SAA believes that innovation and creativity area derivative of balancing the systems of program, economy, site, and the human sense of well-being. Although our approach can be pragmatic and meet the practical programmatic requirements, our projects transcend the ordinary by making every design decision meaningful in terms of craft and economy, and most importantly keeping the conditions for the occupants comfortable and conducive to mental and physical well-being. SAA’s environmental view toward design starts with considering the placement of the building on the site. By taking into consideration the environmental impacts of heat gain, heat loss and day lighting, the building’s life-cycle costs can be minimized. In addition, life-cycle cost analyses that consider daily operation and maintenance is also of prime concern. SAA’s cost-effective designs are achieved through balanced compositions of basic geometries. Standardized readily-available building components are utilized as another method to keep costs down. The design strategies described are employed without compromising visually compelling interior spaces and work in tandem with the primary focus of the building program.
