Markets
Our architectural firm specializes in corporate, education, institutional, and government markets
Although ALS has highly specialized experience in certain markets, we consider ourselves to be generalists – able to understand and respond to clients’ specific needs – regardless of the project type. In addition to designing new facilities, ALS has an extensive background in historic restoration, renovation, and adaptive reuse.
From railroads to libraries, banks to U.S. Post Offices, auditoriums to warehouses, office complexes to university/college or school campuses, we can meet your needs – let’s get started!
High-value results combine function and cost
High-value results from a successful combination of both function and cost.
- New Buildings: Performance-enhancing design/cost combinations can maximize value for every budget dollar
- Existing Buildings: “Simple” fixes can maintain the integrity of a building through evaluating cost-saving alternatives (thermally efficient window replacements, use of solar or geothermal energy, enhanced lighting, air conditioning controls, plumbing fixture upgrades, etc.)
We’ll Discuss:
- New Buildings: Performance-enhancing design/cost combinations can maximize value for every budget dollar
- Value Restoration: Cost-effective restorative services to existing facilities may require renovation rehabilitation or adaptive reuse review; physical assets respond to changing needs and market conditions; unresponsive properties can quickly lose value
- Image: Building appearance creates value of your company or organization
- Function: Project functionality and enhanced user performance are key; design inter-relationships can impact user attitudes and efficiency, adding economic value
- Operations: Good design impacts the cost and efficiency of operations such as reducing maintenance and replacement costs, utilizing peak energy efficiency, and keeping flexible to meet future modifications
