Commercial and Branded Landscape Environments
We design outdoor environments that translate your brand identity into physical, living spaces. From office green facades to retail garden entries, we blend nature with commercial utility.
The green facade of the Tech 37 office building, a project where we collaborated with DDIR Architecture Studio. This living wall serves as a green landmark in the urban environment, improving air quality and the building's aesthetic.
The entrance to Beruru's flagship store on Lavelle Road, a recent retail project. We designed the landscape to create an inviting garden-like entry that reflects the brand's connection to nature and curated goods.

About Commercial & Branded Environments
When we approach a commercial project, we treat the landscape as a foundational element rather than an afterthought. We examine the site's structural reality, such as podium load-bearing capacities and drainage requirements, ensuring that your green facade or garden entry is both visually striking and engineeringly sound. It is about making your brand physically grounded in the local environment, ensuring the living elements thrive within a commercial context.
In commercial environments, the landscape is often the first interaction a client has with your brand. Our work goes beyond simple planting to create intentional spaces that support your business goals. For projects like the Tech 37 office building, we treated the green facade as a structural component, using vegetation to regulate temperature and provide a visual landmark in the urban fabric.
We coordinate closely with architects and structural engineers to manage the complexities of commercial landscaping. This includes planning for soil depths on podiums, implementing drainage layers for roof gardens, and designing durable hardscape patterns using materials like Granite or Kota stone. Whether it is the inviting garden entry we created for the Beruru flagship store or a functional courtyard for an office, we focus on high-traffic durability and native planting palettes that remain vibrant throughout the year. Our process ensures that your investment in green space is sustainable, requiring less long-term maintenance while creating a distinct atmosphere that aligns with your brand's story.
