Company Description
Bureau of Excellence in Architecture & Design;
Bead
Architects & Engineers is a progressive and dynamic design firm that provides the entire value-chain from cutting edge Architecture and Urban Planning to providing Structural & MEP Design services through its affiliated companies.
Being a contemporary oriented and research-based design firm, BEAD have differentiated itself from the majority of the other regional firms, adding a valuable measure of credibility to its design services.
As architects, designers and engineers from BEAD participate in development projects involving research-based architectural design and urban planning, they are able to work with master developers, local agencies, municipal officials and professionals in the field.
The most rewarding aspect of our active outreach approach is that we learn how to use progressive design methodology as a tool to advance and negotiate intelligent design solutions to serve and promote your development criteria.
At our studio, multiple areas are sought so design, planning and scholarly research go hand in hand.
As a matter of fact, a very important difference in BEAD doing the service from other local design firms is the efforts we put in complimenting design tasks with a thorough research effort whether the latter goes into up-to-date design theories, building materials or new construction technologies.
It is by contradiction to policies of most of the practicing consultancy firms in the region, BEAD approaches the services of design and architecture as a sacred profession rather than a commercial business.
We currently operate out of our Abu Dhabi base, a decent environment of 500 sqm modern offices and employ 20+ high caliber professionals.
