Architects Scoop Design Contract In India
Award winning Belfast-based architects Hall Black Douglas (HBD) has won a significant design contract in India for a 180 bed Community Healthcare Complex with assistance from Invest Northern Ireland.
The architectural practice has been helped by Invest Northern Ireland to develop a presence in the huge Indian marketplace, and through a joint venture with locally-based architects Studio 55, bid successfully for the business.
HBD and Studio 55 have secured the tender from Paranjape Schemes (Construction), a leading property developer in India, to design state-of-the-art assisted living accommodation for elderly people with early stage dementia, at Pune, near Mumbai.
HBD has been assisted by Invest NI's trade development team in Mumbai and has taken part in several trade missions to India over the past two years. In 2011, HBD gained its first contract in India for the design of a food court in one of Mumbai’s most prestigious shopping malls.
The new business in India was announced by HBD Director Alistair Beckett and welcomed by Dr Vicky Kell, Invest NI Trade Director.
Dr Kell said: "This is a tremendous result for a company which has committed significant resources over the past two years to gain a foothold in one of the world’s most dynamic and competitive markets.
"Developing a presence and raising awareness in India and other global markets requires patience, perseverance and professionalism. Hall Black Douglas has demonstrated the success that can be achieved by developing a strategy based on identifying a business partner and making regular visits to the target market."
