5+design is a creative international architecture and planning practice
with studios in Hollywood, Shanghai, and Dubai. Led by founding princi-
pals Michael Ellis, Stan Hathaway, and Arthur Benedetti, their work en-
compasses retail, mixed-use, residential, and large-scale urban planning.
We design our projects upon the foundations of three core principles…
Community, Connectivity, and Contextuality. Their architects, planners,
designers, and administrative staff reflect the diversity of its three office
locations, the places where we work, and the world we live in today. The

Operational since 1976, under the direction of Managing Partner
Alistair McMillan, Practice Partners Andrew Bereza, Kevin Harper, Scott
Orwin and Nick Turbott, Group Design Director Michael Lewis and Di-
BSBG
rector of Construction Jamie Armitage. BSBG strives to produce evoca-
tive architectural design with an almost utopian ideal, an aspirational vi-
sion which stems from the freedom to express new ideas, and to design
what comes naturally. Their ethos is founded upon the concept of arti-
sanal, blue sky thinking with a purpose. As designers, they believe we have
a responsibility to connect with and promote the wellbeing of people.

Design International was founded in 1965 in Toronto, Canada and
quickly built a reputation for truly innovative design, particularly in retail
architecture. Indeed, the practice pioneered many design features that
have since become industry benchmarks. These include the use of glazed
roofs to create covered “streets” that are flooded with daylight (Bugis
Junction, Singapore) and creating mall that integrated retail and enter-
tainment under one roof. Driven by a philosophy that seeks to shape
local stories to provide unique experiences for every visitor, the practice
continues to push the boundaries of retail architecture.
