| The Firm |
| AA Architectural, Inc. is a professional practice that provides highly personalized service in architectural projects from single rooms to urban scale design. The firm is involved in every phase of the work from preliminary research and design to construction documents and supervision. The firm’s work is often cited for innovative use of materials, progressive design concepts, and exquisite yet simple detailing. Our ultimate goal has always been to provide for our clients the highest level of architectural thinking and produce built work which imparts joy and beauty for generations to come. AA Architectural takes great pride in its uncompromised record of successful projects. The firm attributes this achievement to having developed a working method from years of practice which successfully integrates all of the components of a complex project to create unique and highly specific solutions that respond to the requirements of the client and are sensitive to the local environment. The firm has consciously avoided specialization and formulaic design in favor of both programmatic and stylistic diversity. AA Architectural’s trademark, “beyond function and style” is a natural result of our customized working method, treating each project as a unique problem with a unique solution. Continually defying categorization while consistently achieving the highest level of quality in each new project has brought the firm much recognition. AA Architectural never relies upon predetermined styles, choosing instead to develop a unique language which is derived from the conditions of the project itself. Most of all, AA Architectural will bring its expertise for detail, coordination and innovative thinking to make the design and construction process a pleasant experience. |
