Our Philosophy
A-Vantage Architects is an Australia and US-based design-led research studio, architecture, landscape architecture, urbanism, art and exploring flood and drought resilience, ________, regenerative design, and culturally responsive designs. Our work is situated within the context of the climate crisis. Working at multiscalar.
we explore ways of adjusting to the increased intensities and frequencies of extreme events, regenerative approaches, materials and cultural meaning to spaces and places.
Approach
We take pride in a tailored and personal approach. We listen to our clients, seek elegant answers to their questions and add unexpected value through creative design. The success of each project is driven by precise management of budget, programme and quality, resulting in a smooth and reliable process from initial concept to completion.
Our studio has a four-team structure. This allows each project to be run by a focused and energetic group, yet simultaneously benefit from the skills and experience of the wider office. Together we understand the complexities of projects in London: we relish the challenge of working with constrained sites, complex stakeholder groups, and heritage buildings.
we explore ways of adjusting to the increased intensities and frequencies of extreme events, regenerative approaches, materials and cultural meaning to spaces and places.
