Water designs our life. Who designs for water? Canada’s #1 Faucet Brand moen.ca relationships,” Darius explains. “You can’t do it well without building trust first.” Looking forward, SAI’s growth strategy focuses on refinement rather than expansion for expansion’s sake. The team is content with their current size and structure, prioritizing quality over quantity. Growth is guided by opportunities that align with the company’s core strengths, including expanding into interior design and soft goods procurement. Darius sees these areas as natural extensions of the company’s services, allowing SAI’s group of companies to offer an even more complete package to clients. “We’re happy with the team we have today,” he says. “Growth is important, but it must be growth with purpose. We don’t just want to get bigger – we want to get better.” “We pride ourselves on our ability to go beyond what most architects bring to a project. Having designed, constructed and operated our own hotel, clients engage us specifically because of our ability to provide a 360-degree mindset of financial viability, building aesthetics, construction methodology, operations, brand interaction, interior design, and supply of FF&E – always with the client’s best interest at the forefront” says Picicci. From their beginnings in Ontario to their expanding North American footprint, SAI has built a reputation based on expertise, adaptability, and collaboration. With a team committed to problem solving, strong partnerships with suppliers and subcontractors, and leadership that understands both the operational and design sides of the hotel business, the companies continue to set themselves apart in a competitive and everevolving industry.
