VLA specializes in residential and small-scale commercial projects set in the urban, coastal, and rural landscapes of Northern California. We have additional experience in hospitality and cultural projects, and at times design custom furniture and mosaics.
Before founding VLA, Valentina worked for Marmol Radziner in Los Angeles and San Francisco, managing complex residential and commercial projects that emphasized the integration of architecture, landscape, and meticulous construction. Her background includes years of mosaic design and fabrication in the south of France and apprenticeships with MAD Architecture in Petaluma, California, and Kengo Kuma and Associates in Tokyo, Japan.
Valentina completed her undergraduate studies at UCLA and holds master’s degrees in both Architecture and Interior Architecture from the University of Oregon. She is a licensed architect in California.
