Featured Project
Kigali Masterplan
Led by SJ Group & SMEC, the The Kigali City Masterplan repositions Kigali as a future-ready financial and civic hub for East-Central Africa.
Urban land development is essential to building resilient, liveable cities. With greater urbanisation, transforming under-utilised land into vibrant residential, commercial, and public precincts is critical. Our integrated teams – spanning civil engineering, architecture, town planning, and MEP – deliver masterplans that balance infrastructure, sustainability, and community needs.
We work across greenfield and urban renewal projects, aligning transport, energy, and utilities with nature-inspired, context-sensitive design. Our holistic approach fuses planning, landscape, and architecture to create connected, walkable places that support thriving communities and long-term growth.
Our integrated approach embodies knowledge and experience from various related professional disciplines where all aspects are conceived integrally and thoughtfully, right from the start.
Liveable communities are the result of careful planning and integrated design principles that create dynamic, inviting, and interconnected experiences and resilient solutions.
Placemaking and urban design translate the complexities of linking people, places, and services into simple connections that encourage mobility and accessibility. To create compelling spaces, these experiences require flexible frameworks that inspire movement through strategic human-scale public realm design.
Through careful listening and insight, we target key performance factors and what communities need to thrive to customise liveable design solutions that promote well-being and embody principles of sustainability.
We believe that cohesive planning, urban design, architecture, and landscape design can create healthy ecosystems and communities through inspiring spaces, connectivity, and adaptability.
As a leading urban development consultancy we have designed and delivered several high profile and award-winning urban developments, and built a strong reputation of technical excellence and design innovation.
