Architecture is about more than buildings – it’s about shaping the environments where daily life unfolds. Whether it’s a school, hospital, transit hub or civic institution, STV designs environments that support well-being, foster connection and respond to the evolving needs of our communities. Our philosophy is rooted in human experience: thoughtful design that inspires belonging, dignity, long-term performance and resilience.

STV’s architectural practice spans every design phase – from early programming and schematic design to design development and construction documentation. We offer integrated services that combine architecture, interior design, planning and multidisciplinary engineering to bring complex buildings to life. Our team collaborates across disciplines to deliver high-performing, efficient and impactful projects at every scale.

Our national portfolio includes new buildings, adaptive reuse, renovations and expansions across a wide range of sectors – including education, healthcare, justice, transportation, corporate and commercial, state and municipal facilities and federal programs. We also work on historic preservation and restoration projects, applying care and creativity to honor each building’s historic integrity while adapting it for future use. From behavioral health centers to STEM classrooms to secure government facilities, we design social infrastructure that serves the public and unlocks potential.
