Collaborative Styling.
Engaging with Clients to develop Architectural Style
Many times, too much emphasis can be put on architectural style. Architectural styles are the characteristics of a building that can be defined by:
the organization and adjacencies of spaces
material selections
the location and orientation of elements
THAT Architecture Firm does not have an established or predetermined style of architecture. We work with our clients to understand their needs and allow the style of architecture to organically mature through the design process. This approach creates a more collaborative design experience and allows for diverse and creative solutions to complex problems.
Green by Design.
An approach that prioritizes passive and alternative methods
Sustainable designs should increase the performance of the spaces within the building and the building within the environment. THAT Architecture Firm prioritizes a Green by Design approach that combines passive design strategies, alternative construction methods, and active design systems so they work for you. Passive design strategies and alternative construction methods are prioritized and used in tandem to improve performance while maintaining economically competitive construction costs.
