Present Day
It’s a few minutes past seven a.m. and I’m running behind.
Clutching my Hydro Flask filled with Purity coffee, I arrive at work.
My footsteps echo off the sleek, polished floors of the breathtaking new
contemporary lobby of VA/VT. My clothes, slacks and dress shirt are made
out of organic, socially-responsible fabric.
Last night, because I worked until midnight, my car wasn’t fully charged
by the time I’d hoped to leave this morning. Facing a full schedule of
important meetings and appointments, I was forced to wait for it to finish.
Nothing bugs me more than being late. Very unprofessional.
But, as a devout green architect, I’m hyperaware every choice I make—
from the food I eat to the clothes I wear—is a reflection of my values. I take
sustainability seriously. It’s not only my brand, but my lifestyle.
Despite the time, or lack thereof, I can’t help but stop for a moment. My
eyes sweep the room from the half-moon reception counter to the arched
bronze chandeliers to the striking curved staircase leading to the executive
offices. Though the color scheme is neutral—classic grays and creams—the
mixture of textures and materials give the entire space a bright, edgy feel.
It’s stunning. Truly stunning.
I did this.
It wasn’t long ago when I had a simple vision. A dream. A mission.
I was determined to build a firm specializing in designing gorgeous,
sustainable net-zero commercial buildings.
My environmentally conscious design philosophy isn’t unique. Unless
you’re living under a rock, every modern architect understands the
importance of using less water, energy, and other natural resources. Most
people in the construction industry are committed to employing renewable
energy sources and eco-friendly materials to reduce emissions and eliminate
waste.
What sets VA/VT apart, however, is how we’re better at it. Partially
because of the proprietary software I invented. The way it enables us to
create healthy, comfortable and resource-efficient spaces in a cost-effective
manner is unprecedented. Even better, the software seamlessly integrates
with government and regulatory bodies, making permitting and inspections
a breeze.
Not only do I have several patents, but I license the technology—at a very
steep price—to some of the biggest firms in the world. Hence, the name of
my company. VA for Vander Architecture. VT for its sister company, Vander
Technologies. We’re also focused on long-term impact, collaborating with
governmental and regulatory bodies across the US to create policy change
and incentives to build green.
Ten years ago, little did I know my unique outlook on planning, design,
and construction would propel my career into the stratosphere.
As I approach the conference room where my team is waiting for me, I
feel proud. It isn’t an ordinary day. The decisions we make at this meeting
will redefine my design career. Cement my name in history. Change my
legacy for not only me but my future family.
I’ll finally leave my past behind
