William A. Hall

In 1975 he began a career in architecture by enrolling in the Boston Architectural Center. His education at the BAC was supplemented with classes at Harvard Graduate School of Design, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Rome Academy in Italy. He opened William Hall Architects in 1991 after spending 10 years at The Architects Collaborative and several years practicing in Rome, Italy and Boston. He operates a small real-estate development company as well as his firm. His design philosophy embraces "less is more," and William Hall Architects embraced efficiency in use of materials and energy decades before it became popular. More

Alan Melad

Alan Melad's interest lies in the holistic creation of humanistically conceived space. He respects the needs and customs of inhabitants, and is sensitive and respectful to the enclosing structure: both in its inherent potential, and in using it as a point of departure. He believes that specialization in design has led to separation, division and often dissension. We see the results of this divisiveness in unrelated layers and un-integrated interior space, rather than in a unified outcome. His belief that "we are all the thinkers and makers of our physical reality," guides all of his work at AMDA Designers. More
