A unique experience for all the family

Gehl has collaborated with many places around the world from Christchurch in New Zealand, Bergen in Norway to New York, as well as many other smaller communities, and we are proud to be a part of the An Camas Mór team. Our process always begins with people, by listening and engaging with the future residents of a community, which is why we turn the design process upside down and start our projects by planning for life first – then space – then buildings.  Crucial to the success of a place is that future residents have a shared understanding of sustainable development.
