about

A2M is an architecture agency created in 2000, which specializes in the field of the environment, research and the creation of exemplary projects. Over the years, after more than 90 projects, the agency has built a reputation as a pioneer in the field of sustainable architecture by exclusively developing Passive House, sustainable, circular, zero energy, CO2 neutral or self-sufficient buildings.

This attitude leads us to explore the realities of a decarbonized world, responding to the challenges of tomorrow. Some of our projects go even further: not only do they limit their impact on the environment, but they also regenerate it.

One of the particularities of the agency is the integration of several disciplines of building physics and environmental studies (energy studies, thermal and natural light comfort, choice of materials, biodiversity, water management, life cycle analysis, TCO, LCA, carbon footprint, etc.), as well as parametric design, so as to recreate an architectural narrative, to respond to the new performances needs of a changing world. A2M has its own Think Tank in which it develops the « Data Driven Architecture » with architectural narrative development tools assisted by AI ChatGPT or Copilot for the coding of certain scripts in Python and C#. Augmented Reality on construction site complements BIM and VR.

Teaching and transmission are also part of this transversal vision. Sebastian Moreno-Vacca, founder of A2M, and Aline Branders, partner of A2M, have been teaching at the ULB faculty of architecture and giving regular conferences for more than 15 years. A2M has offices in Brussels, New York, Luxembourg and Lisbon
