Our Approach

At Pete J. Vallas, A.I.A., Architect, we take a unique approach to architecture. Our work relies heavily on the incorporation of visual axes that organize the plan and lead the eye from room to room and from indoors to outdoors. We believe that the sophisticated manipulation of rhythm and repetition, balance and proportion, harmony and mathematics creates the foundation for timeless and beautiful design. Whether it's a modern, elegant approach or a more traditional, classic style, we strive to create designs that are both visually striking and functional.

As architects, we believe in being stewards of our clients' construction dollars. We understand the importance of staying within budget and schedule, and we take great care to ensure that our clients' needs are met while still delivering a high-quality end product.

Testimonials

We are proud to have been fortunate enough to work on a wide variety of projects with clients who share our passion for beautiful, functional design. Here are just a few testimonials from our satisfied clients:

• "My wife and I hired Pete Vallas to design our home in Gulfport, Mississippi. We had spoken with several architects and even hired an architect prior to meeting Mr. Vallas. However, we did not feel that the prior architects were really listening to our ideas. Pete was completely different from the onset. He never said, 'No, that is not possible, ' as previous architects had frequently said. Pete simply worked to make it happen." - Julia and Ben Bowden (Gulfport, MS)
• "Pete Vallas is such a talented architect! People stop when I'm in my yard to tell me how beautiful it is and one person asked if I would be interested in selling. The design is perfect and Pete's vision is incredible. He is easy to work with and the only architect I would recommend!" - Cari and Rick Palesano (Fairhope, AL)
• "I have had the pleasure of working with Vallas Architecture on numerous occasions. I have never had anything other than a great experience. Pete Vallas is extremely talented and is one of the best architects I have ever worked with when it comes to listening to what the owner wants and translating it to paper. He has many other talents I appreciate, one of them is his understanding and grasp of classical architecture."
