MASTERPLANNING
Master planning is an opportunity to create an inclusive vision that enhances community and cultivates a lifestyle destination on any scale. As planners, we shape the development around the lives people lead and the experiences they seek. We create opportunities for site activation by selecting the right mix of uses and placements of elements. By engaging the community early and throughout the planning process, we recognize their vision and goals and incorporate them into those of the developer. As a result, we deliver a responsive design that ensures that the development fills in the market and social gaps, brings immediate and future value, and integrates with its surroundings. As facilitators of ideas and planners, we help developers understand the full potential of the site as we bring their vision to life. We establish a foundational framework by guiding our clients through zoning and authority requirements, maximizing land use, and planning resilient infrastructure. Through creative and research-informed master planning, including infusion of truly unique selling points (USPs) and amenities, we craft destinations that attract, inspire, and bring value to your real estate.

INTERIOR DESIGN
Interior spaces impact our lives—influencing our emotions, interactions, and comfort. Therefore we place people at the forefront of interior design. Our creative process is defined by the user experience and grounded in research and knowledge. We visualize the user’s perspective from the point of entry and as they move through and interact with the environment to create spaces that are memorable, useful, and resilient.
Our integrated teams blend cross-industry design concepts to spark innovation and better the built environment. Whether incorporating amenities for hospitality into a residential development, using cleanability principles from healthcare in corporate spaces, or applying staff retention techniques from workspace to hospital design, we take a unique approach to each project and its goals, cultivating designs that challenge the norm and create lasting value.

ENGINEERING
To deliver comprehensive design solutions that are as elegant as they are cost effective, our engineering teams work closely with our architects and master planners from inception through project delivery. With a focus on bringing a design vision to life, our engineers create opportunities for increased site utilization, improved building performance, and optimized resiliency. They educate and inform internal and external stakeholders on the best ways to tackle design and environmental challenges that create more efficient solutions—whether reducing the right-ofway footprint, maximizing a building’s energy efficiency, or creating a structural framework for some of the world’s tallest towers. We further continuously look for and present opportunities to future proof the stakeholders’ investments.
To make these visions possible, our engineering team has intimate knowledge of international and local authorities, their processes, regulations, and guidelines, streamlining the local approval process and minimizing delays. Staying up-todate with—and at times ahead of—the latest technologies, we strive for maximum efficiency in process, design, and performance.

LANDSCAPE
Connecting natural and built environments, the public realm represents the essence of community, development, and people. Whether enhancing a master plan of an entire city district or designing a courtyard, our landscape designers ensure that a concept fits into the context of its existing surroundings, elevating the outdoor experience and bringing together diverse social groups. By providing captivating encounters as well as quiet retreats, we aim to shape a public realm that unites people with both each other and their natural environment.
While well engraved into the fabric of its setting, the public realm created by our landscape designers remains agile and open to evolve with the needs of the community. We put principles of placemaking and sustainability at the forefront of our design to better the world now and in the future. Through global perspective, local experience, innovation of uses, and smart landscape, we activate outdoor spaces and create destination locales that are as enjoyable as they are versatile.
