Our Purpose is to deliver climate-positive, award-winning architecture through digital construction and MMC
ABOUT ARGO
ARGO Development Studio is an international, award-winning architectural practice specialising in digital construction and climate intelligence. We utilise a design and construction process called Building Information Modelling (BIM). This process allows ARGO to design, cost and construct more intelligent, resilient and climate-positive buildings in a 3D virtual environment achieving savings of up to 20% over conventional 2D delivery.
ARGO offers a sixteen (16) hour workday as standard by availing of a six (6) hour time zone overlap by splitting its teams between offices in the Caribbean, Europe and the US. This strategic distribution ensures that ARGO functions seamlessly across different time zones, enabling effective and continuous international operations.
ARGO’s staff, which comprises 16 different nationalities, has a diverse background and experience, creating a melting pot of talent that allows ARGO to respond to a client brief in a very unique manner.

ARGO’s Specialist Units
ARGO’s Centre of Technical Expertise (CTE)
ARGO’s CTE team specialises in the design development stage and offers technical input across all of ARGO’s projects. Its service extends to design practices, contractors or developers.
Our experienced team members will work seamlessly alongside an existing team or provide a complete, managed solution on behalf of the client. They will provide expert, detailed solutions using construction technologies to form the link between design and delivery.

ARGO’s Climate Intelligence Unit (CIU)
The AEC industry makes up 39% of global carbon emissions, but at ARGO we partner with our clients to protect our planet by accelerating the transition to a net-zero world. ARGO’s Climate Intelligence Unit (CIU) is a dedicated team within ARGO, leading the drive to climate-positive construction by 2030. ARGO’s digital design and construction process allows us to analyse a building’s performance in a virtual environment to produce more sustainable, resilient, cost-effective and net-zero energy buildings.
Our team also works with LEED, WELL and BREEAM certification requirements to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

ARGO’s Apollo Unit
Apollo is focused on system build and MMC (Modern Methods of Construction) using the latest Digital Twin technology to construct a building from a 3D virtual environment to deliver more intelligent, resilient and cost-effective buildings. Apollo employs an offsite construction approach and collaborates with a number of international manufacturers.
This strategic approach ensures the efficient production and delivery of high-quality components, systems and modules for ARGO’s projects, contributing to the company’s commitment to excellence in construction and development.

ARGO’S AI Integration
ARGO’s AI integration leverages a sophisticated and highly customizable open-source model that empowers our team to conduct in-depth design iterations with enhanced precision. By incorporating specific inputs such as massing geometry, climate intelligence data, and code compliance information, we can tailor our design processes to meet diverse project requirements effectively.
This advanced integration significantly enhances ARGO’s concept design workflow, allowing for comprehensive analysis and simulation capabilities. By utilising these tools, we can swiftly explore an extensive array of design alternatives, facilitating informed decision-making at every stage of the project.
Consequently, ARGO is able to optimise the design of each project, ensuring that it aligns closely with our clients’ unique needs and expectations while adhering to regulatory requirements and sustainability goals.
