2018 Interior Design Awards

15 2018 Interior Design Awards Build The Quality System within the firm is structured to meet the requirements of the International Standard ISO 9001: 2015 - Quality Systems - Model for Quality Assurance in Design, Development, Production, Installation and Servicing. This helps to ensure international compliance and means that the firm is able to meet its clients’ needs and exceed their expectations. Mohammed explores how this drive towards quality is ingrained into the firm’s internal culture, so that all staff are always working towards true excellence for their customers. “A continuous effort to improve ourselves and our designs is the main striving point of all our staff. We are constantly aware that we need to be a service company and offer solutions to our clients; our staff are trained to understand the needs of our clients and their markets and ensure that those are catered for during the entire design process. We have a team of Senior and Project Design Architects and designers, BIM and CAD Operators, Technical Staff and specialized sub-consultants who are identified, nominated and earmarked for various stages of any given project to ensure a satisfactory outcome.” Looking ahead, the firm faces many changes in the interior design market, but it is seeking to adapt around these and continue to grow and succeed, as Mohammed proudly concludes. “Currently there is a great demand for large scale interior design work, especially in the Middle East and Asia, with hospitality and mixed-use projects getting bigger and bigger. However, the time available for these projects is getting shorter, and as such we are continuously creating more creative ways to standardise the production of the deliverables so as to keep the time required for the creative part constant even though the total time for the design is shorter. “To ensure Intercon’s ongoing success, we have recently merged with the number one architectural practice in the Middle East (Dewan Architects and Engineers) and now have an even stronger position worldwide to cater for the ever-changing market demands.” Status: Completed Location: Barcelona, Spain Type: Architecture Design Year: 2016 Program: Restaurant Retail Status: Completed Location: Barcelona, Spain Type: Architecture Design Year: 2016 Program: Restaurant Retail
