Architectural design, engineered to perform
Talk to our team about your architectural design requirements
Design that works, because it's engineered from the outset
Architectural design decisions have a direct impact on how a building can be delivered. If engineering requirements are considered too late, conflicts around space, structure and building systems can lead to delays, redesign and additional work.
RED brings architectural and engineering expertise together from the start, helping teams make decisions earlier and create a coordinated design that can be delivered as intended.
What are architectural design services?
Architectural design service covers the design and coordination of a building's form, layout and fabric, developed alongside the structural and MEP systems that determine how it performs in use.
At RED, architectural design isn't delivered as a standalone package. It's coordinated directly with structural and MEP engineering from concept through to construction, so design intent, buildability and compliance are resolved together.
We can act as lead designer across all disciplines, or provide specialist architectural coordination within a wider project team.
How we coordinated architecture and engineering for Project Haryono
RED supported the architecture building design for Project Haryono, a two-phase data centre development in Jakarta, providing architectural design services and coordinating the wider engineering disciplines. Our team worked to align the building layout with the MEP, structural and security requirements across both facilities, ensuring the different elements of the design worked together from the outset.
By bringing architectural and technical considerations together early, RED helped optimise the available site and reduce potential clashes during delivery. The result was a coordinated, buildable scheme aligned with the project’s Tier III resilience requirements.
RED's architectural design services
Good architectural design is about more than how a building looks - it needs to work in practice. RED’s architectural services and design expertise combine with our engineering knowledge to create spaces that meet their technical requirements and support the people using them.
What we offer:
- Architectural design and coordination - Aligning architecture with structural and MEP systems from concept stage.
- Lead designer services - Coordinating civil, structural, architectural, MEP and specialist consultants under one point of responsibility.
- Design assurance and technical reviews - Reviewing designs for interface risk and constructability before issues reach site.
- Planning and compliance support - Developing designs to support planning submissions and regulatory approval.
- Digital design tools - Using BIM and 3D modelling to improve design accuracy and coordination.
- Construction-stage design support - Resolving design queries and risks as they arise on site.
Why work with RED Engineering Design?
With over 20 years of experience across complex, mission-critical buildings, RED understands what it takes to design a building that performs as intended. Our engineers and architectural coordinators work as one team, resolving design risk before it reaches site.
What you can expect from RED:
- Integrated delivery - Architecture, structure and MEP designed as one coordinated system, not separate packages
- Technical depth - A team of 900+ specialists, backed by the wider expertise of Tractebel
- Global reach - 14 international offices and projects delivered across 75+ countries
- Digital capability - In-house BIM coordination and 3D modelling tools
- Proven trust - 84% repeat business rate and long-standing client relationships
Need design and architectural services for your next project?
Poor coordination between architecture and engineering leads to costly rework and delays. RED's integrated approach identifies conflicts early - so your design is ready to build, not reworked on site.
