Back in 2001, we made our first step into the Middle East market, opening our doors in Doha with a team of just 30 people.
From these humble beginnings we have gone from strength to strength – helping our clients to develop cutting edge energy solutions, build breathtaking developments, and deliver community infrastructure that improves the quality of life for all.
We've helped preserve natural heritage for generations to come with landmark projects such as the Jubail Mangrove Park, Al Raha Gardens and Saadiyaat Beach Apartments, which have created space for communities to flourish. We've even helped to revitalise the cultural heart of Abu Dhabi - Qasr Al Hosn - the emblematic birthplace of the city.
In Qatar our work has spanned designing five-star resorts to undertaking a flood study of the country, protecting coral in the Arabian Gulf and working on the Khalifa Stadium, one of the Doha's premier developments.
Today we are more than 300 people, working on projects right across the Middle East. Backed by a global network of over 10,000 talented professionals, we are proud to have worked on some of the most prominent projects in the region, helping to elevate the Middle East on the global stage.

Building our collective future
Our commitment to building the success of the Middle East continues. Despite the unprecedented changes and uncertainty of the pandemic, our focus is squarely on embracing the challenges ahead.
Our economies are evolving, our way of life is changing, and our cities must respond. We are dedicated to helping our clients make sense of this new reality and ensuring our society continues to flourish for generations to come.
We are proud of where we have come from but are looking firmly to the future. Be it leading the charge in the energy transition or championing innovation through human-centric design and digital experience, we will never stand still in the pursuit of better.
