Security and safety have long been designed into psychiatric facilities. We attend to ligature points and durability, as well as the group dynamics within this environment.

In the shadow of Dubai’s dense forest of megaliths, a low-slung blip of a building represents an extremely promising architectural development. It’s the world’s first fully functioning office that was 3-D printed. Initially, it was envisioned as a solution for relief housing in disaster areas, thanks to the low cost and quick turnaround. But an intriguing opportunity came from the Dubai Future Foundation, which needed a field office while constructing its Museum of the Future.

If you want to succeed with your professional growth goals, choose one or two key areas of focus that align with what really matters to you.
