Together with our clients and consultants, we aspire to create buildings and places that enhance their occupants' experience, promote social interaction, and achieve high architectural goals, while remaining cost-effective, energy-efficient, and sustainable. We have 3 main areas of focus at APD: Cannabis Industry, Sustainable Housing, and Workplace design. From the challenges of today's energy and materials consumption to the lack of affordable housing to creating workspaces that inspire rather than limit, to helping to fight pain and diseases; we are socially responsible visionaries. Since 2014, our expertise has excelled within the cannabis industry. With a background in medical device manufacturing design, APD understands the importance of strict protocols, quality management systems, and current Good Manufacturing Practices(GMP) required in such facilities. We are a coalition of architects, designers, and planners implementing lean design solutions for controlled environment horticulture, food and drug manufacturing facilities, and retail dispensaries, working with clients nationally and internationally to build world-class facilities. From site planning to ribbon cutting, APD works with first-time entrepreneurs and leaders in the cannabis industry to design, engineer, and construct facilities that transform ideas into successful, profitable businesses. Our foundation and approach are entrenched in the principles first investigated by Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus to today's Lean Construction practices. We are grounded in the practical and that which is informed by innovation and the iterative process of investigation, critique, and evolution.
