nature
as
blueprint for design

"My work focuses on rewilding and restoring landscapes to their original state. I combine minimalist modern design and wilderness, moving away from traditional, agricultural, and pastoral landscapes. As the owner and director of African Environmental Design, I promote an ecological aesthetic to public, commercial, and private properties – inspired by South African landscape topography and vegetation."

African Environmental Design is a South African-based landscape architecture practice that operates Nationally and Internationally with offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

 " I see a landscape as a constantly changing system rather than a product. Solutions are site-specific, but beauty will always stay important in our approach.

Bio-mimicry as icons of larger natural systems, juxtaposed in the urban landscape, re-present our idea of landscape and our place in nature."
