§01 — PARTNERSHIPS

Partnerships.

We collaborate with local consultants, developers, architects, contractors and project managers on international resort projects.

European capacity · working worldwide with local licensed teams

Working alongside licensed local consultants

We strengthen teams — we do not replace them.

§02 — position

Two disciplines, one voice — architecture and structural engineering led in-house by the same two people, from concept to construction.

We are not looking to replace local expertise. We are looking to strengthen local and international teams with European architecture, structural engineering, BIM and technical documentation capacity. On most resort projects the architect of record, the statutory engineer and the approvals path are already local, and should be. Our role sits alongside them — adding design rigour, buildable detailing and coordination discipline where a team wants more depth than it currently carries.

Because both disciplines are led by the two principals who lead each package, a partner receives a single, coordinated position rather than two documents that have to be reconciled later.

How we fit.

§03 — capacity

The eight models below describe where we fit into a project team and who leads each package. Most partnerships combine two or three; few need all eight. Detailed technical scopes and deliverables are set out in Services.

Partnership models.

§04 — eight models
01

Full design support with local architect of record

Architectural design produced alongside the local architect of record, who holds the statutory role and leads submission.

ARCH
02

Structural engineering package

The studio leads the structural discipline and issues the package for local checking and sign-off.

STR
03

BIM and Tekla package

BIM and Tekla support scoped to sit inside the developer's or contractor's model environment.

BIM · STR
04

Resort concept development

Concept development for a site or a brief, led by the architecture side of the studio.

ARCH
05

Technical documentation support

Drawing sets, schedules and specifications for a team whose design is resolved but which needs documentation capacity.

ARCH · STR
06

Value engineering

A joint architecture-and-engineering review of structure, envelope and construction method.

ARCH · STR
07

Tender and IFC support

Tender and issued-for-construction support aligned with the local approvals timeline.

BIM · STR
08

Construction phase support

Shop-drawing review, RFIs, site queries and revisions, led by the relevant discipline and coordinated with the project manager.

ARCH · STR

Who we work with.

§05 — partners
  • Developers and owners — carrying the commercial and programme risk; we serve their brief and their operator's requirements.
  • Local architects — usually the architect of record; we support, not supplant.
  • Structural and MEP teams — as a coordinating partner or as the structural discipline itself.
  • Contractors and fabricators — with BIM, Tekla and IFC-ready output that a shop can build from.
  • Project managers — whose programme and reporting cadence we work to.
  • Operators — whose brand and back-of-house standards shape the plan long before drawings begin.
§06 — coordination
Architecture and structure agree before anything is priced.

One coordinated position from concept to construction: a federated model that holds, a long-span structure made buildable, drawings a contractor can price without guessing.

How a partnership starts.

§07 — start

One conversation. You describe the project, the destination, the stage it is at, and the gap you want filled.

We tell you plainly which of the models above fits, who would lead it, and where local consultants remain essential. If it fits, we scope a first package — usually small, defined and buildable — and start there. We would rather earn a larger role than assume one. You can also explore our Maldives projects to see how we think about a brief.

Note — local sign-offFor international projects — including the Maldives, Greece and other jurisdictions — local approvals, statutory submissions, code compliance and professional sign-off are handled together with local licensed architects, engineers, structural checkers, EIA consultants, coastal/marine specialists, fire consultants and MEP/utilities consultants.
