Our philosophy: harmony through holism

At Architecture AVM, we look beyond the traditional definitions of architecture, design and urban planning. We see these disciplines as parts of a greater whole – our environment. As such, we have a holistic philosophy we like to call "Neo-modern Organic Mysticism" that focuses on achieving harmony with and within our natural and man-made environment, a harmony that inspires our minds, lifts our spirits and enhances our lives.

Our perspective is universal; our mission defined by a series of core concepts:

Architectural synthesis: "Architecture as art"

Creating built environments that transcend the conventional bounds of architecture to succeed as iconic works of art that communicate and resonate at both an intellectual and spiritual level.

Minimalism: "More of less is more"

A focus on the minimal – minimal architectural gestures – with the aim of maximising emotional effect, functionality, productivity and value for money.

Organicism: "Architecture as nature"

Designing environments that are inspired by the broader urban and natural landscape, resulting in solutions that are more harmonious, appropriate and relevant.

Interactive dynamism: "Move with the times"

Embracing new technologies and an interactive dynamic to create progressive environments that inspire and improve our lives.

A sustainable environmental aesthetic: "Save the environment...and us!"

Progressive design and architectural solutions that promote the preservation and celebration of our natural environment – sustainable, efficient, ethical.

An uplifting human experience: "Architecture makes better people"

Creating solutions of intellectual, ethical and spiritual worth, solutions that elevate our quality of life and sense of the world.
