AOA

"Placemaking" and "context" are more than buzzwords at AOA—these are the fundamental principles we use to structure each project. At every step in the process, AOA is collaborating with clients to understand how a project fits into its surrounding, how it is a good neighbor to nearby structures, how to be a good steward of its environment and, most importantly, how to enhance its users' daily interactions. By focusing on these essential elements, we ensure that each project is carefully considered and thoughtfully designed to perfectly fit the client’s individual needs, interests and personality. Whatever the scale of the project, AOA is interested in exploring and pushing materiality, using the model-making process to more completely understand how things are constructed, and focusing on people-centered solutions.
