Designing Unique & Special Mountain Resorts That Work
The creation of our plans is more than a mechanical exercise. It is a planning process where we take into account the reasons why people are attracted to mountain resort areas. We work closely with our clients to help clarify their vision of their resort development projects. We carefully consider the physical and environmental capabilities of the land to support the proposed resort development. Throughout the process we proactively address issues that will impact on the sustainability of the project, environmentally, socially and economically.

Master PlanningThe creation of a well balanced BHA Master Plan is driven by our goal to assist our clients to crystallize their vision of their mountain resort developments. We marry the physical realities of the study area with the development goals and objectives constantly testing the potential against environmental, economic, social, cultural and approvals realities. Our Master Plans can be all encompassing or focused on such individual mountain resort elements as the primary attractions (skiing, mountain biking, golf, water sports and backcountry); the base area and village developments; and/or the integrated resort residential areas.> featured projects > full project list |
