Respect for the existing nature and landscape is central to the development of Sami Verde. The resort is being realised on land that was originally used for agriculture, surrounded by centuries-old trees and overlooking the saliña. The design aims to preserve and integrate this natural environment as much as possible.
During the development, we make sustainable choices wherever possible. We work primarily with local partners, use materials sourced from the region and design the site in a way that follows the natural landscape rather than fully levelling it. In this way, we reduce transport movements while also supporting the local economy.
Nature also plays an important role in the layout of the resort. Vegetable, fruit and herb gardens will be created for small-scale communal use, continuing the site’s original agricultural character in a contemporary way.
The homes are designed so that indoor and outdoor living flow seamlessly together, allowing residents to benefit from natural ventilation, daylight and outdoor living. This creates a sustainable way of living that aligns with the climate and landscape of Curaçao.
