About the name ‘Nomad Concept’

My Story

Architectural Research in Tibetan areas

During many years Amandus VanQuaille was team leader of a DFG (German Research Council) research project in Ladakh and Zanskar (Himalayas in the North of India), studying Buddhist monasteries and human settlements in the West-Himalayas. During those studies, he became acquainted with the nomadic Tibetan architecture and life style. He started dreaming about making ‘tent structures’ adopted to the western world life style.

On from 2000, architect Amandus VanQuaille started his own design studio called ‘The Nomad Concept’. From the beginning he concentrated on sustainable tensile or membrane architecture.

Amandus VanQuaille won many awards, including twice the prestigious ‘International Design Awards’.

Architecture is about experience, not only visual

As a full-service firm, The Nomad Concept is present on projects from start to finish, ensuring that the ideas conceived in the beginning with clients are manifest at the end. We achieve this through close collaboration with all members of the project team, including consultants, contractors, trades and artisans.

Architecture & Planning

Our design combines exuberance and rigor, modernism and craftsmanship. With each project, whether public, corporate or private, urban or rural, we consider the larger framework in which the building fits—the living context and natural surroundings.

Construction & Building

Construction and building is in our genes for many centuries. Not only the design should be nice, but also the practice of building and maintenance, years after installation.
