Under the topic ‘Affordable Luxury – Is It The New Normal?’, Clinton and his fellow panellists discussed whether increasing numbers of travellers who prefer affordable stays that offer flexibility, choice, technology and value for money will drive an acceleration in growth for the mid-market travel segment. The session also explored how hotel owners and operators intend to navigate this increasing trend in the near future. “It was a very insightful discussion of the major role owners and operators will play in the mid-market segment, and how the GCC will benefit from new travellers following familiar hospitality brands as they make new headway into the Middle East through their mid-market offerings,” Clinton said of the session. “Technology will play an increasing role in the growth of this trend, such as being able to book stays and check in using your mobile phone, among other facilities,” he added. This falls in line with the decree by Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum to encourage the use of smart technologies in various sectors, including Dubai’s hospitality sector. It is hoped this will drive up tourism numbers. SSH has made headway competing for master planning, building design, infrastructure and construction supervision awards on hospitality schemes across the region. The company’s expertise in leading such developments has become more recognised, and now SSH holds a growing number of hospitality projects within its portfolio.

He stated that certain markets and sectors are being hit harder than others and that the key for SSH is to navigate a steady course around the region focusing on our key client relationships and delivering to the very demanding schedules. We are often teamed with international partners and in some cases getting them to appreciate the time and budget pressures that our clients face in this regional market can be a challenge. Also, as with most businesses in the current market conditions, cash flow is critical and must always be a focus for us to earn and collect the cash in a timely manner especially given the tight margins available. I think that we will see a trend towards utilising consultants committed to and based in the region, who can draw upon world class expertise locally to meet the budget and time constraints that our regional clients face. SSH is shaped and focused to respond to this market trend and as one client said ‘you have hit our sweet spot on what we need to deliver our projects’.

In order to do this successfully, the contractor and their team need to understand the client's ambitions and requirements, and that's the key to delivering it successfully". One of the most important criteria a contractor must consider to secure the success of any design and build (D&B) contract is the appointment of the consultant. They need to have the technical expertise, experience and capacity for major fast track D&B delivery. In addition they should command a deep knowledge of the local regulations and approvals processes, critical if delays in the process are to be avoided. SSH believe that it’s false economy to look for the cheapest design quote, it can be a high risk strategy. Contractors should consider the design consultant as a partner in the D&B process and wherever possible look to adopt a collaborative approach. This enables best practice to be shared, 'learning from each other' and repeat business secures better returns for each subsequent project. http://meconstructionnews.com/17665/me-consultant-october-2016 Michael Byron Speaks about Safety DesignMichael Byron Speaks about Safety Design On Wednesday, May 25th, SSH Resident Director Michael Byron will present at the Dubai & Northern Emirates CPD Training series organised by the Charted Institute of Buildings (CIOB).

The school will comprise of 18 teaching and learning spaces for 500 students with additional facilities that include a function space, hall, science laboratories, library, offices and sports areas. It will present an attractive alternative to the standard government administered facilities both in terms of the quality of facilities and the educational standards achieved. It will offer an enhanced learning environment and opportunities for local children in a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere conducive to learning. AMAR currently rents a small office in Basra City which will be replaced by an AMAR owned office built to the Basra Teams requirements. The office and school will share the site with common utilities and systems such as drainage, potable water and power wherever practicable. A series of initial concepts, representations and images were commissioned by the Basra Team who subsequently worked with a small SSH studio team to design both the school and the AMAR office. The design team started by creating a range of inspirational designs that delivered the learning and administrative spaces required and introduced a high level of flexibility in the potential use of spaces so that they may be used for charity functions and wider community use out of school hours. AMAR were not only focussed on potential costs associated with the development but also the simplicity of construction using readily available materials and with a minimum design life of 25 years capable of operating independently of locally supplied utilities (power and water). SSH are proud to be part of the unique opportunity to design and create educational facilities for the future and delighted to offer our specialist assistance to deliver the best possible facilities to support teaching and learning in the region.Navigating the Unique Complexities of Designing Healthcare FacilitiesNavigating the Unique Complexities of Designing Healthcare Facilities SSH’s healthcare specialist, Dr. Angela Burke, presented at this year’s Big 5 construction exhibition in Kuwait. Informed by her experience as a medical planner, she spoke to an international audience as to how design team members can navigate the unique complexities associated with designing contemporary healthcare facilities. She explained the extent to which healthcare design projects vary in speciality and scale. New healthcare facilities can range between an 800 bed facility, such as, SSH’s current Kuwait Children’s Hospital project, to a 7,000 sqm unique stem cell and umbilical cord facility which is currently under construction in the Al-Sabah region of Kuwait. She advised that, regardless of scale or type, a number of key considerations must be addressed and implemented. While similar to other architectural projects, she outlined the extent to which the industry needs to be aware that healthcare design schemes require additional services including health planning, medical planning, medical equipment spatial planning as well as specialist expertise that might include radiation protection and infection control services. Angela recommended establishing an organised management team to co-ordinate the work of large and knowledgeable design teams. Introduced during her presentation was the field of study that emphasises the importance of credible evidence to influence healthcare design is Evidence-Based Design (EBD). This use of knowledge improves patient and staff well-being by minimising patients, family and staff stress. One design strategy described was the introduction of positive distractions (artwork, entertainment and nature) to improve patient healing, stress reduction and better safety. Angela also stressed the need for specialist interior design in medical environments stating that infection control is a major consideration in healthcare environments as well as issues of materiality. Typical items he advised for consideration included slip-resistant and static free flooring, wall protection, chair materiality and strength of structure, and easily cleaned sanitary arrangements positioned in appropriate locations that support EBD and the occupants of the building. In summary Dr. Angela Burke stated that healthcare outcomes continue to benefit greatly from lessons learned as a consequence of recent developments in international healthcare design and the importance of regulation and standards in assisting navigation through the unique complexities of designing for improved healthcare.New NBK Children’s Hospital is featured in the latest Gulf construction issueNew NBK Children’s Hospital is featured in the latest Gulf construction issue Technical Director and Partner Adriaan Vorster gives an insight into the new NBK Children’s Hospital, in Kuwait, where SSH services included architecture, medical planning and SMEP.

The International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB) World Building Congress has for several decades been the leading world conference with a focus on construction research and innovation. Academics, researchers, students, professionals, government officials, policy makers, practitioners, community groups, and NGOs were invited to report their research, related to multi-disciplinary perspectives on how the built environment can be made more sustainable, smart, safe and resilient. Topics included examples of design, planning, construction or process adaptations that have been undertaken to address the theme ‘intelligent built environment’ and smart cities. Simon’s research examines how some of the industry’s leading project management (PM) practitioners manage their creative teams. The research uncovers complex factors which guide a creative project managers actions. In his paper he presents a simple framework for how PMs can support the conditions required to cultivate creativity and enable design teams to thrive. This framework is presented as a practical and intuitive tool to supplement Construction-Industry Design and Project Manager’s toolkits.

Want to know what it’s like to intern at one of the MENA regions’ leading architecture and engineering consultancies? Meet 22 year old Tamara Karim, a student at the University of Salford, UK, currently studying Architecture Design and Technology. Having previously worked as a junior architect for Architect CT, focusing on interior design and architectural work, Tamara applied for the summer internship after seeing an advert calling for ambitious architecture students keen to relocate to the Middle East for an intense summer programme. After fierce competition and two rigorous interviews, her passion and dedication stood out and an offer was made. During her time at SSH, where she was Kuwait-based, Tamara experienced working for a company that has been adding to GCC cityscapes for decades, working side-by-side with our architectural studio team, learning more about the architectural business. Tamara’s duties included architectural sketching, research to create mood boards, turning them into conceptual ideas and drafting clients’ presentations for proposals and competitions. She also attended team meetings, discussing how to take the clients’ requirements and put them into concept. Working on a diverse range of projects that included two mixed-use towers in Downtown Dubai and Ras Al Bar Resort in addition to a master planning project in Bahrain, and the Kuwait Oil Company Housing project, she was able to improve her craft. She learned and practised her work using IT packages such as In-Design, Photoshop, AutoCAD and Rhino. With these skills, international experience, and a range of large-scale projects in her portfolio, Tamara has made a positive impact on her future, she feels ‘more independent and with a clearer view of her career path’. Particularly inspired by two strong female leaders at SSH, Business Development Director Karen Mort and Head of Interior Design Sebaa Orabi. ‘The office has an amazing atmosphere, with great experts that were there to help and teach throughout my whole journey. I’ve learnt a lot and made a lot of new friends’, highlights Tamara, who has also learnt a very important skill: networking. Whilst in Kuwait, Tamara had the opportunity to attend an Alumni Network event hosted by the University of Salford, where she connected with experts in diversified fields, received expert advice and was able to get some impressive contacts which she plans to put to good use once she graduates. Karen Mort, SSH’s Business Development Director stated that ‘SSH is pleased to have provided the opportunity for a talented young professional. We are always pleased to hear from ambitious students from our strategic partners, the University of Salford, either undergraduates looking to boost their skills and experience in a summer internship, or graduates who are looking for a career opportunity in the Middle East’.SSH presents case for cloud-based sharing platforms SSH presents case for cloud-based sharing platforms Eoin Nield, SSH’s BIM Manager, presented a case study to delegates at the Autodesk Futures’ Forum, an event that explores future technologies and their application by design professionals working across the architecture, consulting and contracting sectors. The forum was held at IMG Worlds of Adventure, in Dubai. Entitled ‘From Paper to Vapour – Demystifying Design in the Cloud’, Eoin’s presentation outlined SSH’s shift to cloud-based sharing platforms and the subsequent benefits this has for multi-regional design teams. “By adopting cloud-based sharing methodologies, SSH has optimised data-transfer processes between regional teams to increase collaboration and develop streamlined design review and document control processes,” Eoin said. Since utilising cloud-oriented processes, SSH has increased its efficiencies as an architecture and engineering consultancy and improved inter-departmental communications across its design teams stationed around the Middle East region and beyond.SSH presents JACC as leading edge of cultural building innovation at KISR ConcourseSSH presents JACC as leading edge of cultural building innovation at KISR Concourse Delegates at the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research’s (KISR’s) Innovation Concourse received a special presentation explaining the creative and practical considerations underpinning the design of the country’s latest cultural complex, the Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Centre (JACC), by architecture and engineering consultancy SSH. The event was held on Wednesday 22 February 2017, at the KISR Shuwaikh Campus in the capital city. The KISR Innovation Concourse aims to highlight various aspects of innovative approaches to design, from the initial inspiration, through practical invention and application, to the commercialisation of such projects. The event culminated in a spotlight presentation that showcased an accomplishment made in one of these areas. The SSH developed JACC is Kuwait’s latest contribution to the country’s cultural landscape. Cultural buildings are some of the most important focal points of a city. They act as a nexus for creativity, encouraging cultural interaction, celebrating international and local talent, being a primer for education and helping to inspire new, fresh perspectives within the artistic community. To mirror this artistic ethos, cultural centres must be architecturally dynamic, awe-inspiring structures. Contemporary and aesthetically pleasing design must blend seamlessly with practical and flexible functionality, utilising cutting-edge building techniques, materials, technologies and practices. This is of increased importance in the harsher climates of the Middle East, where such institutions must be capable of withstanding environmental extremes without compromising their primary function. This need to adapt to the region’s climate often leads to new public buildings becoming a showcase for structural and environmental innovation. The JACC development, which opened to the public late last year, epitomises these ideals and is the centrepiece of a wider national cultural district, also master planned by SSH. Ray Phillips, Design Director, CSO and Senior Partner at SSH, and Lead Designer of the JACC, described to delegates how, by working closely with the client, an initial design brief had been developed outlining the scope and ultimate vision for the scheme. The guidelines, for four core structures encompassing the different practical aspects and site considerations for the development, led to the ‘four jewels’ concept for the centre. The main buildings are encased in an Islamic-inspired geometric titanium envelope, which are designed to interact with light and shadow and are set like jewels within extensive landscaped grounds. The highly textured outer skin has resulted in a dramatic external aesthetic against the surrounding public spaces that sees the JACC stand out as a major focal point of the Kuwait City skyline. This outer casing also acts as temperature regulation and a protective watertight weather shield for the core structures beneath, with their creative functions – a Theatre Centre, Music Centre, Conference Centre and National Library for Historical Documents – becoming the creative “jewels within jewels” of the development. Inside, the core structures highly flexible spaces have been designed, with aspects, including the Conference Centre, able to physically transform to accommodate the practical public needs of the complex. The interior public areas are beautifully designed, but also practical, carrying the external canopies’ Islamic-inspired design language into the interior spaces via further geometric forms and Islamic calligraphy. “Working together with the client, SSH embarked on a design journey to realise a series of dramatic yet flexible buildings. Careful planning enabled us to fulfil the client’s ultimate vision for a cultural space that will be a new centrepiece for creativity, not only for Kuwait, but also the wider Middle East,” said SSH’s Ray Phillips at the concourse event.SSH presents outline of BIM compliance at ‘BIM: A Roadmap for Kuwait’ ConferenceSSH presents outline of BIM compliance at ‘BIM: A Roadmap for Kuwait’ Conference Kuwait University’s College of Architecture hosted a conference to discuss the development of a roadmap for BIM adoption in Kuwait. The conference, entitled ‘BIM: A Roadmap for Kuwait’, took place on Monday 27th March 2017 in Kuwait and was attended by several key building industry professionals from Kuwait Municipality, the Ministry of Public Works (MPW), Amiri Diwan and many others. As an example of BIM compliance, Eoin Nield, BIM Manager at SSH, presented an outline of the recent BIM mandates introduced by the Dubai Municipality (DM) and the subsequent challenges facing consultants, authorities, contractors and supply chains. Drawing on this experience, Eoin recommended that the MPW should consider establishing a steering committee for BIM in Kuwait to “…draw together government legislators, building industry professionals and end users to develop a robust BIM protocol for government projects”. Eoin was particularly supportive of the MPW’s intention to introduce a BIM mandate. “In considering BIM mandates, the MPW is embracing the value-added proposition of BIM methodologies and how they can aid in increased inter-disciplinary communication and collaboration to minimise construction risks and costs,” he said.

Using the ‘PechaKucha' format of presentation, where speakers present 20 slides for 20 seconds each, David outlined that hotel brands must adapt to current consumer trends and move towards a more immersive and authentically local experience for their visitors that competitive models, such as home-sharing portals, provide. By recreating the home-sharing accommodation trend, but with the perks of hotel living and set within an architecturally stunning concept, such as the building designs SSH is known for, the hotel industry can keep pace with consumer desires for new lifestyle experiences. David stressed the importance of building brand recognition and the key role tools such as social media and an online presence have in promoting that message to consumers and, ultimately, that iconic architectural hotels help to drive the recognition hospitality brands seek. “People want to buy into a culture … they want to take that shot and put it on Instagram to be recognised as part of that luxurious lifestyle. That social presence [for hotel brands] is invaluable,” David said. “And what the hospitality industry can do going forward is to hire really good architects to design buildings for them that creates that really good brand image.”SSH’s Design Director Ray Phillips spoke at the IBBC conferenceSSH’s Design Director Ray Phillips spoke at the IBBC conference Ray Phillips, Design Director, made a presentation to the Iraq British Business Council (IBBC) 8th London Conference (5th November, 2014).
