Van Dang-O’Callaghan
We had been working on an extensive home renovation project for a few years before a friend referred us to JDV Architecture LLC. Our project included a complete teardown of an existing building and a new build within the same footprint. Working with Juan at JDV Architecture was a breath of fresh air after we had a long, unsuccessful and negative experience with a local architecture firm. Although we strictly worked long-distance with Juan, he was much easier to work with than our previous local architect. He listened to our wants and needs thoughtfully and offered his professional advice when required. Juan was able to complete our project quickly and efficiently and addressed change requests in a timely manner. Communication between us, Juan and our contractor was seamless. We cannot say enough great things about Juan and JDV Architecture and highly recommend their services! More...

JDV Architecture was a dream to work with from start to finish. We gut remodeled/moved walls/deleted a bathroom and created a new bedroom within the existing footprint of our 2600 square foot home. All of JDV’s spacial planning ideas looked great on plans, but the final product was even better. Start to finish JDV made this large and extensive remodel easy to manage. More...
What do you love most about your job?
Architecture allows me to create, contribute, and shape the world through thoughtful design. We are able to create resilient communities and thoughtful infill that strengthens the city and its diverse neighborhoods. Each project brings unique problems and challenges that need to be resolved in a manner that provides beautiful work on schedule and on budget.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I am driven by a deep passion to serve clients and provide elegant context driven design. Whether it’s a small kitchen remodel to new building construction, my enthusiasm fuels my desire to create something meaningful in the world.
Why should our clients choose you?
We have the professional experience to bring clarity and direction to the project, advocate for clients throughout the design and construction process, and drive the project home. I am excited for the potential opportunity to work with you and look forward to providing the best possible service and design for your next project.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Absolutely! We have worked with many clients remotely and provide excellent service throughout all phases of the process. We embrace the technological tools such as video conferencing and digital whiteboards available to communicate effectively with clients.
PROGRAMMING
This initial phase establishes the basic parameters of the project. This may involve choosing a property, establishing program elements, or establishing a basic scope of work.
SCHEMATIC DESIGN
Study your needs and prepare architectural plans to transform your ideas into the built form. We explore floor plans, building massing, and elevations. At the end of this phase, we have basic plans with which an experienced contractor can build a project budget.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
We engage you, your contractor, our engineers, and other stakeholders in the project to refine and develop your project. Detailed decisions are made in order to ensure all systems and spaces work together in harmony.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION
We continue to refine your vision by developing construction details, and prepare to submit for building and other permits as required by the project’s scope.
PERMIT REVIEW
We handle the permit review process with the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) that will review your project for conformance with local and state building codes. We work with building and planning officials to ensure that your voice is heard and so that your project can be realized as intended.
CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
During construction (especially when working on existing buildings) questions and unexpected surprises come up. We’re there to answer questions from you or your contractor, and to work quickly to find solutions to any issues. We continue to stay involved as needed until you move into your building. We also like to check in with you in the following months and years to see how the building is working for you.
