BIOMIMICRY: OUR DESIGN LENS Biomimicry is the lens B+H uses to engage regenerative design. Rather than copying how nature looks, biomimicry learns from how living systems function, adapt, and thrive. It helps us understand what nature is already doing in a place and how design can work with those systems. This way of thinking is not new. Indigenous Peoples around the world have long understood humans as part of nature and have developed distinct, place-based knowledge grounded in relationship, reciprocity, and responsibility to the land. We recognize these longstanding ways of knowing and seek to work with Indigenous communities where appropriate, respecting that knowledge is specific to each Nation, community, and place. Nature becomes a model, mentor, and measure for creating projects that are more resilient and better connected to their environment.

What does this place want to do?

What will it support?

What will it permit?

What might it inspire?

+ What ecological processes and relationships are already at work?

+ We look at existing ecological services the free engineering that nature provides to see how it can support our resilience.

+ Nature has a trajectory, and with climate change that trajectory is becoming much more difficult to predict

+ Through biomimicry, we learn from the timetested genius of the site how to solve our design problems

+ Pre-design risk assessments allow us to understand the trajectory of a place and how we will best fit in

+ Learn from local organisms how to self-cool, create circular economies, leverage solar energy, dissipate storms, or build with benign materials

+ Understand existing ecological assets, services, and opportunities to integrate as Naturebased Solutions

By building this understanding early, the Living Story helps teams:

+ Helps reduce risk and costs associated with climate change

+ It is expensive fighting nature, which is why the pre-design Living Story helps us avoid unnecessary costs

+ Identify climate risks and resilience opportunities early

+ Inform planning, infrastructure, and site decisions

+ Reduce uncertainty before significant design investment

+ Embed regenerative principles from the outset

+ Expand innovation by exploring the billionyear old ideas in nature

+ Establish measurable regenerative goals

ADVANCED STRATEGY At B+H, Advanced Strategy helps clients connect organizational objectives with future ready spatial and portfolio decisions across sectors, using research, stakeholder engagement, and scenario testing to translate complexity into actionable direction.

HOSPITALITY Hospitality assets must continually recalibrate guest expectations, brand narratives, operational constraints, and environmental responsibilities. Our Advanced Strategy approach engages operators, owners, staff, and guests to surface what truly differentiates an experience and how it should evolve under changing tourism, wellness, and ESG trends. Through research, systems mapping, and scenario analysis, we explore alternative service models, amenity mixes, and operating models, linking them to spatial and portfolio decisions.

SHARJAH JEWEL

WHERE ANCIENT WATERS MEET MODERN LUXURY Located on the edge of the Al Mamzar Lagoon, which separates the Sharjah and Dubai emirates, this complex is comprised of office, residential and hotel components interlocked into a dynamic massing. The 60-storey form took its cues from a hinge whereby the hotel component appears to open out and swing away from the main body of the office and residential tower and is cantilevered over the lagoon and beach. The interstitial space between the primary components provides an aperture with views of the lagoon extending to the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai skyline. Amenities include retail, restaurants, beach club, marina, banqueting facilities, and medical spa.

These buildings collide with a soaring shared public lobby that gives a new front door to the resort. The articulation of the facade and material selections echo the landscape and its vernacular in shape, texture, and colour.

SHANGRI-LA BLUE MOON VALLEY CULTURE INTEGRATED TOURISM DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

WHERE CULTURE MEETS DISCOVERY Blue Moon Valley will become an attractive resort destination, offering a unique blend of modern infrastructure, breathtaking views and a plethora of activities and events that will keep visitors entertained and returning. The resort is designed to appeal to a broad base of tourists and visitors by providing a variety of activities, retail facilities, restaurants, cafes and arts and crafts venues. In addition to the traditional tourist activities typically accompanying a resort destination, Blue Moon valley will also cater to the development of the mind and the spirit by providing a venue for the research, teaching and practice of Tibetan medicine, meditation and self-awareness. The Blue Moon Valley Resort will also play a supporting role to promoting Tibetan culture, by fostering the creation of a critical mass of cultural activities that showcase the heritage and traditions of the region. These will range from exhibition venues concentrated in the Palace of Tibetan Culture to research, teaching and the promotion of the different cultural manifestations of the local culture in the Tibetan Cultural Institute. Furthermore, traditional cultural elements will be complemented by an “artist’s row”, where artists in residence, art studios and galleries will showcase contemporary Tibetan artistic production, helping in its promotion and development.

PROPOSED INTEGRATED RESORT IN SOUTH EAST ASIA

REDEFINING ECO-TOURISM Tourism development in Southeast Asia is setting high international standards for inclusive eco-friendly travel. The detailed master plan of this confidential resort project advances the region’s mixed-use collection of hospitality, commercial and retail programs that feature beachfront hotel resorts and entertainment complexes. Linking the development, waterfront boulevards and boardwalks enhance access and inclusivity between beachfront and inland hotels. They also connect local and tourist communities in off and nearshore amenities as well as parks and beaches dotted with retail, entertainment, and a traditional marketplace featuring the local country’s unique character. The Beach Zone ties the development together and offers extraordinary opportunity for recreation and relaxation. Enhanced and extended with imported sand and protected by a submerged geotube breakwater, the inland side of the sandy beach boasts 15 to 20 m of boardwalk promenade and a variety of active and passive beach-related activities. The boardwalk is the detailed master plan’s continuous path of connection along the waterfront area. It brings people and amenities together on a shoreline development that raises the level of eco-tourism expectation.

MARRIOTT RESORT & SPA HOI AN

A GARDEN BY THE SEA We originally presented the client with three design concepts for Hoi An Marriott in Vietnam - each featuring a distinctive configuration of landscape elements. The preferred option places emphasis on incorporating as much native greenery as possible and creating a garden feel throughout the resort. Views of the water from the rooms are enhanced through a thoughtful plan that avoids placing trees along main view corridors. Hoi An Marriott features a stretch of exclusive beachfront that sits along open ocean area. With the aim of mitigating less than ideal water conditions during inclement weather and maximizing beach time for guests, an elevated sandbank was added to increase the depth of the beach and act as a buffer. Other water activities on the resort include main, family, and quiet pools. A meandering lazy creek runs through the site, connecting spaces and amenities. Further connections are made to surrounding local attractions to engage guests with the local culture. A host of rich amenities cater to the needs of the resort’s range of guests, which include mostly families and couples looking for short and long-term accommodations.
