Valley of Gabala Masterplan

Qebele, Azerbaijan

The Gabala Mountain Resort was the culmination of an extensive tourism study of the Northern Caucasian Region of Azerbaijan and ultimately transitioned into the initial phase of development for this landmark destination.

Building on the client’s hotel and ski brand, the Town Centre is a mixed-use resort core planned to serve as the heart and soul of the entire development. At the confluence of multiple mountain ski runs and lifts, the Gabala Mountain Resort offers the perfect blend of entertainment, retail and leisure venues literally at the door step of a wide variety of hotel and vacation rental accommodations. Inspired by Alpine village urban form, narrow winding streets are lined with shops and cafes framed by G+5 architecture which opens on to intimate courtyards for social gatherings and spacious piazzas for large events. The contemporary influences seamlessly fit within the traditional vernacular of the surrounding villages.

The program includes 1500 Hotel Keys, 150,000 GFA of Vacation Residential and 1.2 million SF of For-Sale Chalet Plots

Almaty Hills Almaty, Kazakhstan

The project is located on the hills South of Almaty in Kazakhstan. The project is a residential development master plan on a 300 hectare plot of land that rests on top of the city, nestled in the foothills of the majestic mountain range, making this development especially unique. Almaty hills will offer a range of lifestyle choices, housing up to 1200 residential units on sloped terrain which provides spectacular views of the city and nature.

The development will offer properties ranging from two bedroom townhouses to luxury signature villas. Each area within Almaty hills will have access to a green system where residents can walk, run, and cycle. Green open spaces surround the development, while ski slopes and valleys pass through it creating a continuous network of ecological corridors. The inclined terrain benefits most properties on the development with spectacular vistas. An equestrian center and a town center will be included in the development, as well as each neighborhood having its own convenience amenity. Incorporating local traditions as well Mediterranean and contemporary elements, Almaty hills will provide its residents with a unique, secure, and pleasant residential environment.
