locations globally since 1996, with our talents infi ltrating international locations such as South

America, North America, the Middle East, Asia and Europe.

Because of our distinctive and committed delivery focus , GRC Group regard ourselves more as

the creators of experiences rather than as conventional designers. Our creed is to create “Living

Places” or built environments that enrich life. This is a holistic and sensitive approach to space,

both indoors and outdoors, requiring strong place making skills and adaptability, represented by

our extensive portofi lio of works.

Our vision also requires a respect for culture, people and the environment involving exceptional

listening skills and fl exibility. More than a design approach, our creations respond to the functional

and aesthetic requirements of eachlocations by offering respect for the land and people that will

visit and occupy our spaces.

Our design approach parlays well beyond luxury hotel, resort and golf design to mixed-use,

retail, residential, timeshare and master planning verticals. The resulting design is hospitable and

harmonious, and allows GRC to create something unique for every project. It is also refl ected in

the more eclectic portfolio, defying style categorization that is best described as contemporary

regionalism.

commitment to ensuring quality-driven processes will assure your upcoming requirements are not

only met, but EXCEEDED at every opportunity.

DESIGN - Masterplanning / Urban Design

The GRC Group objective is to utilize our collective expertise to create unique places of lasting

value for the communities we serve.

We blend our expertise in planning, architecture, landscape architecture, engineering and

economics to create sustainable environments that connect people and places, movement

and the built environment, and nature and architecture. For projects of all scales, including

regional and community master plans, commercial corridors, neighborhood plans, parks and

recreation areas, and successful infi ll and redevelopment, we work with clients to establish a

collaborative vision and then draw on our skills and resources to bring that vision to life in the built

environment.

We believe that to create lasting value, each project and community must draw from its unique

context of environment, culture, and history to create a sense of place that will endure. By

meticulously understanding these aspects and incorporating our knowledge of planning, design,

development, and infrastructure, we create environments that enhance a community’s regional

traditions yet remain sustainable and fl exible for many different market segments and uses.

The GRC Group have successfully utilized our collaborative approach to improve the quality of life

and environment in a wide array of contexts – from large urban areas to small rural communities.

We strive to incorporate sustainable development patterns, compact and walkable mixed-use

environments, and the successful integration of streets, public space and architecture to create

sustainable, desirable, and livable places and communities.
