Green spaces
that thrive.
People who
flourish.
We design, install and maintain extraordinary green spaces that connect people with nature.
Award-winning biophilic design since 2014
For over a decade we’ve created extraordinary spaces to work and gather. Places where plants aren’t an afterthought, but the heart of the design.
We work across New Zealand, Australia and abroad, partnering with architects, designers, and developers to bring beautiful ideas and challenging briefs to life — in all spaces, from a small office to a large atrium.
Our work has been recognised globally including top honours at the International Biophilic Design Awards for the last three years. What truly drives us however, is bringing the richness of nature into people’s lives, where it inspires, calms and connects us.
