Mountain villages and base lands facilities are a critical component of a mountain resort destination. These commercial and lodging elements require careful planning and consideration to ensure they compliment the unique recreational and environmental attributes of the site. IAD excels in the integrated design of village and real estate areas that capture these elements and provide the highest value. These integrated plans also carefully balance to the comfortable carrying capacity of the resort recreational activities. IAD provides complete design services to identify the opportunities of each site and create a vision for the project that is both functional and economical. During this process, IAD creates an interdisciplinary team of planners, architects, engineers and real estate economists to meet the contextual goals of the project and client.
