In 2021, Bej Mimarlik teamed with Schimberg Group to form Schimberg Bej, creating an internationally focused architectural relationship.
HOW WE COLLABORATE
Our approach has led us to Schimberg Bej, a creative, collaborative relationship between Schimberg Group in Sarasota, Florida, and Bej Mimarlik in Izmir, Turkey. Our combined team of talented architects and interior designers are focused on the delivery of architectural projects in the United States, Turkey, and throughout the world. Our team is guided by the belief that culturally diverse design approaches and ideas lead to better solutions and results for our clients.
SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE
Our approach to architecture and interiors is about responsibility. We take ownership of decisions made for our environment, our lifestyles and our structures throughout every architectural project, big or small. By reducing energy usage and using sustainable materials and methods in our designs, we can together save thousands in the long run and future-proof your investment. Software like Cove Tool allows us to understand how our design decisions impact the environment and our clients' budgets.

“Architecture, for me, is a different perspective on life. A new eye, a new awareness, and a different dimension. The art of creating by bringing together many different details, information, and even people. An endless rush and excitement …”
“Everything is a puzzle and the trick is how to solve it. Architecture, on all levels, is one big puzzle and I get a thrill when figuring out how to fit those pieces together.”
