  • HISTORY

    aMa grew from a need for competent design for people and organizations from all walks of life. Too often in the corporate architecture world, good design is only afforded to those with either the right connections, or the means to procure it. aMa is founded on the belief of good design is for everyone.

  • APPROACH

    The approach aMa Architecture takes is the same with all jobs, big or small.  Careful attention to the needs of the client is taken to assure that all parties can follow the same understanding.  Through research of local codes and regulations and following the desires of the clients, the result is a makeup of a clearly defined path to success.

  • STYLE

    aMa Architecture caters to all styles of building.  Being a Chicago firm, aMa takes great pride in conserving the structural history of our architecturally progressive city.  Where possible, our process ensures that construction not only honors the latest in safety and form, but also keeps in mind the importance of our history and our surroundings.

  • EXPERTISE

    aMa is a well regarded and highly respected architecture firm with over 25 years of experience. From planning and consulting to putting on the hardhat at the job site, the knowledge gained through decades of service remains the strength of our offerings.
