By teaming with various contractors, PF&A has designed many buildings in the Hampton Roads area, up and down the east coast and as far as Puerto Rico. Several incorporate the look of other buildings surrounding the project while others introduce elements into the buildings that push the envelope of building design in this region.
PF&A coordinates building plans with engineering consultant firms in order to provide a full-service project team to address any kind of addition, renovation, or new building project. PF&A will provide the Owner with construction administration services throughout the project to ensure owner satisfaction and to confirm that all plans and specifications are followed precisely.
Separate from the design process, architecture is also experienced through the senses, which therefore gives rise to aural, visual, olfactory, and tactile architecture. As people move through a space, architecture is experienced as a time sequence. Even though our culture considers architecture to be a visual experience, the other senses play a role in how we experience both natural and built environments. Attitudes towards the senses depend on culture. The design process and the sensory experience of a space are distinctly separate views, each with its own language and assumptions.
