About

Upstream Thinking for Smarter EnvironmentsR

 

More than 20 years of market-leading urban and architectural design across government, commercial, multi-residential and transport sectors inform the work of Agency for Design Strategy, led by Andres Lopez.

 

This depth and breadth of experience, our professional networks, our smarts and creative skill produce high-performing places and great commercial outcomes.
 

Why Upstream?

Smart environments are at the heart of what we do. We eat, sleep and breathe the challenge of making places that work spatially, socially, sustainably and economically – and for better experiences.

 

Smart environments don’t arrive fully formed. The upstream thinking – the conceptual clarity, the strategic rigour and the integrated design – creates environments in which people can connect and communities thrive.

Why Agency?

We call ourselves an agency because we believe in agency – and not just our own. We co-create with partners from the get-go because we know that every project benefits from many minds. Collaborating sharpens and enlivens the vision, accelerating both the process and results.

Lets work toguether.
