Framework
Sustainable growth depends on architectural synergy. This is why we blend our anthropological philosophy with an effective and analytical mindset, based on curiosity and understanding, applying technology and expertise. Before starting the design process, we listen, research and gather all the data necessary to come up with ideal solutions to be implemented through an integrated and holistic approach that encompasses all sectors and phases of the architectural process. This is our 4-step all-round consultancy service.
1. Strategy
Aim: Achieve an overall vision of the project through an in-depth analysis. Starting by identifying the client’s needs and objectives, we then survey available resources, research local regulations, study the surrounding infrastructure and immerse ourselves in the local culture, even with the help of focus groups that will give us a deep insight into the background, necessities and ambitions of all stakeholders. This way we reach an accurate brief and determine the best budget possible.
2. Project
Aim: Define a project outline. Shape the concept through visual representations, ensure all permits and certificates are obtained, and ensure the projects meet with the expectations of shareholder, stakeholders and local authorities, reaching final approval and go-ahead.
3. Execution
Aim: Prepare a complete tender, taking needs and budget restraints into consideration, identify the best contractors, ensure constant and updated site supervision, provide solutions and shop drawings as requirements arise, arrange and follow testing, commissioning, closing documentation and handover of the projects.
4. Care
Aim: During the handover procedure we help our clients and their staff familiarise with the building or site, helping them make the most out of it and fully enhance their user experience. Furthermore, we can do a future development analysis to identify possible improvements, spare parts requirements and additions.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Our minds shape tomorrow
Architecture embodies social responsability. Every line, space and volume we design has a deep impact on our society. ‘We build buildings that inturn build us’: this is the essence of our work.
Beauty, care, interaction, protection, identity and legacy: these values are inherent in our designs, aimed to guide the generations to come.
Our approach is focused on shaping the lives of tomorrow: sustainability, community, aesthetics and life are our guiding principles.
Our hands shape today
SCA embodies these values not only in our designs but also in our everyday life. We support our community and our neighborhoods; we have established a mentoring program with local schools, with the aim to introduce students to the world of architecture, help them contribute to city development and encourage civic values; we motivate and support our colleagues and personnel to actively participate in social activities, and to reach out to those in need around us.
Our hearts last forever
