Profile
Process - Short Form
-
Define: Most certainly the critical phase in which we discover clients’ vision, project goals, budgets, and (secret) dreams. We meet with clients and discover the site, document existing conditions, coordinate information, and begin to determine a unique design direction with specific solutions.
Design: Creative work begins and solutions evolve, layered and refined: the picture comes into focus. In a key series of interactive working sessions with clients we present phased options. Spaces, materials, and furnishings are specified and documented. We collaborate with a network of contractors and fabricators to synthesize design concepts into real, coordinated spaces and environments.
Deliver: Designs become real. Materials, schemes, and furnishings are ordered, built, and become tangible. ABD coordinates fabrication, delivery, and installation. Project: complete.

Principal
Andra Birkerts
Art informs Andra’s life and work. Her heritage: generations of artists, is a vital influence on Andra’s work. After graduating from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree she earned an MFA in painting from the Nova Scotia College of Art. She has taught drawing, worked in the Interiors Department at Arrowstreet Inc, and was a founding partner at Linea5 in Cambridge where she created and managed the interiors department. Andra has been recognized for excellence in interior design, painting, and graphic design. Her deep knowledge and love of art history and architecture are the foundation of her multi-faceted design work. Watercolor painting on a quiet island cultivate creativity and provide relaxation. Andra’s secret pastime is a leisurely open water swim.
