Apparatus Architects’ practice has been honored with the prestigious Architizer A+Awards in 2020, naming Apparatus Architects as one of the most innovative industry leaders and strongest emerging talents. Our team is composed of well-versed, forward-thinking, skilled architects and designers coming from diverse backgrounds, generating a unique environment for creative collaboration with human assets. Apparatus Architects operates in different scales and typologies, with special focus and interest in architecture, adaptive reuse and urban design. As an international firm, our office members are fluent in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and German. We provide an integrated service of all architecture and construction phases, ranging from the conceptual design to construction, documentation and licensing to site supervision. Additionally, we also offer project and planning consulting services. As a research-driven office, we base our architectural thinking at the very core of our practice. We make our investigations relevant by being an intrinsic part of our conceptual process. This makes the research an essential part of our work. Developing and executing projects on a global scale, in different countries not only gives us valuable cultural and socio-economic insights but also unique opportunities and collaborations. We praise ourselves in being extremely sensitive to details and committed in creating bespoke projects and meaningful relationships with our clients. This and our continuously evolving practice embody the very foundation of Apparatus Architects.
