AP Valletta is a research-based practice dedicated to creating architecture as a place-maker and a producer of narratives, as well as a catalyst for the creation of kinship. Our collaborative, multidisciplinary team of architects and other innovative thinkers, intertwine sustainable adaptive reuse strategies with traditional restoration, working on a vast range of projects, such as homes, offices, cultural projects and urban landscapes.
Over the last 30 years, the firm has widened its expertise by managing projects of varying scale and complexity, in Malta and overseas. Each project tackled contains a collection of well-tested ideas together with new, unexpected ones. It is the unconventional intentional blending that brings the design to life.
A significant reflection of our work practice is evident in our relationship with the city of Valletta. AP Valletta has contributed to the resurgence of interest and growing revaluation of architecture on the island, challenging the status quo in the perception and preservation of local heritage not only of clients and collaborators, but also the public generally. By exploring the reuse of existing buildings, we have initiated debates locally and internationally, engaging UNESCO experts and emphasizing the economical sustainable importance of testing innovative design approaches.
