What is a Special Commission?
At Nadi Group, projects found under Special Commissions mean the client’s project didn't fit into one of our five practice areas, but we still wanted to complete the work.
For example, a client may start with a traditional master plan. However, down the road, as the master plan comes together, the client then requires a special commission for a pocket park within it.
We also refer to design competitions as Special Commissions' projects. Even though some submissions didn't place, we showcased them anyway. They sit proudly alongside the entries that did because it's a reflection of our ability to respond to different challenges from around the world.
Defining Innovation at Nadi Group
Innovation is how we improve upon current processes, products, and services to enhance efficiency and value. At Nadi Group, innovation is as vital as the caffeine in our coffee.
We value innovation throughout each phase of the project—not just at the beginning or in early consultation with you, the client.
The potential behind innovative processes is that it doesn’t have to be massive, complex, and expensive. Even small, incremental feats in innovations can have a significant impact over time.
Innovation is also how we see the future. At the Nadi Group, we aim to be an innovation hub. It’s why our vision statement is ‘design for a better world.’ Before we take on any project, we ask ourselves, does it make the world a better place? A place where we value inclusivity, sustainability, accessibility, and livability and prioritize environmental protection.
