A2M Architecture

A2M is an international practice driven by an ardent belief in the possibilities of modern architecture and a keen curiosity about building physics, our interdisciplinary team shapes A2M’s prospective vision of a sustainable future for our built environment. Since its founding in 2000, A2M has dedicated itself towards making our world more livable by championing quality, contemporary architecture while maintaining high environmental standards. Because of our expertise in constructing zero-energy and carbon-neutral buildings, we became a lead policy consultant for the Brussels regional government. The firm largely contributed in making Brussels the first city in the world to implement Passive House standards into the city's Code. Our team of architects and engineers stands out by giving high-quality, environmentally-conscious training to architects, engineers and builders, while publishing our lessons learned from our projects throughout Europe, Africa and USA (M2A). Although all A2M's projects achieve passive house performance (and for some also Net Zero Energy, Carbon Neutral, Exemplary Building, or Breeam) most are priced at an equivalent or lower price than standard market. A2M's trade mark is to achieve better quality for a standard price. A2M's team is composed of architects, engineer architects and thermal engineers. All trained specifically in different aspects of sustainable development, passive design, natural light analysis as well as dynamic simulation. These skills gathered under one roof enable us to combine the economic with the exemplary dimensions in each of our projects. - all A2M's projects are Passive House and/or Net Zero Energy - 3 offices: A2M Brussels | A2M Lisbon | M2A NYC - 19 Exemplary Building awards - 4 Breeam buildings - 1 MIPIM award
