How do you choose the right plants for a project?

We consider light levels, space use, traffic flow, maintenance requirements and the character of the architecture. Our horticultural specialists select species that will thrive in the environment and meet your design goals.

Can greenery improve acoustics or air quality?

Yes. Plants and natural materials can soften sound, create acoustic comfort and help moderate indoor air conditions. These benefits contribute to calmer, healthier environments.

Do you provide fully bespoke designs?

Absolutely. Every project is custom from the ground up, floor plans, planting schemes and greenery panels are all designed specifically for your space, rather than using one-size-fits-all solutions.

How does greenery improve retail environments?

Plants create welcoming, human-centred spaces that encourage customers to linger longer, engage more deeply and connect with the brand. They can guide circulation, highlight focal points and reduce sensory overload in large-format stores.

Can greenery be used effectively in healthcare and aged care environments?

Yes. Natural elements support healing, reduce stress and improve emotional and cognitive wellbeing. Thoughtfully designed greenery can help create restorative, dignified and uplifting environments for patients, residents and staff.

How does greenery enhance hotels and hospitality spaces?

Plants soften arrival experiences, enrich lobbies and suites, and create sensory moments that help guests relax and feel at ease. Biophilic elements can support better sleep, reduce stress and make stays feel more memorable and connected to place.

What greenery solutions are suitable for high-traffic public spaces like airports or train stations?

Durable, low-maintenance systems such as engineered green walls, overhead planting and structural planters are ideal. These bring warmth and identity to busy environments while supporting wellbeing and creating memorable moments of calm.

Do you work with large commercial interiors?

Yes. Our team specialises in large-format workplaces, retail centres, hotels and public buildings. We use innovative planting systems to integrate greenery seamlessly into expansive architectural volumes, improving wayfinding, acoustics and overall experience.

‍

How do you incorporate greenery into small offices or compact areas?

We use targeted planting, custom greenery panels and efficient floor, wall and ceiling-mounted systems that maximise impact without taking up valuable space. Thoughtful placement can make even the smallest offices feel more open, calm and inviting.

What types of spaces can benefit from greenery design?

Almost any space. We design for workplaces, retail stores, hotels, hospitality venues, public spaces, healthcare environments, aged care, lobbies, atriums and residential settings. Each project is tailored to the scale, function and architectural character of the space.

What is greenery design and why does it matter?

Greenery design is the thoughtful integration of plants into interior spaces to enhance wellbeing, improve aesthetics and contribute to healthier, more human environments. When grounded in biophilic design principles, it can reduce stress, support focus, improve air quality and create spaces that feel welcoming and alive.

Do you have dedicated designers regionally?

Yes, we have designers in every major city to ensure that our team can work closely with our clients in each region.
