ARCHITECTONICUS. Improving the lives of vulnerable people. http://architectonicus.co.uk

As care designers, we utilize a special Mind in Mind approach. Reducing utility costs, such as heating and water. Improving the staff environment and easing delivery of care; increasing staff retention and attraction for new, high quality staff. 

As care designers, we create environments that, through their base structure and space planning, are easy to extend, simple to reorganize or develop, so you can move with the  times. Maintenance is easy.

We work with you, through our expertise and ongoing research into the experience of recovering from or living with complex physical or psychological diagnosis, the needs of carers for those people, and how the environment can support all aspects of everyday life. 

Designing to lift the spirit makes sense. Designing for wellbeing, in concert with patient, resident, staff and management requirements increases long term profits and economies, and need not increase short term costs. It's about working closely with our client, those they care for, and involving the human factor in design thinking.

William McMorran _ director at Architectonicus.

HB DESIGN. http://hbdesign.biz/

I am currently working for more two years and a half in HB DESIGN    based in Singapore, with three more offices, Bangkok, Phuket (Thailand) and Jakarta (Indonesia).

An international company run by Hans Brouwer , an ex Norman Foster . 

He was involved in The Century Tower and Kawana Houses in Tokyo and promoted director in 1992 .He moved to Frankfurt to set up the design office responsible for the new headquarters tower for the Commerzbank..

“HB Design’s influence has spread throughout Asia with projects in China, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam as well as further afield in the Middle East, Mongolia, Spain and the United States.

Their portfolio of work displays a consistent output of finely crafted buildings with a high degree of sophistication. The hallmark of the work is a clean contemporary expression that responds creatively to the unique requirements of each project.

Notable amongst these is the 72 floors River Development which comprises more than 2 million sqft of residential real estate in one of Thailand’s tallest inner city developments and was awarded the Best Condominium Development in South East Asia in the 2012 South East Asia Property Awards. 

HB Design also maintains a site based presence in India to ensure that their exact design and construction standards are realized in the execution of their numerous and geographically diverse projects throughout the sub-continent.” From the website

HB design is an international firm with people from several countries. We develop fast deadlines with huge amounts of real state requirements in the South East Asian market, one of the most competitive and aggressive in the world. We also follow and coordinate every project in its different phases to make sure our design comes alive as per our standards.

I have more than 2 years experience working in India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and China projects. As an architect, this prepares you to face unexpected changes and to deal with tight deadlines. Every project requires a large amount of parking requirements, housing facilities such as clubhouses, pools, retail. We combined the big demands on real state with clean and contemporary design with green architecture awareness.
