Expertise/Ways of Working Together
Consortium
One team carries the work: what is settled in the first sketches reaches the site without being retold through third parties. Below — what the service covers, how it is run, and what comes out of it.
No practice is the best at every discipline
A regional master plan asks for one combination of expertise, a resort for another, a large engineering object for a third, an urban regeneration for a fourth. We assemble the structure around the task rather than fitting the task to our own payroll.
Regional Master Plan
Territory
Master planning, mobility, the economics of the territory, landscape, sustainability.
Hospitality
Resort and hotel
Specialist architecture, hotel operator, interiors, local engineering.
Large-scale Engineering
Engineering object
Structure, building systems, specialist institutes, energy efficiency.
Urban Regeneration
Urban regeneration
Urbanism, the sociology of the environment, development economics, work with government.
The core stays constant. The set changes
SAD carries the architecture, the design leadership and the local part of a project. Around that core, the disciplines this particular project needs are brought in for the task.
A network built around competences
The network grows with the projects. Below are the disciplines SAD brings external expertise into; the companies themselves appear here once a collaboration is confirmed.
Architecture
Architecture and design
Specialist practices for typologies that call for dedicated experience. Partners are published once the collaboration is confirmed.
Urban
Master planning and urbanism
Teams working on territorial planning, mobility and urban economics. Partners are published once the collaboration is confirmed.
Engineering
Engineering
Structural and services engineers and specialist institutes. Partners are published once the collaboration is confirmed.
Landscape · Mobility
Landscape and mobility
Landscape architects and mobility specialists. Partners are published once the collaboration is confirmed.
Hospitality · Economics
Operators and economics
Hotel operators and project economics consultants. Partners are published once the collaboration is confirmed.
Sustainability · Research
Sustainability and research
Sustainability, certification and applied research consultants. Partners are published once the collaboration is confirmed.
Expertise moves both ways
→ We bring expertise into the region
International teams for projects in Central Asia
For a task in Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan, SAD assembles an international consortium and carries the project as the architectural practice and the centre of responsibility.
- Assembling the team around the task
- SAD's architecture and design leadership
- Coordinating participants and stages
- Support through to delivery
← We help expertise enter the region
Local Partner for international companies
International architecture, engineering, consulting and development companies work in the region through the Local Partner model.
- Codes and requirements
- Approvals and permit coordination
- Local engineering
- Dealing with government bodies
- Support through delivery
Open to professional collaboration
If your practice is looking at Central Asia, or holds expertise that would make SAD's projects stronger, there is something to talk about.

Architecture firms
Joint authorship, competitions, entering the region's market
Engineering companies
Specialist sections and large objects
Consultants
Economics, mobility, sustainability, landscape
Operators
Hospitality, retail, public functions
