Where can I create some new destinations that would help the local economy and people? Where is that next spot? For me it’s the Western Caribbean, the underdeveloped coastal areas of Guatemala, Honduras and Belize. It is a wonderful challenge to try and bring innovation, sustainable architecture and imagination to what will soon be the next great destination."  Lane has completed many projects in the region with a determined focus on green architecture, cultural  protection,  job creation in a region that needs new opportunities for it's growth and a bright future for It's youth.
