Scott Brownrigg and Pascall+Watson join forces in Abu Dhabi

International architectural practices Pascall+Watson and Scott Brownrigg have announced a new collaboration that will see them working together in Abu Dhabi.

Pascall+Watson has a well-established office in Abu Dhabi working on the delivery of projects such as the Sheik Zayed University and the Sorbonne University and Scott Brownrigg not only designed Lulu Island off the coast of Abu Dhabi, but is currently developing designs for a number of projects through existing client relationships. The aim of the collaboration is to combine the sector expertise and market position of both practices and work together to secure quality new commissions throughout Abu Dhabi, as part of the envisioned 2030 masterplan.

Bruce Calton the director leading the initiative on behalf of Scott Brownrigg said, “Our combined strength in design and delivery will give us a competitive edge in the local market that will be of benefit to both practices, combining Scott Brownrigg's broad sector expertise with Pascall + Watson's extensive local knowledge.” Alan Lamond, principal of Pascall + Watson, said, “We are already working on a number of high profile and prestigious projects in the region.

This collaboration will enable us to jointly bid for a wide range of interesting projects in a number of sectors.” The collaboration relates only to potential work in Abu Dhabi where projects will benefit from a combined international strength of over 400 people who are passionate about high quality design, client service and meticulous delivery.
