Founded in 1988 by Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, UNStudio specialises in creating ground-breaking architecture and design at all scales, from bridges to public buildings, offices, residences, exhibitions, products and urban masterplans. The name UNStudio stands for United Network Studio and refers to the collaborative nature of the practice.
Throughout 30 years of international project experience, UNStudio has expanded its capabilities through collaboration with an extended network of international consultants, partners and advisors. This network, combined with our centrally located offices in Amsterdam, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Dubai and Melbourne, enables us to work efficiently anywhere in the world. With over 120 completed projects in Asia, Europe and North America, the studio continues to expand its global presence with recent commissions in the United Arab Emirates, China, South Korea, Italy, Germany and the United States, among other countries.
A2M is an international practice driven by an ardent belief in the possibilities of modern architecture and a keen curiosity about building physics, our interdisciplinary team shapes A2M’s prospective vision of a sustainable future for our built environment.
Since its founding in 2000, A2M has dedicated itself towards making our world more livable by championing quality, contemporary architecture while maintaining high environmental standards. Because of our expertise in constructing zero-energy and carbon-neutral buildings, we became a lead policy consultant for the Brussels regional government. The firm largely contributed in making Brussels the first city in the world to implement Passive House standards into the city's Code. Our team of architects and engineers stands out by giving high-quality, environmentally-conscious training to architects, engineers and builders, while publishing our lessons learned from our projects throughout Europe, Africa and USA (M2A).
Although all A2M's projects achieve passive house performance (and for some also Net Zero Energy, Carbon Neutral, Exemplary Building, or Breeam) most are priced at an equivalent or lower price than standard market. A2M's trade mark is to achieve better quality for a standard price.
A2M's team is composed of architects, engineer architects and thermal engineers. All trained specifically in different aspects of sustainable development, passive design, natural light analysis as well as dynamic simulation. These skills gathered under one roof enable us to combine the economic with the exemplary dimensions in each of our projects.
