About Us

Good architecture is the byproduct of experience, knowledge, innovation, and creativity.  Since Virgona & Virgona Architects was established in 1947 by James V. Virgona, the firm has made its reputation by providing the best qualities of both a design oriented firm and a service oriented one.  We strive to make architecture that exceeds the client’s expectations and makes a positive and lasting contribution to its context.  This is achieved by drawing on the associates’ combined 75 years of experience in the field as well as their thirst for new solutions to complex challenges. 

We think that good design is possible at all budgets and not the privilege of the select few.  Whether it be moderate income housing projects for the disabled, cost conscious municipal work, or luxury custom homes, the goal of creating an exciting, uplifting, and responsible design remains the same.

We have extensive experience in design, planning, and approvals processes, and have worked with numerous public and private clients including CPC International, Best Foods, Sears, Westinghouse Inc., CVS, PNY Electronics, Sharp Electronics, Valley National Bank, Bank of New Jersey, Interstate Bank, Bergen County United Way, Duro-Test, and many satisfied homeowners to name a few.
