Village Architecture & Preservation

Exciting morning kicking off field survey in #UnionTownship, where VA&P's team will be designing renovations to an existing unfinished Board Room. Walls and floors will be refurbished, ceiling insulation will be covered, a massive historical truss will be cleaned and exposed, doors will be replaced, an accessible restroom will be installed, and a deteriorated accessible entry will be replaced. This ca. 1913 building was once a central school for what is now the Daniel Boone Area School District, and is now home to the municipal Administration Building, a real estate office, preschool, and art studio. We love the unique challenges that come with designing new uses for existing spaces. Stay tuned... #BerksCounty #MunicipalBuilding #AccessibilityRenovation #MeetingRoom

This Week in Project History: Flashing back to the final construction phase of an exciting commercial renovation and addition project with Tom Zeigler, PE. This one-story pharmacy was in need of additional customer and employee space for its growing business. The team designed an interior renovation for the first floor including new work and storage space, as well as a second floor addition with stock area, restroom, laboratory, work areas, and employee break room. The design required strict adherence to industry specifications for laboratory safety and sanitation. Impressive transformation, don't you think? #FlashbackFriday #PharmacyRenovation #CommercialAddition

Proud to be a sponsor of today's @TriCountyAreaChamberofCommerce REACH Luncheon, featuring E.

Great networking with colleagues old and new, while enjoying an insightful presentation by Dr. Ramsey. #SocialNetworking #Communication #GenderStudies #BetterTogether

"Thank You" is an inadequate expression of gratitude to the colleagues, personal connections, and most of all, my amazing clients, who have journeyed with me these past thirteen years and made my work so exciting and fulfilling. I appreciate each and every one of you, for your encouragement, your professionalism, and your creativity. So, for lack of a better word, "Thank You." Let's keep doing great work together. #Gratitude #ProfessionalJourney #BusinessAnniversary #ClientAppreciation #CreativeConnections #MilestoneMoments

On #NationalPhilanthropyDay, we recognize the meaningful impact of giving and the role it plays in shaping our communities and future. Philanthropy, in its many forms, reflects our collective responsibility to uplift one another and invest in the common good. Toward that goal, one of my recent personal callings has been to serve in a design advisory role on our church's Prayer Garden Committee - a mission created to bring our congregation, as well as neighbors and community members of all faiths, together in a space of peace, hope, and reflection. Today, we celebrate those who dedicate their time, treasure, and talents to causes that drive positive change. By fostering generosity, we can build a more equitable and sustainable world, empowering marginalized communities and future generations to thrive. Let's continue to support and inspire each other in this ongoing journey of hope and progress. What's your favorite way to give back? #Volunteerism #CommunityService #SocialImpact #FaithInAction #BeTheChange

via #AugustineHomeImprovement, drywall is underway for our #WestBradford #HomeRenovation clients. This existing ranch home will have a new open plan layout, with a larger kitchen & flexible dining area, expanded primary bath & closet, new hall bath, and relocated laundry and office. The existing garage floor was raised and insulated to become a sitting area adjacent to the new front entry and covered porch. The existing sunroom will be reconstructed with all new energy-efficient insulated walls, roof, and windows on the same foundation. Reconfiguring existing spaces can be challenging, but we've managed to check off the homeowners' wish list without expanding the primary building footprint. #RanchHome #InteriorRenovation #HomeRemodel #OpenPlan #ChesterCounty

On this day 1 year ago, we were completing our field survey of a property that had suffered significant fire damage, resulting in necessary demolition down to the foundation. VA&P worked with the homeowner to design a 3,200 s.f. dream home reconstruction, including a great room with stone fireplace, open kitchen with bay window breakfast nook, powder room, laundry and butler's pantry, mud room, 2-car garage, and an open stair to second floor sleeping areas and primary bedroom suite. The existing rear deck was restored with new railings, and we created a new covered front porch and gables with heavy timber accents. #FlashbackFriday #HomeSweetHome #HomeRestoration #ModernFarmhouse #EastFallowfield #ChesterCounty
