“For us, sustainability is a way of thinking. It is integral to design and fundamental to
making a project work. Working in our industry, it is naturally intrinsic in our decision-
making. For instance, our plant selections need to be suitable for their ‘place’. That
is, having the necessary attributes for the environment they will ultimately flourish in.
In doing so, they are inherently sustainable. Whether it’s an 800 square metre project
built to boundaries or many hectares, we instill different strategies for the long-term
success of the garden. Further to that, plant life on the building itself can assist with
insulation and can reduce ambient temperature by four to six degrees. This
protection, combined with the natural forces of wind, can assist with tempering the
environment … we’ve noticed a shift towards integrating landscape with the built
form. A ‘blurring of the lines’ so to speak, between indoors and out. Landscape is
amalgamating more with architecture and has never been valued more highly. There
is a movement toward horizontal, vertical, and internal landscapes. The landscape is
part of the built form and is a considered element of the design process.” – Marc
