Architectura Mission
Architectura was founded on the principals of Passion, Vision, Innovation and Execution.
A passion for architecture. The vision to create exceptional and timeless design. The ability to craft innovative solutions to complex problems. Flawless project execution and management by an experienced staff. Successful architecture is not only about design. It's not just about beautiful drawings. The real success of architecture in practice is the seamless integration of project goals, innovative design and a commanding understanding of business.
Architecture is the most practical of all of the arts. The most challenging aspect of architecture is creating a successful and functional work of art. Every project begins with a thorough understanding of projects goals and a responsive design vision. A project is then shaped by the careful integration of technology and building codes. Architectura is uniquely positioned and experienced in business matters, finance and real estate development. Our related real estate development experience has created a unique understanding and insight into the realities of project finance and the cost of creating functional, intelligent, viable and cost effective projects.
Architecture firms must remain on the leading edge incorporating the latest developments in technology, design, materials and intelligent building systems. The immediate impact of construction on the environment and the efficiency long term operating costs of building operation are currently resounding through the industry. The creation of green conscious design and eco-friendly buildings are not new to Architectura. The firm has a history of sustainability and successful adaptive re-use of buildings. Our LEED certified architects keep our buildings on the forefront of technology.
