Our Mission

To provide architectural design and planning services for all types of projects that promote the well-being of our clients and communities while enhancing the environment in which they are placed.

Architecture + Planning for Sustainable Living

Since 1987, Architectural Alternatives has provided architectural design and planning services for projects throughout Virginia, primarily in Southwest Virginia.

We design in consideration of the bigger picture of sustainable living, which to us means designing buildings and landscapes to promote the healthy well-being of our clients and communities, while enhancing and preserving the environment in which they are placed for the benefit of future generations.
Sustainable design and planning doesn’t mean doing more with less, it means doing different to achieve more. Different means focusing on client goals, partnering with others, meeting strict budgets, and implementing green practices that meet the client’s unique needs.

As a business we are a founding member of Go Green New River Valley (gogreennrv.com), and are working with others seeking to “green” their businesses.
