RESTORE OUR NATURE
earth-centred design practice
FOUNDATIONAL DESIGN PRINCIPLES BEYOND SUSTAINABILITY
Our pursuit for solutions distracts us from the fundamental issues that perpetuate human separation from nature.
Work with us to write a new story where you can imbed Earth-centred design principles into every stage of your project and play a part in restoring our nature.
+ Ground your design approach
+ Engage in systemic thinking
+ Re-learn what it means to design intuitively
+ Apply holistic, long-term strategies based on recognising natural systems
+ Redefine the concept of "value" beyond the ROI
+ Learn and Practice Collaborative Design
IN SERVICE TO NATURE
IN SERVICE TO YOU
Co-Design looks at extending the circle of stakeholders. Explore and apply ways forward that give back to the Earth, therefore giving back to ourselves and others in our living system.
Approach the project with a global mind, arrive at local solutions.
Any piece of land has the potential to restore our (human) nature & wellbeing, while providing for needs of all. Imagine a healthy, happy, culturally rich space, in balance with the rhythms of the seasons. Waterways lush with filtering plants, where biodiversity is the norm. We support strategising and exploring what is possible.
For individuals, design professionals, students, land owners, and organisations that want to recalibrate.
These workshops and conversations will help us remember our place as a species dependent on our life support system: Planet Earth.

monthly thought:
"...May this decade bring more than just solutions, more than just a future - may it bring words we don't know yet, and temporalities we have not yet inhabited. May we be slower than speed could calculate, and swifter than the pull of the gravity of words can incarcerate. And may we be visited so thoroughly, and met in wild places so overwhelmingly, that we are left undone. Ready for composting. Ready for the impossible. Welcome to the decade of the fugitive."
