Mission
From investigative design to connective architecture
a2o designs and builds from a dedicated and serving attitude that is characterised by four themes.
Engagement.
Working at and in ‘spaces' is a social and public matter: every spatial intervention has an impact. Our designs promote sustainability and strive for a social and ecological balance.
Evocative.
Our architecture evokes an image by conscientiously combining form and content. Insight and evocation stimulate aesthetics. The imagined adds a dimension.
Smart plan.
A compelling design is a restrained design. Our interventions are always successful integrations: a balancing act between logical simplicity and complexity.
Connective.
We associate and connect man and space with the past and the future. The appropriateness comes from its social context, the history of the space and its cultural background. We build in a dialogue with our clients, with careful attention for users and passers-by.
