For Developers and Land Owners

Do you have access to land, for example, as an owner, developer, or municipality, and want to realize an Orchid City? We can help you realize one.

We provide the following services:

  • Location analysis, and feasibility studies
  • Concept design, masterplanning, and architecture
  • Business model and partnership development
  • Development support for successful realization

We offer these services in cooperation with our experienced partners, globally.

Built on a Scalable Dynamic Model

Orchid City's blueprint model adapts to any location. Each masterplan addresses local challenges, culture, climate, and context.

The framework operates across three application types: redevelopment of existing neighborhoods and brownfield remediation, cluster additions to existing cities, and new areas and urban developments.

Symbiosis in Development

We utilize Symbiosis in Development (SiD), an integrated and dynamic systems thinking methodology, to develop holistic and sustainable solutions. This process allows for an objective assessment of each locality, the specific environment, and its unique social, climate, and economic systems. This whole-systems approach to evaluation and design is what makes an Orchid City so practical, adaptive, and sustainable.

Context Sensitive Adaptation

The Orchid City blueprint adapts to local climate, culture, and contexts - each project is tailored to specific local needs and societal challenges.

We utilized three global locations as pilots for Orchid City to help showcase how it can be used to address a vast range of problematic but inherently different environmental and cultural scenarios.
