Vinci Hamp Architects (VHA) is a Chicago-based architecture practice founded in 1995 by John Vinci and Philip Hamp. VHA is committed to enhancing the built environment by preserving historic buildings and designing new buildings of the highest quality.
Historic architecture, through its materials, details, scale, and proportion, contributes to a rich and pleasing built environment. These buildings should be preserved, both for their historical significance and their adaptability to other contemporary uses. VHA has extensive experience in historic architecture, both as an advocate for Chicago's buildings and as the architect of numerous preservation and reuse projects.
VHA's new buildings demonstrate that contemporary architecture develops through simple expressions of function, structure, and materials. Like the finest buildings of the past, our new buildings emphasize dignified spaces, refined proportions, and quality materials. We strive to create buildings with clear organization, sound construction, and a timeless quality in their forms and details.
