Since discovering what the word architecture meant at the age of ten, Andrew Fage knew it would become his life’s pursuit. His work is grounded in the conviction that architecture is an act of empathy — a discipline that shapes how people feel, move, and connect within the spaces they inhabit. Each project begins with the intuitive, intangible process of knowing the end user — of momentarily becoming them — and unfolds through a dialogue of light, proportion, and texture, resulting in designs that are refined, livable, and deeply personal.

With over two decades of experience between New York and Panama, Andrew has cultivated a rare fluency that bridges the conceptual and the built. His extensive background in construction and development has endowed him with the ability to orchestrate complexity with precision — transforming vision into reality without compromising elegance or intent. This mastery of process, combined with a finely tuned sense of proportion and flow, allows his work to hover between the pragmatic and the poetic.

A lifelong traveler, Andrew draws constant inspiration from the cultures and landscapes he encounters. His admiration for modernism is enriched by a fascination with craftsmanship and the way people shape beauty through daily life. In his architecture, there is a quiet synthesis between the technologically precise and the handmade — between the streamlined and the soulful. Materials are modern but tactile; forms are disciplined yet generous. His work embodies a timeless tension between clarity and warmth, innovation and intimacy.As Principal of ADF Partners, Andrew continues to lead the design and delivery of projects that elevate everyday living. Each space — from urban pied-à-terre to tropical retreat — reflects his commitment to creating environments that are not only beautifully resolved but also profoundly human.

— always human, never ego.
