We’re in Barbados, Too
We are happy to announce that we've recently opened a branch office in Barbados.
When considering a Caribbean expansion it seemed natural that acla:works would start in Barbados. Brian Lewis – one of four directors of our firm – is a Barbados citizen and son of the late Anthony C Lewis – our firm’s founding father who set up practice in Barbados in the 1940s where he designed notable works such as the Harrison Public Library in Bridgetown.
When asked about surviving the recent economic downturn and the firm’s expansion, first to Barbados and then to St Lucia, Lewis said: “ . . . We focused on acla:works’ unique selling point – our development and implementation of building information modeling over the last decade. We soon realised that it was time to go regional introducing BIM to the Caribbean. We made the decision to work with local architects in targeted islands, thus developing a formidable regional network that would offer cutting edge design tools where, at present, none exist. We also refined our mission: To be the prominent architectural firm in the Caribbean by 2020 in terms of image, perception, service level and delivery.”
In 2009, acla:works formed a strategic alliance with six other firms in order to extend to clients integrated project delivery service. Two of these firms – idesign Limited [interior design] and Talma Mill Studios [landscape architecture] are based in Barbados. We're also pleased to announce that we've partnered with the award-winning amonle studio workshop – a Barbados- and UK-based firm run by architect John Allsopp.
