VMDA has over 25 years of client service in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. We thrive on the excitement and enthusiasm associated with the process of bringing a project to successful completion.

It is truly amazing to see ideas go from words on paper, to a pencil sketch, to hardline drawings, and finally culminate with the final product that will endure for many years.

Our design approach results from a process of communication between client and architect. We actively listen to the visions, wishes, needs and budgetary parameters of our clients.

We become intimately acquainted with site, climate, landscape and topography, so as to design effectively within the natural environment.

You can expect to be an integral part of the design team. We will work along side you to transform your words, ideas and feelings into a physical reality.

We will provide the technical expertise, design experience and professional leadership background to help you achieve success in your endeavor.

We look forward to working with you!
