KEY DIFFERENTIATORS

REZONING EXPERTISE:

We are experts at analyzing sites and proposing design solutions that maximize project value through increased efficiency and density. We typically present a strong project vision that stakeholders support with enthusiasm.

A FUSION OF TRADITIONAL & CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN TECHNIQUES:

Each preliminary concept is hand-sketched by Arno Matis. Our accelerated laser-cut physical models allow for quick conceptual understanding of urban environments.

BUILDING FORM OPTIMIZATION:

We use parametric design software to inform and manipulate complex geometries through controlled and varied parameters set by project stakeholders, allowing for rapid succession iterative modeling and a more clearly definable outcome.

GRAPHIC DESIGN:

Advanced in-house digital modeling creates higher quality graphic visualizations to enhance presentations and branding efforts, building early excitement in the community and marketplace.

VALUE-FOCUSED DESIGN:

Our iterative, design-centered approach maximizes project value through the deep context exploration, leveraging of the unique qualities of every site.

CONTEXT-SPECIFIC DESIGN:

We do not apply generic solutions to our projects. Every project is a unique statement about the project’s time and use.

PERSONAL SERVICE:

The firm Principal is personally involved in the design and management of every AMA project. This approach ensures continuity and quality in each project, and across our entire project portfolio.
