Connecting People & Place
The built environment does not only provide physical shelter for people, but also carries memories and the spirit of humanity. Through the design of spaces, we strive to build durable and meaningful connections between people and place. The source of connections may come from the land use, time, user's behavior, lifestyle, aesthetic preference etc. Our design solutions come from careful studies on our client's needs and the nature of sites. We explore diverse types of options to identify approaches that respond closely to each project's needs, without being constrained by any specific forms or styles.
Leadership
We have a group of talented and enthusiastic professionals committed to rigorous, thoughtful design. Our team consists of designers from in Asia, North and South America. The diversity gives us a broad vision of the world and deep understanding to local traditions and trends. All of our senior designers have years of international practice experience and multiple professional backgrounds. Their solid knowledge and vigorous passion are the foundation of the success of the firm and our projects.
ATA principals are fully involved in all stages and aspects of each project, from preparing proposals to concept development and design implementation. Under our principal's close supervision, a consistent team of design staff is assigned to each project to support consistency and quality in our work and deliverables.
