How we do?

Design

We aspire to create built environment that question, rethink and improve on the status quo. Each design seeks a critical integration of the fundamental form givers, program, site and spatial experience – informed by craftsmanship, materiality and sustainability.

We believe design is permeative, encompassing all aspects of our work and involving all project participants. Our approach implicate collaborative exploration with our consultant team, clients and users, seeking progressive discoveries, innovative design solutions and compelling architectural expression rooted in unique substance of each project.



Environmental Responsibility 

APED strongly promotes environmental responsibility through our practice of sustainable design and application of “green” measures in the ongoing operation of the firm. We have developed technical expertise and protocol to analyze alternative design solution for sustainability metrics throughout the design process.

Our process goes beyond the LEED* evaluation system to ensure that environmental principles are carefully integrated into the entire process, from concept design through technical development, project delivery and occupancy. (* LEED – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)

 

 Management and Technical Expertise 

APED comprehends effective project management and industry-leading technical expertise as essential components to high quality design and effective project delivery. A hallmark of our firm is the demonstrated capacity to design and deliver successfully a broad range of highly complex public projects.

From large-scale urban landmark buildings to small scale community projects - our integrated design approach and management process has a proven track record of effective cost control and schedule management.

To ensure consistent quality of design and technical solutions, we employ a proactive system of quality assurance from the outset of the project – administered by our full-time QA expert. This process engages the APED project team and sub-consultants in interactive framework of design coordination and document checking, applying advanced design technology tools in a highly organized and systematic manner.
