WHO WE ARE

The newly named practice ‘ADA Architectural Design Ltd ‘(previously ADA Architecture) is dedicated in providing the best possible service to our clients.

Our architecture is for people – all people. We want the spaces we design to promote social interaction and set the stage for living, without barriers.

We begin each project from first principles, looking to establish what is most important for the client, the place and the people who will be affected by it.

Testing a range of possible solutions from the outset underpins our approach. This exploration extends to the organisation of the building through to the materials and components that the building is made from. 

Our motivations are:

• Our motivations are:
• Thinking big without neglecting the details
• Clearly communicating concepts
• Designing intelligently for people and the planet
• Collaborating with other passionate people
• The power of craft and design to do good
• Quality of beauty found in spaces not objects
• Testing ideas till they break
• Materials that improve with age and respect their context
