ANA is building on a social agenda
ANA architects designs buildings based on a clear vision: we look for forms that provide space for new opportunities for use. Our designs go beyond pre-programmed and conventional solutions and are clear, functional and striking in their simplicity; a simplicity that, when viewed more closely, always reveals an extra layer. Building a social and societal agenda is central to our expertise. Our architecture is an expression of the changing society and goes beyond the issues of the day.

With our buildings, we create a pleasant and healthy residential and living environment where people, together with other living beings, feel at home and can meet each other. In this way, our neighbourhoods form a future-proof habitat for humans, plants and animals, for young and old, rich and poor, independent and infirm.
Great buildings come about with a great team
