Values

Organic

Nomadic Resorts derives its inspiration from the natural environment that surrounds us, we strive to create designs that celebrate biodiversity, compliment the natural features of the sites we build on, and respect the natural forms that surround us.

Innovative

We strive to change the way resorts, camps and lodges are designed, built and operated. We research, we experiment and we test new methods, materials and technologies to offer our clients optimized solutions using both state of the art technology and knowledge from local vernacular architecture.

Holistic

We follow a biophilic approach integrating both vernacular and innovative materials and products, resulting in holistic design solutions. Biophilic design seeks to connect our inherent need to affiliate with nature in the modern built environment.

Inclusive

We are thirsty to learn new methods and approaches and are happy to share our skills and knowledge with others. We create positive projects in collaboration with the communities we work in.

Respectful

We respect the input of our clients, their stakeholders and our fellow consultants. We listen to the opinions of all parties involved.
