About Us
AAS ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL was created in January 1981 to meet the need for an architectural and interior architectural planning and design firm which has the experience, organization, capability, and awareness to undertake projects of various sizes locally and internationally, with emphasis on three integrated professional services: Planning and design, cost management, and overall project management.
Approach to Planning and Design
AAS ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL has developed its own approach and vocabulary in planning and design by mixing both the macro (global) and micro (individual) cultures with the element of fun.
The result of this approach is the creation of spaces with an environment that helps people to be more creative, imaginative, and productive and that expresses specific corporate or individual cultures.
