About V|A
V|A is an architectural practice in Geneva, which emerged from Knight Frank Switzerland in 2020. We operate in the field of architecture and interior design and are committed to providing contemporary solutions to architectural challenges, placing people at the center of design.
Philosophy
Verticité is the ability of an element to orient itself in a preferred direction, like the directional force of a magnet. As a reinterpretation of the old term, we offer architectural services and advice to our clients with the will to orient ourselves to their specific needs, analyzing their aspiration and culture. We offer each client the guidance he needs to develop the best solution for him. The objective is to find the most suitable path to create the ideal environment for the future while respecting our values and existing constraints as well as responding to current tendencies and applying local and international standards.
