How to increase the built area without building more?
When facing the challenge of a renovation or even a new construction, in addition to taking into account the client’s needs, current regulations and the budget, we consider a variable that is fundamental: how to do more with less. Thus, we present a case-study of how to have more surface area while building less. Leer más
Established in Buenos Aires by argentine architect Oliverio Najmias in 2007, NOA is an architectural firm specialized in a methodology that leads to innovative solutions, exclusive projects and competitive costs.
We face each project seeking to create a unique and specific design, closely related to its cultural and spatial environment, providing solutions to the needs and expectations of those who will use those spaces
Our way of approaching the design is the result of an iterative process,
successive approximation, which allows us an architecture of the highest quality.
We have a fascination for sustainable processes and generating innovative solutions from architecture and the impact this has on the daily lives of its users
Our research-based approach encourages spatial innovation,
with a strong focus on the integration and impact of the buildings on the surroundings and the environment
Each design comes from a deep study of the preconditions
and simultaneously challenges the current thinking
A design should be the most efficient expression of the circumstances in which it is created,
whether the budget that is handled is high, medium or low
