Our design work is carried out in a creative, wild, nature-inspired studio environment, where the hanging forest epiphytes, pitcher plants and birds nest ferns surrounding us are as important as our computers, scanners and printers. They help to constantly remind us of our vision and commitment, to create iconic design, inspired by nature where people are able to reconnect with the natural world.

With an extensive portfolio of completed, landmark projects, in over 30 different countries worldwide, our expertise covers hotel, resort, residential, commercial/mixed-use, environmental conservation, heritage, park recreation, public realm and green infrastructure projects. Included in our diverse portfolio are many of the world's most iconic and photographed resort, hotel and luxury residential landscapes.

Inspired by nature and the forms, colours and textures of the natural world, we strive to create a strong sense of place for every project we work on.

Far more than landscapes, we create authentic places, experiences and memories.
