“BSBG has been operational in the UAE since
1976 and I have personally been in the Middle
East, primarily Dubai, since 1991. Over this
time the Practice has developed successful
long term relationships with many prestigious
Clients. Repeat work from these Clients,
coupled with a strong business model and
balanced management structure, has been
the cornerstone of our development into the

During my time as BSBG Managing Partner I,
and my Senior Management Team of Associates
and Divisional Managers, have worked hard to
develop and maintain close relationships with
new and existing Clients, Sub-consultants
and Staff. These important relationships have
helped us cement our reputation for integrity,
hard work, commitment and ultimately, quality
project delivery.

C55 Tower was a limited competition entry for a signature 55 storey commercial and office tower located
adjacent to the Burj Dubai Development on Sheikh Zayed Road. The design was conceived as a sculptural
element in glass featuring environmental control through a secondary ‘skin’ of semi transparent patterned
glass wrapping the tower in a dynamic prismatic form.

In its aim to meet the Client’s exciting brief BSBG set out to provide a sophisticated building that, while sympathetic
to its surrounds and the imposed guidelines, is recognizable as an outstanding example of modern architecture.
With the use of high quality materials and clean geometric fenestration, the tower is unique, elegant and bold in
appearance. Permeable ground floor retail and lobby zones serve to activate the street frontage while the podium
levels above bring interest in colour and shade to the street. The tower rises elegantly above and a deliberate focus
to the north-east corner of the site has been achieved through the ‘peeling’ back of the façade.

Zero Five Zero embodies the characteristics of clean contemporary tower design by presenting
a restrained and timeless statement. The 17 Storey tower interlaces with a five storey podium to
the main street elevation through careful articulation of high quality floor to ceiling curtain walling,
glazed spandrel sections and vertical smooth white rendered surfaces. Elegant balconies with glazed
balustrades further articulate the facade and ensure a suitable level of shading required in the local
climatic conditions.
To the rear, the podium is defined by a series of cascading private landscaped terraces and gardens,
from where the main tower integrates, rises and is eventually capped by a cantilevering roof and, on the
lower level, a landscaped rooftop with pool.

The design intent of Zero Five Five residential tower was to create a sophisticated building that responds
as much to its surrounding environment as it does to the end user. With loft style apartments and open
flowing spaces the design aims to capture sea views from all levels.
The 17 storey tower comprises 140 apartments ranging from 40m² studios to 450m² high end penthouse
apartments. The ground floor retail zones and large landscaped podiums allow for a flexible living

Located in Madinat Al Arab in Dubai Waterfront, Define Essence is a residential tower rising 42 floors
above ground level. It is one of the first developments in the area, leading the way in planning and
construction at Dubai Waterfront. The tower excels in planning efficiency, usability and visual interest,
catering to the resident’s every need.
BSBG has designed a unique building that, while responsive to the masterplan, is independently
recognisable as an iconic piece of architecture. An environmentally responsive massing solution provides
all apartments with sea or pool deck views, and creates interest in the city skyline by staggering the
height of the two tower elements.

For the design of the clubhouse at the new Tower Links Golf Club in Ras Al Khaimah, the aim of BSBG
was to create a landmark building which, like the clubhouse at Emirates Golf Club, would become
internationally recognized and synonymous with golf in the UAE.
Taking the concept of the traditional watchtower as the identifiable image of the club, BSBG aimed to
produce a design that would not only house the most modern of facilities but would also enhance the
local area while maintaining its indigenous charm. Both the exterior and the interior of the building
showcase modern design merging with traditional Arabic culture.

Over the past few years BSBG has been involved in many projects within the world’s first purpose-built

The stadium’s brief requires complex circulation and stringent viewing requirements. The interrelation
between VVIP, Royal, Corporate and Public seating is paramount to the success of the design. With first
class facilities housed within its iconic structure the venue provides an intimate sporting experience for
spectators. Whilst being careful to maintain a human scale to the large scale arena BSBG aims to create
a harmonious marriage of form and function.

Situated in one of the most established residential communities in Dubai, BSBG has been involved with
development of Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS) since 1988. During this time JESS has become
one of the most reputable schools in the UAE.
The planning arrangement of four definitive size classrooms around a common shared space allows the
classrooms to be closed off as individual units or opened up to allow more integration between groups.
The school’s unusual layout has stood the test of time and has been followed again in the recently

The brief required planning of a mixed use development comprising two commercial and three residential

carefully planned to maximize natural day light to all apartments.
The stepping terraces of the lowest residential building take maximum advantage of canal views and
encourage outdoor living. The curvilinear forms of the commercial towers subtly address the street whilst

BSBG was placed third in an international design competition for the urban planning of two major precincts
on the Palm Jebel Ali, Dubai. The brief focused on the masterplan of the Palm’s spine at a crucial transition
point where the access bridge from the mainland arrives at the base of the Palm. BSBG considered the
major challenge of the project was to provide a pedestrian friendly public realm uncompromised by the
major vehicular artery bisecting the site.
Strategically positioned between two gateway towers, BSBG created a raised landscaped ‘plaza’ bridging
over the main carriageway and providing a safe public environment for residents and visitors to enjoy.
With its two retail streets, outdoor al fresco dining outlets, recreational and landscapes areas and water

Unique reclaimed site on the Baku shoreline
BSBG was invited to participate in a limited entry competition for a Mixed Use Development, located on

a 100 key boutique hotel and retail space. The reclaimed site, protruding out from Baku’s bay shoreline,
provides a unique seaside setting with amazing views back across the water to the city.
Whilst the site is split into phased construction blocks, the concept is tied together by a central, raised
public plaza which connects the scheme into an existing adjacent park. Beneath the plaza all car
parking, service and back of house facilities are hidden, allowing for pedestrian circulation above and
through the site. Modern buildings, hovering above the pedestrian thoroughfares, reach out from the site,
connecting living spaces to the sea and private marina facilities. A perimeter public promenade, lined
with trees, restaurants and cafes, activates the waters edge and provides a destination point for local and
international visitors.
