What characterizes the work of Office dA is its critical commitment. Its constant challenge, as it seeks out inventive new spatial and tectonic approaches, is to use the potential and the combinations of composite techniques with its strategies of aggregation and assembly.

Its architectural rhetoric and language, central to the way it works in detail,
are expressed in its thorough knowledge of materials.

Concern for the details as a root component, “the DNA of design”, is the starting point for an architectural system that begins with the context in order to weave a fabric in which the rigorous background research is evident. That rigor is applied not only to exceptional or unique aspects but is present in the versatility, flexibility and complexity of the systems dA creates in its projects.
