We are thrilled to announce that VIA has been awarded the T. David Fitz-Gibbon Virginia Architecture Firm Award by AIA Virginia!

The Fitz-Gibbon is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a Virginia-based architecture firm. It recognizes firms who are not only known for the quality of their work but who have consistently demonstrated outstanding contributions to the profession and the community. Only one firm may be honored each year (if at all), and we are truly humbled to be the first recipient in five years!

At VIA, we believe that architecture is more than just building structures; it is about shaping the future. Guided by our core principles of future-focused design, client-centricity, and community-driven initiatives, we strive to create architecture that not only shapes the built environment but also positively impacts the lives of those who interact with it. These principles are reflected in every project we undertake, from innovative sustainable practices to nurturing the next generation of architects. As the firm has evolved, we’ve maintained a commitment to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment where aspiring architects can learn and grow. This award serves as a validation of our approach and a testament to the hard work, dedication, and talent of the entire VIA team.

We would like to thank AIA Virginia for this prestigious honor. We are grateful for the support and recognition of our peers and are excited about the opportunities this award presents for our team as a whole!
