Extreme weather events have become more common, leading to rising sea levels that threaten coastal areas with floods and reduce access to freshwater resources. Rapid urbanization and the pursuit of improved living standards have presented urban cities with challenges due to limited land and resources. Unfortunately, this urbanization often harms the environment and causes social disruptions.
To address these issues, a shift towards sustainability alone is not enough; regeneration and restoration must be promoted to positively impact the environment and various aspects of society. Achieving true sustainability requires a collective and integrated approach for the greater good.
Humans have an innate connection with nature, emphasizing the need for co-existence in an ecological urbanism manner for a better future in the millennium ahead.

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.
