ANA is building on a social agenda

ANA architects designs buildings on the basis of 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 always reveals an extra layer upon closer inspection. Building on a social and civic agenda is at the heart of our field of expertise. Our architecture is an expression of the changing society and goes beyond passing fads.

Projects

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.

Research

Through our own research projects into, among other things, housing quality, flexibility, building with wood, living independently for longer, compact housing, custom-built homes and families in the city, we find answers to modern-day and future spatial issues. In this way, both technical developments and social changes that are of importance to the profession can be applied to the assignments of today and tomorrow.
