The company has won a competition to design the countrys first eco villa.

It has been working with UKTI and the British Embassy in Qatar and also completed training in Qatars sustainability assessment system, which is considered to be the most comprehensive in the world.

LSI Architects partner Trevor Price, who is leading the Qatar project, said: We began researching The Gulf as a new market in response to the recession. I went on a UKTI trade mission to Abu Dhabi and Qatar in early 2010 and talked to packed meetings about LSIs expertise in sustainable design. The trade mission was followed by a series of one-to-one meetings in Qatar to establish our credentials and explore partnerships.
