What we stand for
Sustainability
At aitects sustainable means taking a holistic approach to design. From social aspects to materials, carbon emissions to material waste, every aspect of a project is worth taking into account.
Causing 39% of global CO2 emissions, buildings are still the biggest polluters. To improve sustainability we are certified in using BREEAM as a toolbox with every design.
Effective Design
Every design choice we make in a building is going to affect the people enjoying it, so our starting point is the final user. We like to look at the bigger picture and design our buildings holistically, leaving the necessary room for creativity and innovation.
We are strong believers in simple, clean, elegant, budget-responsible solutions. But that doesn’t mean that the architecture we design isn’t also lively and fun!
Tailored Approach
Each project has different starting conditions, approach and end result. We always build the main vision together with the client, adding to their requests with with our expertise.
Sometimes the approach to the project is tackled as part of a formal research, other times the concept comes from a thorough analysis of the cultural, environmental and technical aspects. Occasionally the main idea comes unexpectedly from some external inspiration.
Advanced Innovation
We are constantly researching for the newest technologies that can help us in our quest to design more efficiently and sustainably, prioritizing the health and mental wellbeing of the final users.
We partner with specialists for insights into their knowledge and expertise, to maximize the effectiveness and to push the boundaries of our designs.
