This post dives into outdoor planting designs, guiding readers through the creative process of working with the most dynamic design material of all—plants!

Humans often forget that we are a part of nature. The consequences of pushing nature out of our cities is apparent through many of our contemporary urban and societal issues.

How can we design spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but that can also support the natural world around us?

Nature gives us the understanding that something, or someone, doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.

One plant does not have as much impact as an array of plants, complemented by a system of insects, bees and other fauna.

In a research experiment from MOSS is a breakthrough for progressive understanding of the importance of plants.

Sanitation when taken too far can cause a healthy and diverse environment to collapse, and by diversity we are referring to germs.

Biomimicry is by definition the act of learning from nature, borrowing designs that have worked in place for billions of years.

Health and wellness appeals to everyone. All around the globe, people are promoting environments that support healthy lifestyles.

Inspirited by a growing body of evidence, we see how biophilia affects our perception of space and drives business. 

This is an introduction to our starters guide on how to make a sustainable, innovative and well designed green plan.

COVID-19 will have a long-lasting and perhaps even a positive impact on the way we use buildings.

Advances in technology mean that architecture uses shapes and structures inspired by the natural world.

There is a power of green which balances the environment while also making us as humans feel at peace.

The decline of indigenous species and the loss of natural habitats from cities occurs more and more frequently.

Earth’s environment – we try to control it, to protect it. We depend upon it. And we try to understand it. But could we recreate it?

We value green and healthy cities, and green building certificates are a standard initiative in any scalable building process.

Feeling stressed and exhausted? Consider the impact of green on your mental health; it has more of an effect than you think!

Here you have it! From the tiny and pristine to the rugged and expansive, here are our favorite green spots in Amsterdam.

As cities face modern challenges, how can we create a resilient urban living environment that ensures a good quality of life?  

Chances are high that your roof is costing valuable space while not tapping into full environmental and economic opportunity.

We are eager to find ways of reconnecting urbanites with the origin and value of nature as it’s meant to be.

Your affinity for green may be as big as ours, but did you ever wonder about the ability green has to cure?

This blog is about how green roof projects are motivated by more than just environmental benefits!

‘Sustainability’, ‘Green’, ‘Circular’, ‘BREEAM’ de termen die we liever niet gebruiken maar hoe dan ook niet omheen kunnen.
