Vision 3 Architects

What Vision 3 Architects does

Vision 3 Architects is a private architecture and interior design firm founded in 1987 and headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island. The firm operates through three specialized studios covering Workplace, Healthcare, and Education sectors, with a senior leadership team of three principals (Paul Hauser, Ryan Haggerty) and an Associate Principal (Colin Gadoury) overseeing roughly 30 professionals. Its service portfolio spans the full project lifecycle from feasibility studies and site selection through planning, schematic design, permitting, construction documentation, and construction administration, supplemented by interior design offerings including space planning, finish selection, furniture bid packages, and branded environment design.

The firm delivers projects using a standard architectural technology stack centered on Building Information Modeling (BIM), Virtual Reality visualization for client walkthroughs, Matterport 3D scanning for existing-condition documentation, and drone photography for site capture. Specialized regulatory expertise, particularly FGI-driven programming, Department of Health compliance, and evidence-based design in healthcare, functions as a technical differentiator in regulated facility work. The firm holds no proprietary software, patents, or AI/ML capabilities; its value is delivered through human expertise, credentialed staff (Registered Architects, LEED AP, WELL AP, NCIDQ), and project execution.

Vision 3 generates revenue on a project-based professional services model, with fees quoted per engagement and no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Its go-to-market is principal-led direct engagement with enterprise clients in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Michigan, Connecticut, and New York, supplemented by a newly created Business Development Representative role (hired September 2024) that signals a shift toward proactive pipeline development beyond referral and repeat-client work. Customer relationships span healthcare systems (Thundermist, Ortho RI, Brown University Health), educational institutions (Johnson & Wales University, St. Andrew's School), financial and professional services firms (Raymond James, private investment firm), labor unions, and hospitality operators (Great American Beer Hall, Long Live Beerworks).
