28 BUILD Q3 2022 May22386 If you were to ask the heads of NMD Nomadas what the company’s personality was, they would respond by saying that it seeks to create a new kind of architecture and strive to be a new kind of company. The international “no walls firm” hasn’t only dedicated itself to developing innovative and beautiful properties but to constructing a better quality of human life. orking in eight cities over five countries, NMD Nomadas has transformed its work by renovating its management organisation, financial planning, and customer service strategies; it has developed a robust global network over the past two decades. Nomadas is dedicated to using cleverly designed urban buildings to improve the overall quality of life, focused not just on its design and facilities but the overall impact it will have on surroundings and individuals. The designers and management team see an industry with great opportunities for improvement in transforming lifestyles. It looks to leverage those opportunities to bolster the quality of life for its users. Nomadas is focused on achieving these goals by raising awareness of architecture’s importance in shaping future cities. Some aspects it is particularly proud of are its unique nature, the management of limitations created by codes required by the city, and the attainment of an architectural language that differentiates itself from its peers that aims to mark a milestone in terms of quality of life and uniqueness. The firm has developed an experienced, global network of design professionals with diverse visions and forward-thinking solutions. Each design brief the Nomadas team works on follows a systematic process of design that fully utilises this network with a three-fold focus on human, urban and economic elements. A beautiful example of the results of this process is brilliant projects like the Casa Guaparo in Venezuela or the urban proposal for Southland Mall in Florida. The former is a modern home in Valencia that was converted from a drive-in theatre to a home with a unique approach to what should be interior and exterior and was nominated for the MIES Crown Hall Americas Prize. The latter is a concept derived from the reflection of the future of spaces previously held by now abandoned malls, and how to transform them into vibrant urban centres for living, entertainment, and experiencing better quality of urban life. NMD NOMADAS has grown its international presence in the past few years. It is leveraging the push toward remote work to establish itself in many global markets without having to travel as often. W With its global headquarter in Florida, the firm has taken advantage of many opportunities for growth and expansion, satisfying its clients at every turn. However, a continuous challenge that Nomadas faces is balancing its ideal of improving the quality of human life, managing the urban impact of its buildings, and the economic stability of every challenge it engages with its clients’ requirements. However, in recent years, numerous trends have arisen that have helped Nomadas in this regard. The team has noted an increased focus on adding open spaces and spaces for families to share, a growing desire for more walkable cities, and increased importance placed on individual well-being and ethical consumption amongst the general populace. These are many of the ideas the firm actively works towards and has left it uniquely capable of providing these solutions ahead of its competitors. It seems the market has caught up to Nomadas in some areas, leaving it able to use its years of experience to lead the way to further innovation in urban architecture. Its immediate plans include consolidating itself within the American market; its offices in Miami, Boston, and Houston are working hard to increase the quality of its network and clients and improve its role in constructing these cities. More immediate plans include developing its new presence in Europe, working through the unique challenges of its offices in Latin America and publishing its book “HUE Thinking”. For 2023, NMD Nomadas is already searching for conversion opportunities, looking to turn each real-estate development into a chance for human inspiration, crafting all new properties and infrastructure solutions that utilise the team’s unique views on how the urban landscape should be composed. The market’s future is very much up for Nomadas’ taking, its proven track record of excellence and forward-thinking setting the foundations for the practice’s further successes.
