LIVING TECHNOLOGY · SURREY
We make gardens
do things.
Useful systems for looking after themselves. Curious objects for noticing more. One-off ideas for gardens that want to become something else entirely.

USEFUL SYSTEMS
Less work.
More garden.
We begin with the things that should simply take care of themselves. Properly designed, quietly installed, and supported after the novelty has worn off.
Looking after itself is only
the beginning.

COMMISSIONS · IMPOSSIBLE GARDENS
Some things do not exist
until somebody asks for them.
One garden. One peculiar problem or excellent idea. We combine design, engineering and horticultural sense to find out whether it should be real.
CONCEPT STUDY · MF/01THE SAME IDEA · TWO WAYS OF SEEING
A fountain that wakes when the moon appears.
Water begins to move as the moon clears the trees. Nobody presses anything. For a moment, the garden appears to have made up its own mind.
EXPERIMENTS

under investigation.
