The team · Tashkent and Madinah

Nobody draws a building alone.

Architecture, structure, MEP, BIM, visualisation and site supervision sit under one roof — six disciplines arguing with each other early, so the argument does not happen later on a site with cranes on it.

01 — Under one roof

Six disciplines, and what each of them decides.

A practice is not a list of job titles. It is a set of decisions, and an agreement about who gets to make each one.

01

Architecture

Decides
What a room is for, how many of them there are, and how a person gets from the door to the window.

Everything downstream is a consequence of the plan. Change it late and six other disciplines redraw with you.

Madinah, in design — 424 keys across 7 room types
02

Structure

Decides
What stands — and the honest price, in plan, of every architectural wish.

Grid, spans, cores, transfers. Height is a structural argument long before it is a silhouette on a skyline.

16 floors above ground, 2 below, to 71.0 m
03

MEP

Decides
How the building breathes: plant, risers, loads, and the void above every ceiling.

Floor-to-floor height is settled here as much as in the elevation. A services drawing that arrives late rewrites the section.

Mechanical · Electrical · Plumbing
04

BIM & technical coordination

Decides
That all six disciplines are describing the same building, and that it is one model.

The point of the model is where the clash is found: on a screen in Tashkent, or by a man on site with an angle grinder.

One model · every discipline in it
05

Visualisation

Decides
What a client sees before anything is committed — and therefore what they believe they are buying.

An image has to be answerable to the drawing behind it. One that promises what the plan cannot deliver is the most expensive thing a studio can produce.

Rendered from the model, not around it
06

Site supervision

Decides
Whether the thing being built is the thing that was drawn.

Someone from the practice on site, comparing what arrived against what was issued, and staying until the two agree.

Worked or working with us.

One practice, drawn as it actually works: everything radiates from one table. Tap anyone to read more.

The room, on an ordinary day.

Six disciplines, two studios, and the arguments that happen early so they do not happen later on a site with cranes on it.

04 — Since 2009

Two hundred people have passed through this practice.

Some for a competition, some for a decade. Architects, engineers, modellers, visualisers and site staff, across five countries and four languages.

That figure counts everyone who has worked here since 2009. It is not the number of people at their desks this morning, and it is not offered as one.

05 — How it is spoken

Four working languages, and one drawing.

Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkey, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. A drawing crosses all five without translation; the conversation around it does not.

06 — A note on names

This page lists disciplines, not headshots.

Project budgets and negotiated contract terms remain private. Standard consultation prices shown on the message page are public.
07 — The seventh chair

If you do one of these six things well, we would like to see it.

Not a promise of a vacancy — an open door. Send the portfolio, the CV, and the projects you personally worked on rather than the ones your office worked on. All four languages are read here.
