PROJECTS of AIDEA Philippines, Inc.
a. Globe Tower in Bonifacio Global City

Aidea Philippines Inc. has been
commissioned to design the Globe
Telecom Headquarters (GTHQ) in
Bonifacio Global City, winning the
project through a design competition.
The design commission includes the
integrated services of architecture,
planning, interior design and graphic
environments. Globe Telecom is a
leading telecommunications company in
the Philippines, and the GTHQ will stand
as its flagship store. It is designed as an
iconic building that would represent the
company and everything it stands for.
During the design process, Aidea
thoroughly researched Globe's branding
and incorporated its findings into the
design.
The GTHQ is located at Seventh Avenue corner 32nd Street on a site area of 3,000 square
meters within the city center of Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. The GTHQ will provide its workers
with all the facilities and amenities to encourage and promote efficient working conditions,
otherwise known as good Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ). Facilities will include a cafeteria,
meeting rooms, auditoriums, and a wellness and spiritual center.
The GTHQ will house a total of 4,700 employees. The project is envisioned to be the
showcase of high technology and communications, a symbol of what Globe Telecom is about.
The building is targeted for completion in 2011.

Philippines. The firm currently employs 600+ people within its own 20,000 sqm headquarters

abroad. ASYA’s portfolio features projects of all scales, from individual structures to master-
planned communities. These include shopping malls, luxury residences, high-rise

a. Mactan Cebu International Airport
Mactan-
Cebu
International
Airport (MCIA) is
the second
largest airport in
the Philippines.
To meet traffic
demands a new
Terminal 2 for
international
traffic is planned
to supplement
the existing Terminal 1, which will be converted to Domestic use when T2 completes. Hong
Kong-based architect, Integrated Design Associates, was invited to design the new terminal. The
expanded facility is expected to transform MCIA from a city airport to a world-class international
hub, as the main gateway to the central Philippine region.
The new Terminal 2 is designed for 4 million passengers per annum (MPPA) at the initial
phase of development, and is anticipated to grow to 8 mppa within the next 10 years. The
modular design allows the terminal to expand incrementally, a basic building block configured
for optimum adaptability to meet future change.
Cebu is an internationally well-known holiday destination. The new Terminal 2, as the
gateway to tourist resorts in the region, is designed to echo a resort-like feel while function as a
transport interchange. Its concept is contextual. Like a tropical grand indigenous house in The
Philippines, the terminal has a high pitch roof and low eaves to fend off solar heat and glare. The
uppermost structure is lightweight to withstand seismic activity and its form is well braced against
typhoons. The superstructure is made from sustainable material and capable to be built by local
craftsmen. The building exudes simplicity and warmth to stand it apart from the institutional
coldness typified by many airports. The new Terminal 2 is designed to offer a new experience
for passengers
b. SCAPE
Fittingly described as Scape, after its inception from the landscape and seascape ripple
forms – an ode to the natural setting before the project was realized, Scape is an 11-storey
mixed-use building in MOA Complex, a reclaimed developing town located south of Manila.
Built on a reclaimed area, the inspiration for the building’s façade was drawn from the ripples
of water entrenched on the sandy shores of Manila Bay. The undulating patterns found on the
building’s skin mimic the shape of the sea as it slowly drifts off. In a sense, Scape also aspires
to produce a ripple effect on its neighboring structures as it sets the standard for building green
BPO offices that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient.
Built for a BPO or Business Process Outsourcing office, local firm ASYA Design programmed
33, 013.79 square meters of enclosed office space, and embraced an 800 square meter sky
garden deck located at the eighth level featuring a garden space, smartly identified as Escape.
The sky garden deck is a strikingly landscaped public realm open for socializing space, casual
meetings, events, and intimate gatherings. The garden will have a meandering pond surrounded
by sand-like structures to highlight the design concept of water and sand ripples.
Escape’s most prominent feature is the 5 meter orange Tree that stands tall and cuts through
the 9th and 8th floor offices. Its vibrant tangerine leaves glistens in the light and creates an
enchanting glow that radiates not only on the deck itself, but also from the busy streets of
Macapagal Ave. This gleaming icon is further emphasized against the white and blue rippled
patterns of Scape’s façade.
“The design of the Escape is the guiding principle of the Scape development,” said Albert Yu,
chairman and principal of ASYA Design. “We have created open green spaces located at multi-
level floors. These are filled with native plant species and makes use of native landscaping. The
communal garden spaces are encased within the two wings of the development providing a
visual connection between indoors and outdoors. Scape’s scenery is based on the belief that a
sustainable approach to land development is necessary because it ultimately creates and
preserves the maximum value of the resultant development and their associated amenities.”
Scape has been awarded Best Mixed-Use Office Project at the Philippine Urban Land
Institute Healthy Places last July 2016. ASYA Design has been awarded the 2016 Philippines’
Best Sustainable Architecture Firm by the Sustainable Building Awards presented by UK BUILD
magazine.

Edward Co Tan + Architects aims to provide not just

quality but outstanding service to clients.
 Education, Healthcare, Residential, Government
Areas they serve: Philippines
Recognized as one of the most awarded architectural firms in the country, Edward Co Tan
+Architects, or ECT+A, has committed to designing, building and developing structures and
communities that move and inspire our society.
The company has forged since its inception in 2002 an enviable reputation of achieving
excellence and quality in its projects to meet the demanding standards of architecture and
building industry professionals as well as the satisfaction of its clients.
In line with the multidisciplinary design practice, the firm’s philosophy of having all parties on
a project collaborate creatively in multidisciplinary teams is highly valued by clients for its design
results and economic effectiveness. Today, that reputation remains the cornerstone of the
company’s continued success. The company pursues to provide not just quality but outstanding
service to its clients. With this in mind, the firm is guided by effectiveness and efficiency in all its
designs in three major aspects: construction cost, space planning and sustainable operation.
Edward C. Tan, principal architect at ECT+A, said: “We have developed a system in
designing buildings unlike others. We would like to offer our services that emphasize on
efficiency for a better yield to your business. This system is much more economical than others,
considerably by at least 5 percent, without sacrificing the integrity of the structure and quality of
materials.”
He explained: “Our technique considers all aspects of construction. Structural concerns

(mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection) are never left unconsidered. Our aim, in
fact, is utilizing structure as architecture. We plan not just the area but the volume as well,
considering not just the shape but the form. However, we are different because we key in the
cost factor by strategizing the unusable versus the sellable volume, which is probably never
observed by others in the industry.”
Some of the most recognizable projects of the firm include the cylindrical Del Rosario Building
in BGC, The Sanctuarium in Quezon City, and the upcoming World Hotel and Residences in
Quezon City.

families, extending help and support to the front lines on the street and in the healthcare facilities
by providing them with protective essentials and necessities; contributing to feeding programs;

2018, on the occasion of the 35th founding anniversary. Now known as JSLA Architects,

Undoubtedly, the most recognizable project designed by the firm is the Mall of Asia
Arena, the leading venue for large-scale events in the Philippines. Notable residential projects
embarked on by the firm on the other hand include Luxe Residences in Taguig, and H Hotel by
Harolds in both Cebu and in Quezon City.
a. Mall of Asia
The Mall of Asia Arena is a 15,000 seat multi-purpose venue located in the Mall of Asia
Complex, Pasay, Metro Manila. The 52,000 sqm (561,876-square-foot) venue was designed
primarily to accommodate concerts and basketball games, but can also be configured to allow
for boxing, theater, fashion, and ice-skating shows. The arena forms an integral part of a larger
mixed-use masterplan built on reclaimed land facing Manila Bay. The masterplan is centered
around the Mall of Asia, and includes the SMX convention center, the E-com office complexes,
future hotel and serviced apartment developments, and a multi-storey carpark annex.
Design challenges included a limited 16,000 sqm (172,158-square-foot) site, which required
the arena to span over an adjacent road; and a high water table, which placed a limit on
basements and required the construction of an 8-storey carpark annex, housing over 1,400
parking spaces. The installation of the arched roof-trusses proved particularly challenging,
requiring the coordination of multiple construction teams & cranes to hoist them up.
The arena form is designed like a big eye, resting on top of a slanted podium plinth. This
allows it to hold the large volume of the interior court within a dramatic vaulted space, while
providing a distinctive identity to the arena as a whole. The whole eye is intended to function as
a multi-media screen, projecting images of ongoing or future events, and forms a dramatic view
from the arrival circle of the larger masterplan complex. It also provides the perfect architectural
image for a venue dedicated to spectator sports and events.

Consultation, Construction Support Services, and Construction Management. It was established
in 1972 and from a modest one-man professional practice, and has grown into a partnership
with personnel currently numbering more than forty, with a host of engineering/specialty
consultants.
Backed by twenty years of skills development and experience, thirty two years of
expertise in professional practice, and supported with Comprehensive Engineering Services, the
firm has been engaged in a wide scope of projects ranging from simple structures to more
complex projects such as Hotels; Townhouses; Multi-Storey Residential Development;
Commercial and Institutional Structures; Socio-Cultural and Community Centers; Industrial,
Resort and Complex Sites.
During the period wherein the firm was known as the private professional practice of
ROGELIO G. VILLAROSA, it was named R. G. VILLAROSA • ARCHITECT and has established
its reputation for functional design and fine workmanship in such projects as: Silahis International
Hotel (now Grand Boulevard Hotel), Philippine Village Hotel Extension, Puerto Azul Clubhouse,
Kings Court I Office Building, BPI – Family Bank Main Office Building, and the National Book
Store chain of establishments and buildings to name a few.
In 1985, the firm became a professional partnership with architect son ROY A.
VILLAROSA, and was henceforth known as R. VILLAROSA • ARCHITECTS (RVA). By this time
the firm has already extended design consultancy and service to clients in Brunei and Mainland
China. The firm has designed over a hundred private residences most of which are located in
the country’s most prestigious communities such as; Forbes Park, Alabang, Dasmariñas Village,
Greenhills, Corinthian Gardens and Valle Verde.
One of the more recent major projects of the firm just completed is the GMA Network
Offices and Studios which is one of the top TV Network company in the country. RVA also
designed the Tektite Towers Building in Pasig City, one of the biggest private office building
complex in the country with a total floor area of approximately 250,000 square meters. Tektite
Towers also houses the Philippine Stock Exchange Centre. To name a few of our completed
projects are the EDSA Shangri-La Plaza Hotel, the Shangri-La Plaza Shopping Mall, in
Mandaluyong City and Gramercy Residences 74storey building, one of the tallest structures in
the Philippines.
For several years, R. Villarosa • Architects has been named as one of BCI Asia’s Top
Ten Architects of the Philippines for the years 2005-2009, 2011 to 2013 and 2016-2017. This
award is bestowed BCI Asia Publications in recognition of the market leaders in the design
industry of the built environment.
The firm had been in the BCI Asia Top 10 for the Philippines for the past three consecutive
years, and is the team behind the Gramercy Residences, the Philippines’ tallest residential
towers. R. Villarosa Architects’ current projects Acqua Private Residences, a six-tower
residential condo project by Century Properties.

Date: Completed (RFO)
Owner/Developer: Century
Limitless Corporation
Acqua Private
Residences is the product of
our long and painstaking
research into the ultimate
experiences yearned for by
the global citizen in a modern
home. We've found the
answer in the reinterpretation of a nature-infused backdrop—of none other than the astonishing
tropical rainforest—into a residential masterpiece that is replete with endless possibilities for a
quiet reprieve or exhilarating leisure.
And perhaps one of the best qualities of this project is its location, which happens to be on
a point where two powerful cities meet: Makati and Mandaluyong. This remarkable location also
speaks of the project's positive impact to its surrounding environs. Acqua is revitalizing an old
industrial area—what was once the Noah's Ark Sugar Refinery— into a bustling center of activity
which, as our masterplanner Broadway Malyan had put it: "an experience that becomes a
destination, and a destination that people can actually say, yes, I want to live there."
Six towers lavish you with private, uninterrupted views of dazzling Makati skyscrapers across
the bridge, the vibrant skyline to the North or the tranquil water down below. Acqua's buildings
are named after some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world.

VISIONARCH-Visionary Architecture, Inc., is a professional and full-service organization
engaged in project development consultancy, architectural and engineering design, and
construction supervision and management services.
Architectural discourse has always revolved around form and function. These are
important aspects, but we believe buildings also have an implicit promise to people, and that is
“Life will be better.” This is what makes buildings aspirational.
Identifying how and incorporating “life enriching design solutions” are what makes a
stronger experiential bond between structures and its users. It is the next step to the basic form
and function. It is what we strive to achieve. We call this LIFE-CENTRIC ARCHITECTURE.
As one of the Philippines’ top architecture studios, VISIONARY ARCHITECTURE INC., in

partnership with the country’s top development companies, has been a major contributor to the
country's development.
Our firm undertakes a wide variety of design disciplines including large-scale residential,
office, hotel, mixed-use community developments and shopping mall complexes.
Its projects include the Circuit Events Pavilion in Circuit Makati, Xavier School in Bonifacio
Global City, and Avida Towers Serin East in Tagaytay. Perhaps the biggest projects of the firm
to date are several projects/sections of Arca South in Taguig, a sprawling mixed-use estate
currently being developed by Ayala Land.
a. Circuit Events Pavilion
Circuit Makati is a 21-hectare

mixed-use development on the former
Sta. Ana Racetrack property of the
Philippine Racing Club Inc. (PRCI).
Soon to rise as Makati’s entertainment
district, Circuit is poised to be the
unequivocal destination for all things
entertainment – with its world-class
indoor theatre, multipurpose entertainment spaces and open grounds integrated with
commercial, hotel and residential blocks. A collaboration among Ayala Land, Inc., PRCI and the
City of Makati, Circuit completes the vision for Makati to be a leading city for entertainment,
lifestyle and business.
b. ARCA South
ARCA South is the next large-scale business and lifestyle district positioned to serve as
the gateway to the south. It is strategically located in proximity to two of the country’s premier
business districts, Makati and Bonifacio Global City.
Within the estate is the ARCA South commercial district, envisioned to be the address of
businesses that value synchronicity and accessibility. It is highly accessible to residential
communities, innovative workspaces and diverse lifestyle destinations. The commercial lots are
located within a comfortable distance to residential enclaves; Ayala Land Premier, Alveo and
Avida. It is also conveniently near key locators such as: the commercial establishment- Ayala
Malls Arca South, office buildings by Ayala Land Offices, a Hotel by Seda; and other
complementing institutions within the development. Green spaces and refreshing streetscapes
are integrated throughout the district.
c. Avida Towers Serin East
For many years, Tagaytay welcomes one of the largest numbers of tourists in the country
thanks to its proximity to Metro Manila. On a typical weekend, droves of people from the capital
flock to Tagaytay for a quick getaway, their most popular destination--the Taal Lake and Volcano.
Land values around this tourism spot have shot up, making it challenging for people who dream
of calling Tagaytay their home to move to this side of the country.
Property developer, Avida Land, sees an opportunity and launched the Serin
condominiums, a mid-rise residential development in Tagaytay highlands. Their promise
to the community and the people wanting to stay there--”live everyday like a vacation.”
Following the success of the first phase of development, Serin West, the developer rolled
out the second phase, the four-tower Serin East.

WILLIAM TI JR.
Principal Architect
William Ti, Jr. is the Principal Architect of WTA Architecture and Design Studio, which he
founded in 2007. William started with designing houses. Even in the most personal type of edifice
– a home, he still worked on incorporating a more personal scale of architecture. By designing
spaces where the natural and innate characteristics of people can take place, he believed that
family members can interact and build better relationships, especially in times of technology and
gadget dependency.
A mind-set of growing and building something bigger and sustainable gave him a new
business framework. His first eureka moment was when he figured that evolving to designing
commercial and retail spaces, particularly banks, would give him a stable flow of projects on the
assumption that banks consistently opened new branches. A second strategy came about from
the idea of doing bigger (and consequently better) every year. The measure for this strategy
would be in revenue, ideally doubling the revenue every year. The third strategy was formed
from the realization that he did not want the firm to develop into a manufacturing office,
duplicating and tweaking old concepts to gain more projects fast. Instead, William wanted to
inculcate in his team a culture of creativity, involvement, and ownership, encouraging them to
develop new ideas and explore new concepts on their own.
While sporting a comparatively smaller project portfolio, WTA is already behind a handful
of notable structures that in the Philippines. This includes Portal Mall along Ongpin Street in
Binondo, Manila, The One Mall in Valenzuela City, and the upcoming Inoza Tower in Bonifacio
Global City.
a. One Mall
Location: Valenzuela City, Philippines

Client: Storeys Status Yatai International Corporation
Plot Area: 7,570 Sqm
Floor Area: 31,400 Sqm
Storeys: 4
Status: Completed
When a shopping mall is considered community-centric and socially relevant architecture?
How does it blend the function of retail that requires economically efficient use of space with the
function of a community center that, in contrast, does not directly generate profit? One Mall
Valenzuela presents a bespoke integration of retail into the community sensibilities. Both
program and form are planned and designed based on the parameters governed by its
stakeholders and context. Situated on a 7,570 square meter plot of land along a considerably
narrow two-way street and the North Luzon Expressway- a major limitedaccess road, it carries
a challenge to be both a soaring icon on one side and a congenial community mall on the other.
Answering the call for open spaces in the urbanized city North of Metro Manila, One Mall
Valenzuela provides an accessible, functional, and safe open space for the community. It is
programmed to maximize the potential of its area to provide a breathing space that the district
currently lacks. The familiarity of greeneries amid a dense urban center is spread throughout the
building along with a link of green open spaces. Flanked by a scandent community plaza from
the street to the sky, it invites the community to explore its surprises. As a result, it allows
permeability from the ground up - creating a space that integrates retail with relaxation and
community interaction. More than functioning as a place to shop, it becomes a place to mingle,
relax, and linger which is consequently good for enterprises in terms of foot traffic
b. Inoza Tower
Location: Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City

Client: Inoza Properties
Plot Area: 2,494 Sqm

Floor Area: 12,922 Sqm
Storeys: 19
Status: Completed
Designated to be the headquarters of Bounty

Fresh, one of the leading poultry suppliers in the
country, Inoza Tower serves to symbolize the meteoric
rise of this company from its humble roots. The
development was a celebration of the company and its
family of workers. It is a vision of a brighter future,
limitless horizons and an increasing presence of a
growing organization. As a symbol for bounty fresh,
the 19-storey Inoza Center shall provide increasing
brand awareness with a sense of progressiveness, modernity, and stability. There is no feeling
of cutting corners here. Its design is a differentiating factor that elevates the brand and delivers
one clear message: a message of endless possibilities.

Members of the Firm

RAYMOND HERNANDEZ
Principal Architect
Making dreams of beautiful and functional spaces a reality is

what the team of H1 Architecture does for more than a decade. With
over 20 years of combined experience working across Asia, Australia
and the Middle East, co-founders, Raymond Hernandez and Juan
Serina set up their own platform with a unique perspective on global
architecture.
In those days, most large-scale planning and architecture

projects in the Philippines were awarded to foreign architectural
design consultants as lead designers, while the major Philippine architectural firms acted as
partners, responsible only for construction documentation. By establishing their office, Raymond
and Juan set an initial goal to put into practice what they had learned and changed the way they
designed large complex projects in the Philippines. They started out by participating and winning
numerous design competitions organised by some of the country's biggest developers.
A combination of Raymond’s ambition, passion, optimism, and vision with Juan’s focus,
discipline, and experience became an ideal formula for their partnership and foundation of H1
Architecture in 2007.
Today H1 Architecture is a well-established full-service design firm creating holistic
design solutions in the field of architecture, master-planning, urban design, and interior design.
The company works on a wide range of luxury developments, among which complex mixed-use
developments, hotels, resorts, shopping malls, residential and office buildings, casinos, and
entertainment developments. With one of the largest portfolios of high-profile projects in the
Philippines, it has earned the trust of investors and property owners.
H1 Architecture is focused on improving the quality of thinking behind every project, and the
innovations brought about by the invaluable experiences in leading extremely diverse building
types and scale lead to the successful completion of several award-winning major developments
for their innovation and commercial success.
The H1 team’s guiding philosophies let them shape the future through a deep and
thorough understanding of context and a narrative perspective. One of the aspects of H1
Architecture’s philosophy is that creating of narrative-driven structures paves the way for framing
human stories and shaping the places.
The company’s designers and architects creatively respond to constraints and context,
and as a result, come up with innovative solutions. H1 Architecture is also now focusing its efforts
to evolve, broaden, and rethink how its successful ideas can be translated into solutions for
international planning and architectural design projects. The holistic approach and distinct
perspectives create a positive impact on people, places, and the environment. This mind-sets is
what makes H1 Architecture naturally unique and different from others.
H1’s key projects include Fora Mall in Tagaytay, Parkway Corporate Center in Alabang,
Soltana Nature Residence in Cebu, Panglao Oasis in Taguig, and Six Senses Resort in Pasay
City, among numerous others.

Types of Architecture Firms
1. Efficiency Based
This model is for architecture offices that can deliver projects faster or for less money
than the firms you are competing with for work.
Typically this means that you have developed a design and production process that is
efficient and streamlined and are constantly looking for ways to improve upon it to make it more
efficient. You have also selected projects that are simple to execute and allow for repetitive
processes.
To take advantage of your design process efficiencies, efficiency based firms often do
less complex projects, or take on similar projects to those they have already completed. Further,
these firms tend to offer a limited range of services, or standard scope of work, that is familiar
and repeatable.
The advantage to limiting the type and complexity of the work you take on is that you can
reuse details, notes, and other documentation to keep the work hours to a minimum while still
delivering quality documents. The goal is to be efficient in every aspect of your practice.
For example, if you are working on multi-family housing projects you may reuse unit
layouts, or make all the bathrooms the exact same design, saving a tremendous amount of time
and work.
If you do custom residential projects there may be wall assemblies and foundations types
that you can reuse on all of your projects, or standard window details that don’t need additional
attention.
Find the places where you don’t have to reinvent everything from scratch to keep your
work hours to a minimum.
For this business model your ideal client is one that is looking for simple design solutions,
may have a tight timeline, and is budget conscious. This could be residential developers, retail
chains, or even small projects like Accessory Dwelling Units.
The goal is to stick to standards and deliver projects quickly and efficiently in a very
predictable process.
Another approach for this business model is taking advantage of new technology or tools
to improve upon standard project delivery. There is potential to leverage new technology to give
your firm an advantage over established architecture companies.
For instance, digital scanning, BIM, virtual reality renderings or AI may be places to focus
on that could make the design and documentation process faster and more efficient.
This dedication to technology might make convincing clients to go with a particular design
faster. Practices should constantly look for ways or new tools that can help reduce the time it
takes to deliver work and thus increase the profits for your firm.
Due to the repeatable design process, the relatively simple project types, and/or the
standardization of your deliverables, this model lends itself to having a large production staff
working under a smaller group of experienced architects and partners.
This can include giving recent graduates or junior architects jobs to help with production,
thus keeping your labor costs down and providing them with much-needed work experience to
help advance their careers.
This approach also allows companies to consider remote working or even outsourcing
some of the production work to further save on costs and expand the number of projects you
can take on.
The goal with this staffing structure is to have the partners focused on acquiring new
projects and have the more affordable staff leading the design and production of those projects.
You are really looking for a large quantity of projects that you can deliver seamlessly.
This isn’t the model that most architects dream about when starting their firm. However,
if you find an inefficiency in the market, this business model could lead to tremendous profits.
One of the most profitable firms I know fits into this business model. What do they do?
They work on chain restaurants across the country and adapt a standard kit of parts to fit
whatever new space the restaurants are moving into.
The work deploys standard materials and details on every project that are simple and
repetitive. By keeping their process super-efficient, improving upon it and maintaining a large
production staff of junior architects, they’ve developed an incredibly profitable business while
providing a great work/life balance for the owners and actually are able to pay their staff slightly
above the market rate for their experience level.
This is also a business model that is easier for new firms to market for, as they may not
have the portfolio or reputation to go after complex projects, but can compete on price or market
their experience with new technology or a streamlined design-process - places that younger
architects may be more adept than older practitioners.
2. Experienced Based
This is probably the most common model that architects pursue when setting out to start their
own firms. Experience-based practices aim to provide design services to clients and solve
unique and challenging problems.
By relying on their past experience and expertise, these firms can take on more complex
project types and market themselves as knowing what they are doing to address the needs of
their clients.
Some of these firms still focus on particular markets. For example, I worked at a firm that I
would put in this category that specialized in higher education projects, community centers, and
performing arts centers.
Within these project types they would design custom solutions based on the specific needs
of the client, responding to site context and budget, and the technical requirements of the
building’s program.
They developed a strong reputation as being able to successfully deliver significant, complex,
and technically challenging projects.
At the same time, they utilized their reputation to expand into new markets and go after a
variety of projects beyond their core focus as the economy shifted.
To achieve this, they leveraged their past relationships and their portfolio to acquire new
work, often through the public RFP/Q process.
When you are starting a new firm and want to be an experience based architectural practice,
you will have to rely on the reputations and past portfolio of you and your business partners.
You will need to clearly demonstrate that the experience you have gained before starting your
own business will translate to being able to deliver similar projects.
The challenge lies in convincing clients that although the firm is new, the partners have a
proven track record, the design staff is capable, and the firm contains all of the design experience
needed to solve complex design challenges by managing the team needed to deliver significant
projects on time and on budget.
This can be hard when first starting out, but after a few projects under your belt the firm could
grow quickly. The structure for staffing these firms also differs from the efficiency based firms.
Marketing to clients for projects that are more complex and unique, you have to prove that
your team has the skills and experience to match the project’s needs.
When just starting out this often means the first couple of hires should be more experienced
architects that have worked on projects in your target markets.
This also means that as you grow you often need a larger proportion of project managers or
project architects that can bring this level of experience to your office.
These employees will of course cost more than less-experienced production staff so
balancing the right mix of experience and production is a challenge that must be overcome to
maintain profitability.
There is also the obstacle to avoid having the partners or experienced staff getting too
involved in the design process and thus blowing through the fee too quickly, when junior staff
could handle the work and gain valuable experience.
Thus project management and staffing is vital for this business model to be successful and
for the firm to remain profitable.
3. Expertise Based
This business model is for the architects who have a great depth of knowledge about a
specific project type or topic, or for those who have demonstrated exceptional design abilities.
These firms are the “starchitects” who have built a reputation based on their award-winning
design abilities or consultant firms of specific technically challenging projects.
For instance, these could be firms that won the Pritzker Prize, or specialize in the design
of acoustically challenging performing arts buildings, or maybe the technically challenging
research science laboratories, or even code consultants.
Another example would be firms that are developing and mastering new technology.
Frank Gehry’s office is an example of a firm that has done a combination of these - he is
sought after for his eye-catching design aesthetics and his firm has developed new software to
allow his complex curving forms to be designed and fabricated.
He also takes on challenging cultural projects that necessitate a certain level of expertise
to execute.
Other firms might publish research about a particular topic, or be a consultant that knows
the latest innovations in a particular building system or requirement. Either way, these firms have
some special knowledge or talent that makes them sought after and allows them to demand
higher fees for their work. The financial model with these offices is that by becoming an in-
demand expert in your field you can demand higher fees or hourly rates.
Although many starchitect offices grow into large companies with many employees, this
business model is also potentially lucrative for sole practitioners or small partnerships who offer
a unique skillset or base of knowledge.
In both of these cases, the staffing needs tend to be very top heavy, where the principal
or partners are in high-demand and thus need to work directly on the billable projects. There
would be some support staff below them to assist with the execution of the work, but the
principals are really engaged in the work itself, rather than being focused on managing the firm
or finding new clients.
These firms also often look to partner with other architectural offices to execute the full
scope of architectural work. They can either act as the design architects - with an architect of
record brought on to help with production or they may be specialty consultants themselves
brought onto a project by another firm to help navigate particularly challenging technical
problems.
Often these firms will look to bring on administrative staff to support the principals earlier
in the growth of the firm than the other business models, although if you are keeping the firm
small and acting as more of a specialty consultant you may be able to avoid management
overhead altogether. This could be an ideal option for sole practitioners who have a valuable
base of knowledge.
Rather than rely on personal relationships and traditional business development and
marketing strategies, these firms rely on their reputation and their innovations to drive new
businesses. Design awards, publications, research, and their portfolio is what sells their services
and attracts new clients. This also requires continual education to maintain your expertise and
reputation in the field.
STARTING AN ARCHITECTURAL OFFICE (ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE,
LOCATION, AND MARKETING STRATEGIES)
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
For setting up an architectural firm/organization/establishment the architect
Type of must consider the following basic requirements:
Organization:
Selecting the type of organization (Partnership or Proprietorship or government),

defining shares and getting the Firm Registered.
1. Partnership Firm:
It is a firm established by a mutual agreement between two or more partners to run a

firm under a designated name and symbol. The partners share all profit and losses,
duties, liabilities and responsibilities. There are two forms of Partnership: General
Partnership and Limited Partnership
(a) Advantages:
 Sharing of Responsibility and no individual will be liable for everything.
 Ability to organize large organizations of employees, take up larger projects and offer
more services under one roof thus gathering more profit.
 Access to more capital and skills because of more members.
 Competition and Burden of Tax is reduced.
(b) Disadvantages:
 Slow in taking decisions due to larger members of people involved in decision making.
 Work can get slow due to communication gap among workers and quality of work can
suffer due to differences/disagreement in the ideas of the partner.
 Unlimited financial liability with limited Sources of Capital and Unsatisfactory Division of
Profits.
2.Single Proprietorship Firm:
It is the easiest and simplest mode of a consultancy Firm, where the Principal Architect
will be solely responsible for all decisions. He can employ assistants in his office but
has to give directions to them.
(a) Suitability: Suitable for small and medium sized projects as the architect can provide
complete attention to the project. In case of larger ones, he has to assemble a reliable
team (associates) for the project.
(b) Advantages:
 As a proprietor the architect can enjoy freedom of design and management, all profits
and fame.
 One can take fast decisions, rectify mistakes and execute them.
 Few Legal Restrictions and taxation is only once at personal income tax rate.
(c) Disadvantages:
 Difficulty in raising Capital and starting the firm.
 One shall have to bear all losses and blames for mistakes occurring in projects.
 Any indecisions may delay the projects.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS FOR OFFICE ESTABLISHMENT
Depending upon the investment amount and method and other conditions, the architect
can establish his office or organization in the following ways:
Office in Own Residential Complex:
Most building regulations permit establishment of a small professional office in

one's own residential premises, usually in the basement or ground floor.
(a) Advantages:
This is the easiest way a young practitioner can begin practice.
Avoidable expense and time in commuting to the office is saved as there is no need to
buy expensive office space in any other part of the city.
One can choose personal hours of work depending upon its urgency.
(b) Disadvantages:
Clients and contractors tend to visit beyond office hours; due to which not only personal
privacy but the convenience of other family members can be affected.
Space is a limiting factor.
Buying an Office Premises: Another option is to either hire or buy office premises in
convenient location. But for this one has to find money for the initial payment/investment.
Once the space is bought, the Architect will plan the interior spaces to suit his own ideas and
requirements.
STAFF REQUIREMENTS
Every Architect needs technically qualified staff well as non-technical staff to run his
office. Their number, salaries, service conditions, etc., differ from practice to practice. Staff
salaries and service conditions for small practices are not regulated. The only stipulation for a
small practice is that every employee must be paid a minimum wage.
The fact cannot be denied that the salaries of the technical staff will be far more as
compared to the salaries of non- technical staff. Hence, it will be essential to analysis man
hours spent by technical staff on the following:
 Drawings, Design, Revision, Checking

 Meetings, Discussions, Telephoning and Site Survey & Supervision.
 Reference to technical Literature and Time for research
 Correspondence and Report preparation.
 Staff Supervision and directing activities of the team.
10 Marketing Strategies for Architecture Firms
Strategy #1 – Use Social Media
Do not underestimate the importance

of digital marketing for architecture firms.
Those free social media pages can be your
gateway to new clients, if you use them
properly.
The biggest mistake you can make is to create a social media page and then leave it to stagnate.
Any followers you attract early on will abandon the page, plus you won’t attract any new
followers.
Instead, you need a full social media marketing strategy. Furthermore, you have to consider the
platform itself. For example, LinkedIn is a professional social network. As such, you should use
it to network and establish yourself as an authority in the sector. By contrast, Pinterest is an
image-based network. You can use it to host images from your portfolio that may inspire people
to talk about you.
Adopting social media may offer you an edge over your competition. After all, many architecture
firms don’t make full use of their social media profiles. This leaves a gap in the market that you
can use to build your firm’s reputation and brand.
Strategy #2 – Define Your Position
You may hear people talk about the 4 P’s

of marketing for architects. This structure
outlines the four key concerns architects must
keep in mind when creating their marketing
strategies.
Your position in the market is one of the “P’s”. You need to tell your clients exactly who you are
and what you can do for them.
A quick browse of some architectural firms’ websites will show you how not to put this P into
practice. Many firms try to become multitasking marvels. They’ll list every architectural discipline
under the sun in an effort to attract some clients. However, this tactic creates the impression that
the firm may not offer quality. Think of the old cliché of “a jack of all trades is a master of none”.
It applies very well in this situation.
You need to avoid this. To do that, set your stall out early on. Let potential clients know what you
specialise in, and provide examples of your work. Yes, some clients may not need that service.
However, those who do will be more likely to choose your company over a multi-discipline
company because you have a firm position in the market.
Strategy #3 – Use Lead Generation Services
It may be one of the older marketing strategies for architecture firms, but lead generation
services do work. In fact, many people point to this as the fastest marketing strategy in the sector.
Lead generation takes several forms. Cold calling is one of the most prominent. A
company will obtain the data of thousands of individuals. Using this data, plus the information
you provide about your firm, they’ll make calls in the hope of getting people interested in your
services. It’s a form of direct marketing that does produce results. However, it can also turn
people off if they don’t want the disruption of a phone call.
Other lead generation companies use digital marketing. They’ll create websites to
advertise your services. Usually, these sites contain forms that the company uses to capture
visitor information. If a visitor enters their information, it gets sent to you, and you can treat it like
a hot lead. After all, this person has just shown an interest in your company.
Lead generation campaigns put you in front of a lot of people very quickly. However, you’ll
also need to prepare yourself for a lot of unqualified leads.
Strategy #4 – Invest in Your Website Portfolio
Many architectural firms are behind the curve when it comes to digital marketing. They
see their websites as simple business cards. They’ll provide some basic details, rather than
using the site to build the firm’s brand.
You should avoid this mistake because digital marketing for architecture firms is a very
powerful tool. Your website offers you the opportunity to showcase your wares like few other
marketing tools. For example, you can host every part of your portfolio on your website to attract
potential clients. You may find that the quality of the images in your portfolio alone could be
enough to bring in new business. Make those images shareable on social media and you’re on
your way to creating a great digital strategy.
Closely consider every message you send out via your website. Each piece of content
needs to serve a purpose. Clutter leads to bad web design, which will turn visitors off. Remember
that your website offers you the opportunity to tell your story. Grasp it with both hands.
Strategy #5 – Start Speaking in Public
Does anybody in the industry know who you

are? Why not?
It’s probably because you aren’t getting out

there and building a reputation for yourself. While
posting content online can help you to develop your
firm’s brand, some clients are going to want to see
that you are the real deal.
This is where public speaking engagements could become a crucial technique for selling
architectural services.
Public speaking offers you a captive audience. The room will be full of people who want
to hear your opinions. More importantly, as a speaker, you place yourself in a position of
authority. You become an influencer because your opinion is now louder than everybody else’s.
Of course, you need to back that impression up with your presentations. Public speaking
won’t help if you can’t deliver a potent message. Practice for every engagement and make sure
you always have a clear message to deliver. Get it right, and your audiences will grow, which
means more opportunities for your firm.
Strategy #6 – Work on Your Elevator Pitch
Have you developed an elevator pitch for your firm? This isn’t the bulky sales pitch that
you may use in full conversations with potential clients. Instead, your elevator pitch is a quick
description of what your firm does. It should be short, snappy, and to the point.
Ideally, your elevator pitch should last no more than a minute. That shortness is the point.
You should be able to deliver it anywhere, without taking up too much of the listener’s time.
Figure out your firm’s value proposition, which is the thing that separates your firm from
the competition. Work that into the pitch, alongside a snippet of your story. Keep trimming it down
until you have a pitch that delivers the essence of what makes your company so good.
A strong elevator pitch is one of the key marketing strategies for architecture firms. Hone
yours until you know it will break the ice at the start of any conversation. The pitch should leave
the potential client wanting more, so always keep that in mind.
Strategy #7 – Get Yourself Published
Nothing builds your reputation faster than getting published. Happily, there are plenty of
options available to architects. Conducting studies and publishing white papers will earn
recognition from those in the industry. You may open up new opportunities thanks to the quality
of your work alone.
However, getting published involves more than educational work. Any space you take up
in newspapers and industry magazines is valuable for your marketing efforts. It all adds to your
air of authority. If people see you as an expert in the industry, they’re more likely to listen when
you’re selling architectural services.
A common strategy is to mention something that you can provide to readers in your
articles. For example, you may have a booklet that offers useful information. If your article is
good enough, your readers will want to read more.
Of course, you need to think about where you’re getting published. A great article doesn’t
mean much if the wrong people read it. Research relevant publications and start building
connections with editors to improve your chances of getting published.
Strategy #8 – Circulate Your
Newsletter
Let’s circle back round to digital

marketing for architecture firms. You may have
a great website that attracts visitors, but how do
you keep
those people engaged? They may like

what they see on the site, but may need your
services right now. If you don’t keep that
prospect engaged, you may slip out of his or her mind by the time they could use your services.
This is where creating a newsletter could help. Use your website to ask visitors to opt into a
weekly or monthly email. A simple form asking for an email address is often enough. Many
people offer an added incentive, such as a free booklet, for signing up.
Once you have the user’s email address, you can start sending newsletters. This will keep you
at the top of the person’s mind, meaning you’re one of the first ports of call when they need
architectural services.
Strategy #9 – Don’t Discard Old Leads
A lot of firms get rid of their old leads when they don’t come to fruition. It’s an
understandable decision. After all, why should you focus on old leads when you can chase new
ones?
That’s a valid point, but it ignores circumstance. A lead may not have converted because
the prospective client wasn’t in a position to use your services at that time. All this means is that
you were selling architectural services at the wrong time.
Let’s say that somebody contacted you about your services. After some discussion, the
client decided not to go ahead. There could be any number of reasons for that.
Instead of discarding that client’s details, think about whether it’s worth following up later
on. Wait for a couple of weeks and send an email asking if the client is still interested in whatever
you discussed.
Yes, some will answer in the negative. However, others may now be in a position to move
forward. If you hadn’t contacted them, you may never have had the chance to turn that lead into
a client.
Strategy #10 – Adopt New

Technologies
The ideas behind how to sell

architectural design change constantly. Five
years ago, it was enough to create interesting
models in a digital design software package.
Today, we have new technologies, such as
virtual reality. There are also new methodologies, like Building Information Modelling.
A key part of selling architectural services is staying ahead of the pack. Clients want to work with
companies that move with the times.
Think about it like this. Your company is one of five that is presenting to a potential client. The
other four companies go through their portfolios and models during their presentations. Then,
you enter the room with virtual reality hardware. Instead of talking the client through your ideas,
you can use virtual reality to show them.
Who do you think the client is going to be most impressed with?
Adopting new technologies will help you to market your firm. In fact, moving forward with, or
even ahead of the industry will set you apart from your competitors.
BUSINESS ASPECTS AND LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS FOR AN ARCHITECTURAL OFFICE
Designated architect
As part of the process for registration or licensing of an architect firm, some states require
that a firm has a “designated architect”. A designated architect is typically responsible for all final
architectural decisions on behalf of the firm with respect to work performed in the state.
A designated architect must be registered to practice in that state and hold a position of
responsibility within the business structure such as a:
 Partner – if you operate a Partnership or Limited Liability Partnership

 Manager – if you operate a Limited Liability Company
 Director – if you operate a Corporation or Professional Service Corporation
 Controlling principal of other business structures
The designated architect may be required to take an examination or qualify by reciprocity

with a state in which they are already licensed.
Business structure restrictions
In some states, not all business structures may legally provide architectural and other
professional services.
For example, in New York, generally, licensed professionals may not set up a general
business corporation (S Corp or C Corp) to provide professional services. They must form either
a professional corporation (PC), design professional service corporation (DPC), or a professional
limited liability company (PLLC).
In California, architectural services may be offered by a general corporation (S Corp or C

Corp), registered limited liability partnership, or professional corporation. However, LLCs are not
allowed to provide architectural services.
Name requirements and restrictions
When it comes to a company name, you must consider a state’s business entity and
industry-related naming requirements. Architectural/design firm license applications may be
denied if your firm name conflicts with the specific requirements of a state.
Legal entity naming requirements, vary by state, but can include rules such as:
 The name of a legal business entity must be distinguishable on the record of the state
government. That means that it can’t be substantially like another name already in use
by a business incorporated or registered to transact business in that state.
 Your name must show your business type. Most states require that the company name
be followed by a specific identifier, such as "Corporation", "Incorporated", or an
abbreviation such as "Inc." or "Corp" for corporations, "Limited Liability Company" or the
abbreviation of "LLC" for LLCs, "Limited Partnership" or the abbreviation "LP" for limited
partnerships, or "Limited Liability Partnership" or the abbreviation of "LLP" for limited
liability partnerships.
Your firm may decide to do business under an assumed name (or DBA, “doing business as”)
rather than its legal entity name. Keep in mind that:
 You must follow every state’s specific DBA requirement for your business type.
 You must follow the state’s specific naming requirements for architecture businesses.
 Some states even require registering in multiple locations, like the county or city where
you’re doing business
Ownership
States may have ownership requirements for architecture firms, such as having at least
one owner or member who is a licensed architect in the state. These requirements can vary by
state and by business entity type.
For example, in Pennsylvania, a limited liability partnership must meet the following
requirements:
 At least two-thirds of the partners are licensed under the laws of any state to practice
architecture, engineering or landscape architecture.
 At least one-third of the partners is licensed under the laws of any state to practice
architecture.
 At least one partner is a licensee of the Board.
A standard business corporation in Pennsylvania must have:
 At least two-thirds of the directors licensed in a state to practice architecture,

engineering or landscape architecture.
 At least one-third of the directors licensed in a state to practice architecture.
 At least one director is a licensee of the Board.
 At least two-thirds of all classes of voting stock issued and outstanding at any one
time are owned by architects, engineers or landscape architects.
 At least one-third of each class of voting stock issued and outstanding at any one time
are owned by individuals licensed in a state to practice architecture.
Maintaining compliance
Maintaining compliance with architecture business licenses requires diligent tracking and
coordination.
As part of maintaining good standing of your firm’s licenses, you must file renewal
applications, manage qualifier licenses, update records with agencies, and track continuing
education credits.
Business license renewals are required every one to two years. Your firm must bear the
following in mind:
 If your firm has been the subject of disciplinary action by a state licensing board, you
must disclose this in your license renewal.
 Track renewals of your architect licenses, especially for architects in charge.
 Have a system in place to track continuing education credits.
 Certain business activities and changes can trigger licensing changes. For example, if
you moved location, exited a market, underwent M&A, or added a new product or service.
Any amendments to your business entity (ex. corporation, LLC) may require you to amend
your formation document (Articles of Incorporation, Articles of Organization). For example, if
your corporation or LLC underwent a name change, you will have to file articles of amendment
for the change to be legally effective. You will also need to notify or file the change with issuing
license or registration authorities. Certain states also require any name change to be approved
by the board of architects.
When the qualifying professional changes or leaves your business, you will need to update
your business license to reflect the change. This typically involves filing an application notifying
the governing board of the removal of the old qualifying party and the designation of the new.
Lastly, to remain in good standing, it's important to fulfill all annual report requirements. This
includes filing delinquent reports for businesses that were dissolved during the year.
CT Corporation can help
For architectural firms, licensing and entity management will always be complex. But with
the right technology and support, your firm can navigate these complexities with confidence,
agility, and efficiency.
Outsourcing business registration and license research, applications, management, and
renewals can help you take the pressure off internal resources. By working with a full-service
management provider who specializes in the efficient processing of business licenses, permits,
and registrations, you can free up your time to focus on starting and growing your business while
ensuring you keep up with changing compliance requirements.
