The choice
A+A and ZEST were not created to occupy a market niche. They were founded with the ambition of developing a different way of approaching design and project delivery.
After years of experience in structured, international, and complex environments, the founders chose to build upon a professional culture shaped through practice and experience. A culture based on responsibility, dialogue between disciplines, the ability to manage complexity, and the belief that every project should create tangible value.
The Method
The Value of the Method Projects represent the outcome. The method represents the guarantee.
Every assignment begins with listening, analysis, and a thorough understanding of the context. Every decision is evaluated by considering technical, economic, regulatory, environmental, and human factors.
For this reason, the method is the group’s true professional asset. It is what enables the team to address complexity with clarity, coordinate diverse areas of expertise, and support clients throughout every stage of the process.
The value perceived by clients stems not only from the quality of the final project, but also from the ability to build trust throughout the entire journey.
Approach
During the entire design phase and the subsequent construction phase, all activities will be coordinated, controlled, and monitored through the adoption of project management procedures.
Building on the experience gained over more than a decade in similar complex projects, the team will apply the most established and up-to-date working methods to ensure compliance with the “triple constraint,” defined as the adherence to time, cost, and quality requirements of the project.
Within this framework, the project approach is structured into the following phases, described below.
Working Group
Integrated architecture and engineering solutions for complex projects across a range of scales.
A+A and ZEST were not created to fill a gap in the market. They were founded on the ambition to build a different approach to design.
Multiple locations. One identity.
Milan, Venice, Mazara del Vallo. Three contexts, three networks of relationships, three distinct local roots.
The Group’s offices are not simply operational hubs, but places where expertise, relationships and local knowledge are developed. They are connected by a shared professional culture and a common approach to work
Each office brings different experiences and perspectives to every project. Distance is not a limitation, but an additional perspective to draw on.
