Vine Projects expands the scope of the architectural project into the full
design of life.

We provide a full suite of architectural design, interior design, project management, furnishing, and art acquisition services for residential, commercial, and community-based projects. Our work always evokes a spirit of place.

Our projects draw on a deep understanding of form, material, historical precedent, craft, and fabrication. We build lasting relationships with our clients, for whom we design space and experience from buildings down to daily rituals.
 
Vine Projects values the heritage of existing spaces and buildings, breathing fresh life into them with soul and character. We restore where others might replace. We honor clarity, structure, patina, and where appropriate, imperfection. We approach every design process with curiosity and ambition, to create enduring spaces that inspire and exceed expectations.
