Core offering

A2M is an architecture practice delivering full-service architectural design for residential, commercial, cultural, and institutional buildings, with a core specialization in regenerative architecture that integrates climate-responsive design, passive strategies, circularity, and nature-based approaches. Services span new-build and renovation projects, encompassing conceptual design, parametric environmental simulation, Passive House and BREEAM certification delivery, interior architecture, BIM coordination, and project management through construction. Engagements are delivered via public architectural competitions, private commissions, and partnerships with developers, government bodies, NGOs, and commercial property owners.

Product overview

A2M is an architectural practice specializing in regenerative architecture with a portfolio of projects spanning new build and renovation. The firm's core offering encompasses climate-responsive architectural services organized around three pillars: Design with Climate (passive strategies, microclimates, thermal management), Design with Nature (biodiversity, bio-based materials, circularity), and Design with People (health, well-being, participation). Notable project portfolio includes City Gate 1 – Marchandises (mixed-use urban development), Belgian Embassy Kinshasa (Africa's first passive house embassy), Science 12 (parametric façade office building), Mundo LLN (circular coworking center), Marnix (heritage renovation), and Linné-Plantes (social housing renovation). The firm also developed the ICE Box Challenge environmental installation concept.

Direct peers

• Snøhetta: Norwegian-founded international practice with a strong sustainability and contextual design ethos, working across cultural, public, and landscape projects in the Nordics and beyond. Comparable to A2M in its emphasis on climate-responsive, award-winning design for cultural and institutional clients, though at much larger scale.
• MVRDV: Dutch practice emphasizing sustainability, data-driven design, and mixed-use urban development. Comparable to A2M in commitment to environmental performance and mixed-use urban projects (e.g., Marchandises-type developments), though with significantly larger firm size.
• Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects: Danish practice with strong credentials in cultural, public, and sustainability-certified architecture across the Nordics and internationally. Comparable to A2M in institutional client focus and commitment to ambitious sustainability targets, though at larger scale.
• EFFEKT Architects: Danish practice with explicit focus on regenerative architecture, circular construction, and sustainability-led design. Highly comparable to A2M in values and project types (community, public sector, sustainability certifications) and similar mid-sized firm profile.
• 3XN/GXN: Danish practice with a dedicated sustainability research arm (GXN) developing parametric and circular construction innovations. Closely comparable to A2M in marrying computational design with sustainability research and in building strong credentials in BREEAM/Passivhaus-certified projects.
• Heatherwick Studio: London-based design studio with comparable size and a focus on innovative, design-led, and sustainability-aware public and cultural architecture. Comparable in mission-driven, craft-and-design approach, though with stronger consumer/public-attraction focus than A2M.
• BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group): Copenhagen/New York-based practice known for sustainability-driven, parametrically optimized architecture including iconic projects targeting net-positive energy. Comparable in innovative use of computational design and strong sustainability narrative, though at materially larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Vincent Callebaut Architectures: Paris-based architect pioneering regenerative and biophilic architecture, with projects featuring parametric solar facades, timber construction, and biomimicry. Most directly comparable peer to A2M in regenerative philosophy and small specialized practice focused on climate-responsive design.

Broad incumbents

• Foster + Partners: Global architecture firm with deep sustainability practice, parametric design capabilities, and a track record on large-scale institutional and public projects including EU institutions. Overlaps with A2M in EU/institutional pipeline and sustainability narrative, but operates at materially greater scale and across a much broader portfolio.
• Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA): Rotterdam-based global practice with a strong track record in European institutional and public architecture and an increasing sustainability agenda. Comparable to A2M in EU institutional competition participation and Dutch/Belgian cultural context, but with a much larger, more diverse practice.
