About
AS//A is an architecture, urban design and research studio operating at the intersection of civic and ecological systems, urban and rural environments, and digital and physical processes. We explore the complexity of these relationships through a rigorous and collaborative design process aimed at uncovering the specifics of place, culture and materials to create buildings that are environmentally and culturally responsive. Focused on crafting value at multiple scales, we aim to achieve maximum aesthetic and social influence while employing minimum economic and environmental impact. We believe that well crafted spaces can positively affect our quality of life by creating sustainable places to live, work and play while maintaining respect for people, cities, and nature.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A typical design process is illustrated as a straight line, the process almost never goes the way. it begins with getting to know the client's needs and desires as well as the specificity of the site. It's an iterative process which leads us to a solution that is not know at the beginning. This is what makes it so exciting and enjoyable — we create a project together based on you specific needs and situation.
