COMMERCIAL ARCHITECTURE

Vanko Studio provides full-cycle commercial architecture services across multifamily, institutional (churches, non-profits, and cultural facilities), and industrial projects. Using cutting-edge computer aided design, we navigate complex zoning, building codes, and energy compliance to deliver efficient, sustainable designs that support client proformas and long-term success.

EXISTING CONDITIONS

Vanko Studio Architects offers high-accuracy laser scanning (LiDAR, drone, and photogrammetry) for detailed 3D documentation of existing buildings and sites. This technology supports condo conversions, historic preservation, workout/repossession, brokerage, and renovations by delivering reliable as-built data that reduces errors and accelerates project timelines.

FEASIBILITY & DUE DILIGENCE

Vanko Studio Architects provides thorough feasibility studies and due diligence to evaluate zoning potential, asset maximization, code constraints, and development potential. Our clear development analyses and proformas help clients assess risks, identify opportunities, and make confident decisions.

ASSET REPOSITIONING

Vanko Studio Architects unlocks value in under-performing properties through strategic repositioning. We combine zoning analysis, laser documentation, and creative design to facilitate refinances, conversions, and value-add renovations—transforming distressed assets into high-performing investments.
