AP has grown naturally, organically and, to a certain degree, spontaneously. Its spirit is independent of any specific mission, chosen a priori. It is the product of the convergence of several tasks which it has been commissioned over the years to undertake and of the orchestration of the multitude of disciplines required to achieve the goals envisioned by the client.
Each project tackled, whether architectural, design or planning related, contains a collection of ideas, some tried and tested, others new and unprompted, whose unorthodox overlap and unsettling combination is what brings the product to life. Projects drift through varying facets of architecture, interior and space, tracing trajectories that are derived from specific areas of research and expertise, be it that of the architect, the engineer, the critic, the educator, the artist, the writer or the anthropologist. Although solutions may seem simple, the origins of each project are complex, articulated and unstable, admitting and encouraging accident and, in the future, re interpretation. Paradoxically, however, the only certain conclusion that emerges from this research is the ineffable quality of Architecture.
We have the undiminished ambition to evoke, in varying ways, a common sense of architecture as a generator of real life, not only the backdrop to events, big or small, historical or routine. Architecture and design, for us, is more than space, setting, context and form. We would like to create an Architecture that is a place-maker, a container of meaning, a catalyst for the creation of kinship, a fabricator of myth and a producer of narratives.
AP has almost 25 years of experience and has continuously been expanding its field of activity. The practice can provide a wide range of services including Architecture Design, Urban Design and Master Planning, Restoration Theory and Practice, Sustainable Architecture, Structural and Civil Engineering services, Interior Design, Strategic Real Estate consultancy, Education and Publishing.
Our organisational structure is purposely flexible, capable of addressing the specific criteria of any individual project and drawing on the talent and skills of its extended team, consisting of a multi-national and multi-disciplinary team of 50 people including Architects & Civil Engineers Architects, Structural Engineers, Interior Designers, Restoration Architects, Valuation Specialists, MEPA (Malta Environment and Planning Authority) liaison, specialists in Contract Administration, Built Environment History & Heritage Management, and Environmental Design as well as a team of administrative and support staff.
