A-DA is a binational design practice founded on the idea that appropriate planning and design promotes healthy investments. Understanding context and achieving efficiency of resources are the cornerstones of our process. Design and execution of the built environment is more specialized, collaborative and documented than ever. Information technology has brought solutions and challenges to every facet of architecture. A wealth of options for materials and systems compounds over the development landscape. The means to achieving balance in the investment of architecture are simplicity, efficiency and sincerity. We believe these concepts to be intertwined, working off each other, providing us with direction through the project cycle. A-DA approaches its purpose with a passion for design and a discipline of efficiency; organic and mechanical, balanced.
