Sustainable Design
AE7 incorporates sustainable design practices into our projects from kick-off. With LEED accredited Architects and Interior Designers, we use energy modeling, daylighting studies, life-cycle analysis and more to help our clients understand the long-term benefits of buildings that are resilient, resource-efficient, and healthy for their occupants.

CONCEPT VISUALIZATION METHOD
Visualization Examples
Collaborative Visualization
Communicating the design is crucial for our clients and their stakeholders to make informed, timely project decisions. AE7 uses benchmarking, rapid prototyping, real-time immersive graphics, and preliminary cost estimates to spark ideas and discussion about how people will use their spaces, what works, and what changes might make it better.
MASTER & URBAN PLANNING
AE7’s master planning team merges creativity, experience, and data to realize the vision of our clients. Our design process weaves a social fabric into engaging environments that nurture self-sustaining communities and a sense of place. Our data-driven approach addresses global strategic objectives, market sector analysis, and impact for the ultimate success of the development.

RETAIL
In a digital age where online shopping is only one click away, a “real” development needs to create memorable experiences customers will return to. As store concepts evolve from experimental pop-up stores to omni-channel shopping and more, retail design must elevate each brand’s unique identity, social purpose and environmental stewardship.
