Residential Engineering

AM-A Engineering partners closely with a network of skilled Architects, innovative Building Designers, and experienced Builders to provide comprehensive residential engineering solutions. Our collaborative approach ensures that each project balances structural integrity with visual appeal, all while adhering to financial considerations. We’re dedicated to delivering engineering excellence that enhances living spaces without sacrificing style or exceeding budget constraints.

At AM-A Engineering, we embrace a co-design philosophy, where our engineering team works in a dynamic, iterative process alongside architects and builders. We meticulously integrate structural engineering principles with architectural aesthetics, ensuring that each design element aligns with the envisioned style and functionality. Our agile approach allows for rapid revisions of preliminary sketches, facilitating a collaborative environment where feedback is actively sought and incorporated. Satisfaction among all stakeholders is our priority before we proceed to the final stages of detailed design and precise CAD documentation. This thorough and inclusive method guarantees that our engineering solutions are not only robust but also harmoniously integrated with the overall design vision.

AM-A’s engineering expertise was pivotal in realizing the Turn House’s vision (pictured above), which seamlessly blends functionality with aesthetic elegance. The project’s success is a testament to our collaborative approach, working closely with Rebecca Naughtin Architect to push the boundaries of design and engineering. The result is a structure that not only stands out for its architectural merit but also exemplifies the innovative use of Architecturally exposed structural steel. Read more about it here.
