Construction Services / Design-Build


New Construction

Our design and our concept of designs are based not only in the minimal condition of an idea on its own, but also in its identity, development, and modulation. In other words, we approach the concept holistically.

Identifying: the idea and/or visualizing it into a diagram or plan Developing: the plan into a design concept or a theme which is required or of relevance Modulating: the design concept into a structure that is feasible; financially, environmentally, and practically attainable. Buildings, we believe, need to create a sense of comfort for its occupants as well as its environment, hence SDC mediates in designing structures that bring in the facts and philosophies of sustainable green buildings as a resourceful perspective into design/build.


Historic Preservation/Renovation & Adaptive Reuse

We believe in the preservation of historic buildings as a form of respect, understanding and also remembrance that architecture has come a long way through the efforts of art, science and design, put together. Historic buildings are a continuation of their designers’ essences, therefore, its renovation, rehabilitation and preservation should constitute for the balance that is evoked from their classic original designs to interpretations.

Adaptive reuse in architecture sheds light on the statement of ‘waste not, want not.’ Replacing the old structures with entirely constructions may cause wastage of energy and resources, thus intelligent renovations on aged buildings although expensive, however usually economical than demolishing and constructing from scratch, preserves the originality and legacy of the building as well as securing the environment around it.

There is a story to be told from the old to the new, historic preservation in architecture does just that.




Interior Planning and Design

We recognize that each project is an expression of a client’s unique personality, thus understanding our clients’ values and artistic preferences are essential to creating custom made interior designs that are comfortable in their home, lifestyle, and/or business environment.
