VIZION PROJECTS
“Where there is no vision, there is no hope.” - George Washington Carver
Vizion is the product of 30 years of personal/professional growth, development, sacrifice, and commitment; rooted in Iowa and cultivated around the nation. The common bond of the team is to provide boutique solutions for each opportunity we are fortunate enough undertake. There are no half measures in this equation, no matter the size or complexity of the project, you will receive the full attention of our partners and the wealth of experience that we bring to the table.
An axiom of great design, and of Vizion, is true collaboration. In such a condition, ideas are continuously generated, tested, challenge, and revised; regardless of their source of origin. Great ideas and perspectives can come from anywhere, but are subject to the same level of challenge and critical consideration, in order to ensure the strongest concepts, survive and are integrated appropriately.
Vizion is prone to collaboration with others of complementary skills and additive perspectives. Inside of each firm, not matter the size, there are specialists who excel at particular project & client typologies. We are not shy when it comes to procuring the right talent for a particular challenge, should the situation arise where it is an advantage to bring those resources onboard.
A key aspect to true collaboration is the expectation and acceptance of failure. If you aren’t failing, you aren’t trying hard enough to grow and learn. Keep in mind that failure is only temporary and is essential to the strength of a final solution. Just as a muscle become stronger by incrementally exceeding its limits, so must a concept endure the test of multi-facet critique. Although the aesthetic of the end result is eternally subjective, the performance of such is empirical…performing as required.
Storytelling to Placemaking
We are a national practice focused on advancing the industry of architecture/development by providing superior vision to client and partner opportunities.
Our focus is on projects that change communities by collaborating with entrepreneurs, developers, and land owners to facilitate those opportunities which provide lasting, positive impact to all parties involved or influenced.
PLAN
“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!”
― Benjamin Franklin
“When do I get an Architect involved?”
Engage well before you think you’ll need any assistance. The advantage of being a designer is having undertaken similar projects before and aware of the interrelated nature of all elements involved. When you’re a business owner, this may be your first…or perhaps second encounter with such conditions versus hundreds of such undertakings.
DESIGN
“Great things are not done by impulse, but a series of small things brought together.”
- Vincent Van Gogh
​
Design is not a singular motion or an isolated effort, it is the result of failed iterations; tested, revised and reexamined, repeatedly. There is no secret methodology to synthesizing a solution without doing the work. Through experience: failure or success, we may be able to speed the process, but we must always labor to produce.
​
Fortunately, we love what we do...let's design.
DEVELOP
All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work.
- Calvin Coolidge
​
Our mission is to spur new opportunities into existence in cooperation with like minded individuals, companies, communities and collaborators.
​
Utilizing our network of connections around the corner and around the nation, we cultivate and nurture concepts from seed to harvest. We're invested in the future of our team and yours.
