ECO-TOURISM PROJECTS

“…the buildings have a scale, dignity and materiality appropriate to their setting. If only everything built ... could be so physically and culturally tactful.”

"Simple beauty: the eco-bandas at Guludo have everything you need and nothing you don’t."

With extensive international experience we are able to identify strategies that maximise potential for income generation. We can develop design solutions that are specifically tailored to suit high value international tourists while taking advantage of low construction and running costs.

Our approach can be briefly summarised as minimizing the negative impact on the environment, whilst maximizing the long-term benefit to the locality, the community and the economy in general.

Tourists are increasingly discerning and concerned about possible detrimental effects of tourist activities and there is a rapidly burgeoning market for properly set up ecotourist facilities. We are well-placed to advise on facilities to attract the higher value end of the national and international tourist market.

We offer the following services:

Strategic advice on location, siting and sizing of eco-resorts;
Advice on principles to be adopted to minimise negative environmental impact and maximize benefit;
Setting up appropriate design and construction teams;
Design of layout and buildings, fittings and furniture;
Advice on construction procurement, programme, etc. and supervision of work.
