What We Do

Architecture

We provide architectural services for residential, institutional and commercial projects and focus on designing beautiful and sustainable architecture with a modern sensibility. We also enjoy renovating and creating sensitive additions to historic projects, situating new elements elegantly within their context.

Testimonial

“We worked with STOA to design and build a major renovation of our home in Charlottesville -- including the creation of a new two story addition (kitchen / dining on first floor, master suite above). As an architecture firm, STOA did an amazing job of listening, helping us refine our goals, and ultimately delivering a beautiful, functional, and cost-effective design. STOA also served as our contractors on the job which also went very well. Job was finished on time and on budget. We've been in our new home for several years since the work was completed and continue to be thrilled with the design and quality of work. We will definitely hire STOA again in the future for any subsequent projects. Highly recommended!”

Construction

STOA DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION is a full service architecture and construction firm based in Charlottesville, Virginia. Architecture is our main field, but we also provide construction services with an in-house staff of professional builders. High craftsmanship and attention to detail is our enduring goal and we can build an entire project from the foundation to the finished cabinetry. STOA holds a Class A Contractors License.

Design/Build

Successful projects require teamwork and the STOA team brings single point accountability to every project it undertakes. The traditional method of Design-Bid-Build delivery does not offer the correct level of information at appropriate times which prevents value-based decisions and, ultimately, the best possible outcomes. In contrast, the Design-Build process gives the design team and stakeholders the tools necessary to make crucial decisions affecting cost and constructibility early in the process. Overlapping the design and estimating processes shortens project timelines, improves control of the design and reduces wasted time and money associated with re-work. Design-Build is faster, more collaborative, more focused on project goals and easier for the owner to navigate.
