Symbiotic Architects and Associates (SAA) is a renown architectural firm specializing in
the innovative and progressive design of residential ,commercial and industrial projects in
Bangladesh. The firm is setup around an architectural & engineering design studio
philosophy dedicated to producing the highest quality product possible. An experienced
staff with a complete understanding of current methodology, technology and materials
allows for an unparalleled level of creativity, affordability and sustainability.
Founded in 1998 Symbiotic Architect and Associates (ANZ Int’l) has participated
numerous design Competitions from the Institute of Architects Bangladesh (IAB).Firm
Principal Architect ABMS Zaman brings 14 years of experience to the firm with design
responsibility on a multitude of project types in a local and national setting.
SAA believes that innovation and creativity area derivative of balancing the systems of
program, economy, site, and the human sense of well-being. Although our approach can
be pragmatic and meet the practical programmatic requirements, our projects transcend
the ordinary by making every design decision meaningful in terms of craft and economy,
and most importantly keeping the conditions for the occupants comfortable and conducive
to mental and physical well-being. SAA’s environmental view toward design starts with
considering the placement of the building on the site. By taking into consideration the
environmental impacts of heat gain, heat loss and day lighting, the building’s life-cycle
costs can be minimized. In addition, life-cycle cost analyses that consider daily operation
and maintenance is also of prime concern. SAA's cost-effective designs are achieved
through balanced compositions of basic geometries. Standardized readily-available
building components are utilized as another method to keep costs down. The design
strategies described are employed without compromising visually compelling interior
spaces and work in tandem with the primary focus of the building program.
