04 INSIGHTS
IDEAS BEHIND THE PLACES WE DESIGN.
Thoughts, observations and practical insights on hospitality, destination development and the future of travel.
Hotel corridors don’t generate revenue. So should we treat them like they don’t matter?
In most hotels, the corridor is an afterthought, a filler space.

ARCHITECTURE
Hotel facades come with a built-in advantage: repetition.
Handled well, it becomes rhythm, pattern, and brand identity.

HOTEL STRATEGY
Hotel suites aren’t just bigger, fancier rooms.
During uncertain times they are the smartest way to enter the luxury market without overexposing your project.

RESORT DESIGN
The pool is the social and commercial engine of a hotel property.
Done well, it becomes a tool for choreographing the entire experience and guest behavior.

MOUNTAIN HOSPITALITY

DETAILS & CRAFT
We once told entire stories through railings.
Today we hide them in glass.

DESIGN STRATEGY
Some of the strongest hotels are built around one clear idea.

The more interesting concepts are no longer selling nights. They are selling access.

05 THE FOUNDERS
TWO PERSPECTIVES. ONE OFFSHOOR.
From England's relationship with water to Austria's alpine landscape. Two backgrounds shaped by different environments, united by a shared belief in more resilient and inspiring destinations.
Richard Coutts FRIBA is an architect, engineer and urban designer, named UK Urban Designer of the Year 2019/20. With Swiss and English heritage and a childhood spent on England’s coastline, he developed an early appreciation of the relationship between people, water and landscape.
He began his career in Asia working with environmental pioneer Ken Yeang, helping deliver some of the region’s earliest DEEP GREEN bioclimatic and regenerative buildings. His work today focuses on DEEP BLUE resilient waterfronts, sustainable placemaking and destination masterplanning, bringing together technical rigour with commercial and environmental value.
Together, Nicola and Richard combine global experience in iconic architecture with deep expertise in regenerative design and destination strategy, creating distinctive places where landscape, culture and architecture come together to inspire people and deliver lasting value.
Nicola Beck

Her portfolio ranges from luxury resorts and hospitality destinations to civic landmarks and some of China’s tallest skyscrapers, with one joining the only a few globally to make 200 metres club.
Working across architecture, interiors, landscape and masterplanning, she is passionate about creating places that tell a story, strengthen a destination’s identity and leave lasting memories. As Creative Director of BACA she leads an international team delivering complex projects throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Together, Nicola and Richard combine global experience in iconic architecture with deep expertise in regenerative design and destination strategy, creating distinctive places where landscape, culture and architecture come together to inspire people and deliver lasting value.
