Hospitality Design - November 2020 - 109

The growing popularity of these sectors spurred Thompson's exit
from Six Senses Hotels Resorts & Spas, where he previously worked
as a project manager and director of green building and sustainable
landscaping. Nomadic, which comprises a team spread across the globe,
was first conceived when Thompson met Nomadic creative director Olav
Bruin during the development of a Six Senses property in Thailand.
While collaborating on a treetop dining pod composed of bamboo, the
pair bonded over biophilia. " We started to have a conversation like, 'If you
were to do a big organic hospitality project in a similar environment, how
would you do it?' " Thompson recalls.
As the seed germinated, the pair also tapped consultants from their
Six Senses days to contribute to Nomadic projects and ensure the highest
standards of sustainability and comfort. " We basically brought these
people in as a design collective because we knew they all had a similar
environmental ethos and probably a similar aesthetic, " adds Thompson.
Nomadic Resorts now boasts a robust pipeline that ranges from tented

China, inspired by a woven bamboo hat

lodges in Sri Lanka to an onsen wellness retreat in Taiwan. Each project
is also designed with a naturalistic landscaping style complementary to
the surrounding nature. In addition to biophilia, Nomadic projects are
defined by a vernacular posited as " socially inclusive building concepts, "
says Thompson. " What we're really interested in is creating buildings
that integrate into the environment and also that serve as a bridge
between people and nature. It's really about trying to cure some of our
social or environmental ills. "
The company continues to work remotely on a handful of projects,
also fielding inquiries in parts of Africa and the Middle East. Nomadic's
inaugural U.S. concept, in Utah, is also moving forward as the brand
neatly stakes its claim in a hospitality landscape temporarily defined by
social distancing. " People want space, air, having been locked up so long, "
Thompson says. " That's where biophilic design comes into play and the
effect of biophilic design on human health, which is significant. People
are happier. " hd
