From Sketch to Signature — Where Vision Becomes Structure We design with precision and purpose. Whether it’s a new home, addition, or full renovation, every plan is engineered for approval and built to last. Our licensed architects, licensed structural engineers, MEP Engineers and design team handle zoning, code compliance, and permit-ready documents—so you never waste time or money on guesswork. Every project moves through scanning, drafting, modeling, and final sign-off with one goal: get you approved fast without sacrificing quality.

Interior Design — Crafted Spaces That Speak
Design That Feels Alive—Every Detail, Purpose-Built. We don’t decorate. We design energy. Every wall, finish, and fixture is selected with intention—balancing form, flow, and function. Our interior design studio brings emotion and precision together to create homes that feel as good as they look.

Consulting & Visualization — Clarity Before Construction

MEET THE PAIN & THE HEART BEHIND GVS:
- “Where every mark holds a story — of pain, perseverance, and a father’s love.” -
Carlos Sanchez
Founder/Owner/Principal/The Pain
The blueprint of GVS began long before the business—it started in the darkest moments of my life. After walking away from a 9-year law enforcement career, I built this company from nothing but grit, faith, and a vision for something greater. Every plan I draw, every home I design, is proof that no setback is final. Architecture became my therapy. GVS became my mission—to design spaces that stand for second chances and legacies that outlive struggle.
Gianna Victoria Sanchez
The Inspiration/The Boss/The Heart
Gianna is the “G” in GVS—the reason this company exists. Her laughter, curiosity, and light remind me every day why I refuse to quit. She represents the future we’re all designing for: something pure, full of life, and worth protecting. When clients see GVS, I want them to feel that same love and hope that started it all.

Joseph M.
Homeowner - Amawalk, New YorkCarlos helped me design and draft an addition for my house. It was a small foyer/mudroom addition on my 1930s cottage. From the beginning he was super collaborative and really listened to all of my ideas. He also really helped me through the whole building permit process with my town, which honestly can be pretty stressful and complicated when dealing with picky building departments! He was always easy to get in touch with, very patient with all my questions and changes. You can tell he genuinely cares about the work and wants things done right! I’d absolutely recommend Carlos to anyone looking for someone talented, thoughtful, and easy to work with.
Michele D.
Homeowner - Brick, New JerseyI had a need for architectural services to add a deck to my home in New Jersey.

They worked closely with my contractor for any questions and provided everything on a timely basis at a reasonable price. I would hihhly recommend.
