With construction of Nomad City underway, it is a good moment to return to the people responsible for its architectural concept.
The project was developed in cooperation with Traktor Arquitectura and its founder, Pit Marenco, whose work combines contemporary architecture with sustainable development and careful use of local resources.
Traktor Arquitectura
Founded in 2014, Traktor Arquitectura is an architectural studio with experience designing luxury hotels, villas, and commercial spaces, particularly in the Dominican Republic and Mexico.
Its projects can be found in destinations including Cancún, Tulum, Puerto Aventuras, and Holbox Island.
The studio works across architecture, design, decoration, and modern construction, with sustainability integrated into its approach.
It also employs local workers and uses local resources, helping reduce transportation-related environmental impact while contributing to regional economies.
As the studio’s founders explain, their objective is to develop responsible solutions that support the social and economic development of the places in which they work while maintaining a balance with the natural environment.
Pit Marenco
Pit Marenco, founder of Traktor Arquitectura, is also the author of the architectural concept for Nomad City.
His experience includes work in Mexico, Spain, and his native El Salvador, where he co-founded a BIM — Building Information Modeling — training center.
For three years, he also taught at the Institute of Creative Studies in Cancún in the Department of Architecture and Interior Design.
Marenco’s work focuses strongly on sustainable development and the responsible use of resources. His interests also include the use of organic waste for clean-energy generation.
Translating the Concept into Nomad City
This approach is reflected in the architectural direction of Nomad City.
The concept combines contemporary design with the tropical landscape of Samaná, using ecological construction principles and local materials to give the project a character connected to its surroundings.
For Samana Group, that alignment of values matters.
The objective is not simply to place buildings within a natural landscape, but to develop architecture that responds to it.
With construction now underway, the ideas developed by Pit Marenco and Traktor Arquitectura are beginning to move from drawings and concepts into the physical Nomad City site.
