HM Design began on a dining table in a small one-bedroom apartment in Nairobi, Kenya in 1991 as a traditional Architecture and Landscape Architectural practice but is currently based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and has now metamorphosized into a world-renowned, specialty eco-planning and eco-design office. HM Design is considered by its peers, as the world’s leading practitioner and researcher on ecotourism physical planning, landscape architectural and architectural aspects of ecolodges. It is also a multi-international award winner in the fields of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Environmental Planning, Interior Design and Photography.
We honor projects with the use of local labor, plants, materials, and indigenous wisdom for site analysis and planning, and delivery.
We plan and design with the intention of making something as beautiful as it economically, socially, environmentally and spiritually sustainable.
The intention to care for Mother Earth and all her species guides us from day one and continues into construction supervision.
HM Design is a unique one-of-a-kind planning and design firm which practices its very own quadruple bottom line philosophy – one that balances economic, environmental, social and spiritual aspects for every project.
