In particular, we have experimented with light and visual perspectives in order to gauge their effects in sculptural forms. Every innovation enables us to better serve our future clients.
