VHGA creates cultural, educational and commercial architectural projects that enrich the lives of our clients and their constituents. Every structure deserves a form as unique as its purpose. At VHGA, we believe a well-designed building is far more than the aesthetically pleasing marriage of glass, stone and steel. A building is where people gather to work, learn, discover and explore. Because of that, it is our mission to create structures that not only please the eye, but inspire the soul.  

Founded in 1976, Van H. Gilbert Architect is a full service architectural firm. VHGA provides planning, architecture and interior design services. As a firm, our approach to each project is unique and reflects the goals and needs of the user.
