CONSERVING NATURE / PRESERVING CULTURE

---

our philosophy

Recognizing the urgency of climate change, we understand its direct impact on cities globally, including Singapore. Extreme weather events threaten coastal regions, while rapid urbanization strains resources and ecosystems. Our pursuit of progress shouldn't compromise the environment or disrupt society.

To combat these challenges, mere sustainability isn't sufficient; we advocate for regeneration and restoration. True sustainability demands a holistic, collaborative effort for the betterment of all.
At our core, we believe in coexisting with nature, fostering ecological urbanism for a thriving future in Singapore. Join us in preserving our rich heritage while conserving our precious environment.

who we are

---

Embracing the ever-evolving wealth of human knowledge, Landscape Architects have transitioned from merely focusing on spatial aesthetics and beautification to adopting a science-based approach for planning and design. Our consultancy firm, rooted in these principles, takes pride in delivering award-winning services that address the growing needs of developing cities, particularly in the Asian context. Through our diverse projects, we strive to make a positive impact on the communities we serve.

​An excellent example of our work is the transformation of Admiralty Park in Singapore into a destination park. Our vision for the park was to create a large-scale play attraction that fosters social and cultural connections, promoting human wellness and a sense of belonging. We carefully conserved and enhanced existing natural habitats, strategically planting native flora to boost biodiversity in the urban environment.
 
Similarly, in the development of All Saints Home in Yishun, we prioritized preserving vast green spaces to establish a green oasis for residents. This not only regulated the microclimate but also mitigated the urban heat island effect. Additionally, we designed communal gardening spaces to empower elderly and handicapped residents, fostering a sense of purpose and social well-being. Urban farming was also integrated into the design to provide fresh food while reducing the carbon footprint through the farm-to-table movement.
 
At our core, we believe in creating sustainable landscapes that go beyond aesthetics, contributing to the broader ecosystem and the well-being of the community we serve. Our approach combines scientific principles with a deep understanding of human needs and aspirations. With a strong focus on innovative solutions, we are dedicated to shaping environments that positively impact society and nature alike.
