Pool and garden designed and built by V&J
The archive · Orange County, California

Selected works and films.

Every property in this reel was designed and built by our studio — drawings, 3-D previews, and the builds themselves. Nothing staged, nothing borrowed.

A portrait of the studio, cut from our own footage — concept renderings, louvered pavilions, water walls, and pools on their first night. It is the closest thing to walking through a V&J property without the keys.

This is the same 3-D preview experience we hand every client before construction begins — so the film you approve is the garden you get.
