(01) Approach
Our approach
We organise indoor and outdoor spaces so every part of a site earns its place, with a delicate balance between nature, aesthetics and function.
-
01
Sustainability
Planting chosen for each site's soil, rainfall and altitude, from the Kilifi coast to the Limuru highlands. Drainage and irrigation are designed in from the start, not added later.
-
02
Function
Paths that follow how people actually move, shade where it's needed, and layouts that stay easy and affordable to maintain for years.
-
03
Aesthetics
Structure, texture and colour composed with restraint, so a landscape looks right on handover day and better five years on.
(02) Selected work
Offices, homes and public parks across Kenya.
A selection from more than twenty projects, from a 30-acre coastal park to roof gardens in the middle of Nairobi.

(03) Transformations
From bare earth to places people gather.
Drag the handle, or focus it and use the arrow keys, to compare each site before and after our work.
Rehabilitation counts too
Not every project starts from bare soil. Our rehabilitation and maintenance contracts bring tired gardens back, as at the KMA residence in 2025.

Sketch concepts first, then working drawings, planting plans and a clear bill of quantities.

Our team installs, or supervises your contractor, until the landscape matches the design.
