Justin Cullen

RA, NCARB, LEED Green Associate
Design Principal, Co-Founder

Justin has 10 years in the architectural design industry. He has worked on residential, commercial, mixed-used, and cultural projects during his career. Detail-oriented by nature, Justin appreciates diving into the specifics on each project and tackling the challenges associated with the science of building construction. He prefers to work closely with the builders as a collaborative effort to bring the space to fruition. This attention to detail also proves crucial in his BIM Services work, which focuses on virtual design and construction content such as BIM content creation, BIM library management, BIM template creation, and training.

Justin has a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Fairmont State University (2010) and a Master of Architecture from University of Maryland, College Park (2012). He is a licensed architect in Maryland, Washington, DC, West Virginia, and North Carolina. Justin enjoys gardening, fitness, ceramic arts, travel, the outdoors, home renovation, and working on his full-size Iron Man suit.

Kiley has a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Fairmont State University (2010) and a Master of Architecture from University of Maryland, College Park (2012).

what we do

our approach to architecture

The name for Ven Studio LLC comes from the idea of synergy: the marriage between different elements of design and construction, and the harmony that comes from well-balanced design. We emulate this idea of synergy in every aspect of our business: we design at the intersection of function and beauty, work at the junction of precision and efficiency, and collaborate at the midpoint of complexity and clarity.

Our goal as a firm is to reflect and encourage intangible ideals through the tangible built environment. On a smaller scale, we design our spaces to elicit comfort, joy, balance, and tranquility. On the larger scale, we seek to promote equity, health, happiness, and community. We offer services for both residential and commercial spaces to have the opportunity to serve the community at all levels.
