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.
