We believe that design is the active process of the innovative deployment of material and resources to their maximum potential and human benefit. We are experts at leveraging urban design, and creating architecture that maximizes value through increased liveability, sustainability, efficiency and density. We typically present a strong project vision that stands the test of time. The practice has a hard earned reputation for consistently producing exceptional work and we strive for excellence at all project types and service levels.
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 modelling and a more clearly definable, cost-effective outcome. We strive for the efficient allocation of materials for the maximum overall benefit of the project. Our Research and Development teams review building systems and materials to ensure efficient compliance with evolving regulatory requirements.
From the pure simplicity of a hand sketch to the sophistication of BIM, AR/VR and AI software along with 3D printing we utilize the most powerful tools to support the design process. Each preliminary concept is hand- sketched by Arno Matis. Our approach to rapid proto-typing allows for a quick conceptual understanding of urban environments.
The firm Principal is personally involved in designing and managing every AMA project. This approach ensures continuity and quality in each project, and across our entire portfolio.
AMA works with leading visual software providers in the research and development of their visualization software systems. Advanced in-house digital modelling results in cutting edge graphic visualizations, resulting in the clear communication of design and atmospheric qualities of a design proposal. Our in-house visualizations are key to our ability to build early excitement in the community and marketplace.
We do not apply generic solutions to our projects. We utilize industry-leading experience and technology tools to leverage every opportunity that each site presents. Every project is a unique statement about the project’s time and use.
