We re-design your workplace, home, shop or restaurant to adapt to the latest developments & help you move forward.
A strategic tool to nurture interactions.
For us, architecture is not the most important thing. It is not about what the building or the space looks like. It is about how it affects you. It is about the quality of the interactions it helps you nurture. It is not what it is, it is what it does. We use architecture as a tool to nurture the very interactions you need at every step of the way.
The seeds of added value.
Whatever the added value you are trying to create, whether better relationships at home, more meaningful interactions with your colleagues or more successful impact through your organisation, your interactions affect your results. We design your physical environment – whether your workplace, home, cafe, shop or museum – to trigger and nurture the interactions that will feed into more successfully results, on a daily basis.
Maximised by your space.
We create the environments that optimise your results. We use architecture as a strategic tool to foster interactions. We conceive of architecture as the contexts where interactions emerge. This way, we ensure that you can use your space to do what you do better. We enable you to use your space to accelerate your impact.
An essential part of the process.
We believe that the people who will inhabit the space are the experts in how they will inhabit it. We do not believe that the customary architecture process that is commonly used by architects can create spaces that nurture interactions. We have reinvented the architectural process to be a collaborative one instead of a dictating one. Through 4 iterative phases, we help make your world a better space, to nurture your interactions and maximise your added value.
"People who wake up in the middle of the night thinking "How do I transform my company? How do I accelerate innovation?" Those are the people who will find a response in the concepts & philosophy of AKKA Architects. Why? Because they have tried everything before. They have hired the best people, invested a lot of money in technology and processes within their companies. They should try space as a strategic asset. These people, these business leaders who are forward thinking can benefit and find a response in AKKA Architects."
It is important to define what interactions mean to a certain community within an organization. We need to start by actually defining what interactions mean to that community and moreover what good, positive and fruitful interactions would mean.
This week, we have rounded up some of the most pertinent questions we have received from you: our clients, partners and community. In this article,
Let’s start by looking at the first two. Last week, we looked at the first two trends, Technology and Generational Changes. This week, we dive into the second pair.
These days, management has almost gotten a bad reputation and leadership is all organisations are after. Management has come to be seen as over-controlling, while leadership is looked up to, as a way for leaders to pioneer and guide a team.
Creating newer, greener buildings is just one example of this new trend, and green building certifications are popping up with some regularity.
One of the most important qualities in an architect is their vision. This translates into two questions: do they have one? And does it align with your organization’s vision?
"AKKA has a very concrete skillset in which they understand the concepts of people needs and their business, and translate this into concrete pieces of spaces & furniture which draw in how space interaction would work and how people will behave around the space."
“I loved working with AKKA Architects. I advise anyone who feels like architects are confusing, expensive, or not for them to give AKKA a try. As a first-time homeowner looking at an old building, I was confused about how to approach the renovation. The team at AKKA was able to offer a tailor-fit solution that helped me understand and plan my renovation in phases. They helped me feel comfortable and broke down all the necessary steps in a transparent and approachable manner. AKKA also made sure I was aware of all the choices available and I truly felt like they were encouraging me to make the best choice possible.”

Architecture is a service, not a product.
Architecture is a service, not a whim or a fancy.
Architecture starts from the users, not from the Architect. This means, listening to clients and users is indispensable and the service needs to be created from them, with them, and not imposed on them.
