Where Art and Architecture Come Together

 

Watch us Grow - WHHA + IONIC

The IONIC family welcomes a new member to it's Richmond office. Aaron Payne joins us from Virginia Tech and will help us manage the large work load of churches and other projects that we are tackling in the Richmond Market.

Aaron will be adding to the team skills in Revit, Rhino, 3D Max as well has other architectural related software programs. With an eagerness to learn and while in college, he became deeply convicted that architecture was all about finding a better setting for life. He is passionately interested in doing that by closely observing and then responding to the constantly evolving economic and cultural changes that have occurred during the last 20 years.

We have included a few of his school projects.



We all welcome Aaron to the fun world of architecture.
