Our Story

Matthew Grove and Lisa Dall’Olio met in 1989, working in a small architecture office in New York City that specialized in historic preservation. They were married in 1992, a year before Matthew established Grove Architecture in New York, NY. The couple moved to West Virginia soon after.
​
Dall’Olio joined Grove’s practice in 1994, and the
firm, with its new name, Grove & Dall’Olio Architects PLLC (GDA) was established the following year. In the years since then, GDA has built a reputation for design excellence in the quad-state region in a wide array of project types. In 2016, GDA relocated their offices to downtown historic Winchester, Virginia.
"What we do is simple. We seek uplifting, functional, and affordable design solutions by meshing our client's project requirements and the creative process. We listen to our clients. They become an integral part of the design process. We apply our skills as designers to the set of problems. And above all, we have fun!”

- MATTHEW GROVE, CO-FOUNDER
