Site Concepts International

What Site Concepts International does

Site Concepts International (legal entity SCISarasota Inc.) is a privately held landscape architecture and planning firm founded in 1991, headquartered in Sarasota, Florida with a secondary design studio in Orlando. The firm specializes in luxury resort and hospitality outdoor environment design, delivering full-scope services including site planning, pool environments, spa gardens, beachside landscaping, tropical planting design, and landscape installation documentation. Its core methodology—described as 'site-inspired design'—integrates local materials, indigenous plantings, and traditional architectural cues into contemporary, often terraced or hillside-sited compositions tailored to five-star resort brands; signature built work includes the Park Hyatt St. Kitts, Andaz Maui at Wailea, Andaz Papagayo on Costa Rica's Guanacaste coast, and the Hyatt Regency Danang in Vietnam.

The firm operates a project-based professional services model, engaging directly with international resort developers, hotel operators (notably Hyatt-affiliated brands), and real estate partners such as Inspira Realty (a Mumbai-based collaboration). Engagement is sales-led: projects are secured through direct relationships with international design firms and developer clients, supplemented by the reputational pull of an award-laden portfolio (Park Hyatt St. Kitts alone accumulated four 2018 industry awards from Condé Nast, Travel + Leisure, CNN Traveler, and Town & Country). The firm markets primarily through a portfolio website, organic social channels that repurpose guest-posted imagery, and client/international design-firm referrals.

Operationally, SCI is a small practice of 1–10 employees (per firmographic data) with no disclosed ownership structure, no institutional investors, no outside funding, and no app, API, or AI tooling of record. Geographic reach spans the Caribbean (St. Kitts), United States (Hawaii), Latin America (Costa Rica), and Asia (Vietnam and India), with no disclosed revenue, no public pricing, and a 2018-vintage website as the most recent substantive update in the source set aside from a 2026 partnership reference.
