RATIO | smdp is an innovative global design studio comprised of dedicated design professionals providing solutions to contemporary architectural and urban issues.

Our methods are based on a process of discovery that is informed by the distinctive social, cultural, economic and physical opportunities inherent to each design problem. Through this process, we generate unique and original solutions that enrich our communities and bring value to our clients.

Our unique approach to design is evident in a diverse body of work which includes projects of various scale, typology, geography and appearance.

Placemaking, innovation and craft are the foundations of our work, whether in Cairo or Chicago. We achieve this by reflecting the unique cultural and historical context of each place we have the opportunity to influence.
