Speaking at Sekisui House’s state-of-the-art manufacturing and research facilities located in Tokyo, Mr Norman said the new partnership gives Sekisui House and Greg Norman Golf Course Design scope to collaborate on creative, innovative and sustainable developments across the world, modelled on the success of The Hermitage.

“For us, sustainability is integral to how we do business. We believe that we have a responsibility to our customers, to the communities and the environment in which we have a presence. Our ‘least-disturbance’ design approach is integrated into each project and results in courses that blend seamlessly with their surroundings and appear as if they have been part of the landscape for generations,” added Mr Norman.

Toru Abe, CEO and Managing Director of Sekisui House Australia, sees the partnership as a natural alignment, with Mr Norman’s commitment to sustainability reflected by Sekisui House’s design principle of ‘satoyama’ – existing in harmony with nature.
