Before any project can begin, we undertake a comprehensive site analysis to better understand the given space, as well as the wider environment. We've labelled this framework as ‘design by research', an approach that is inspired by our academic links whilst qualified through practical experiences. At the same time, we adopt an interactive and collaborative approach, engaging closely and openly with clients (and their project team) to establish goals and ideas, and then put these into practice. This is all facilitated and guided by our experienced and receptive team. Indeed, the same holds true with our services in consultation and feasibility studies for property developers and investors seeking to maximise ROI.

As a design evolves, Building Information Modelling (BIM) software ensures a coordinated project delivery. This technology assists our team in evaluating how decisions relate to specific location and environmental conditions, whilst enabling us to optimise a building's performance. Following project completion, we conduct post-occupancy analysis surveys, evaluating aspects such as building performance objectives, aesthetical results, and occupant's satisfaction. Furthermore, new advanced Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are changing the entire customer experience and planning stages. This technology allows clients and stakeholders to dynamically experience a project before actually breaking ground. In so doing, ensuring better articulated beginnings and efficient results. Meanwhile, our company's collaboration with the Cyprus Interaction Lab supports these endeavours to always be advanced and ahead of the curve.

This applies to both for improving building performance and for supporting an eco-friendly philosophy. Each project is unique in its ecosystem and the possibilities it has in optimising resources. At ADP, we strive to tap into this and make the most out of sustainable and modern practices. By applying the use of simple environmental design principles, such as orientation, natural light consideration, ventilation, heating/cooling systems, and building materials, we are able to deliver projects that not only do more than the minimum requirements of state regulations, but reduce energy consumption without the use of renewable technology. We are also able to deliver ‘Energy Efficiency Studies' through our collaborators, as well as case-study based scenarios of combining various methods of renewable energy sources. Such a conscious and hands-on approach to sustainable and ecological architecture and design is no doubt the best way forward, here in Cyprus, and globally.

Social responsibility in our architecture and design practice comes in the form of understanding and connecting with our local and national communities here in Cyprus, or wherever the project is situated. Thus, we can better respond to a rapidly changing society. This might mean maintaining elements of local traditions, balanced with a new generational and perhaps a more diverse outlook. Likewise, considering the possible societal and cultural impact of our work, whether stand alone projects or larger urban developments. As such, part of our architecture and design process must also incorporate an appreciation of nature and the built environment, geography/location, general real estate development, urban economics and sustainability concerns. But also, involve intimate understandings, theories and creativities of the social sciences and arts. Finally, we are always keen and active in supporting institutions, organisations, schools and other initiatives in our local communities – a collective approach to a better society.
