Ionic DeZign Studios | Where Art & Architecture Come Together

Our Approach

The Ionic DeZign Studios approach is different. No matter what the project — a ground up design-build or renovating an existing structure — we help clients recognize their own vision and use it as a guide in our design work. We incorporate this vision while creatively meeting the functional demands of the final product.

Working with the IONIC team means you get an impressive portfolio of experience and expertise, from site space planning through full construction management, as we bring your vision to life.

“We take great pride in the philosophy that our deZigns create projects that become Art You Can Walk Through.”

– Eugene Thompson, IONIC President and Founder

Our Work

The IONIC team is experienced in a wide range of architectural design projects. We are particularly well known for our blend of creative and functional work in corporate interiors, office buildings, restaurants, retail development and worship centers.

IONIC Masterplan

The IONIC team knows what is means to be a little… out there. That’s where we want to be! Not all of our creative drafts are meant to be built. Some of our renderings are solely meant to push boundaries, propose new architectural heights and to position IONIC as thought leaders in commercial and residential design. We call this the IONIC Masterplan.

Rooted in Virginia, Designing for Communities

At IONIC, our Virginia Beach headquarters is a custom-designed space that embodies who we are—a seamless blend of form and function that inspires creativity and optimizes our workflow. Built to foster collaboration, our space allows us to deliver projects with precision, professionalism, and speed.

While our physical office is in Virginia Beach, our impact extends far beyond. We have a deep-rooted history in Richmond and Charlottesville, particularly in worship architecture, with a legacy that includes more than 600 churches across Central Virginia and the Hampton Roads region. Our work in these communities continues to thrive, reflecting our unwavering commitment to thoughtful, innovative design that shapes and supports the places where people gather, connect, and grow.
