When commercial design and nature become one, it transcends us to place of peace and overall health and wellbeing. Dating back to the Egyptians who had papyrus ponds in their homes or the famous hanging gardens of Babylon, there has been a consistent desire to connect humans and nature.

It has been proven that the bond between humans and nature is a key part of our health and wellbeing as a species. Creating this bond can reduce stress, improve intellectual function and creativity, which is why there has been a high demand within the commercial design industry to captivate natural elements and connect it into the work environment.

When commercial design and nature have been blended beautifully it truly is an amazing sight. We have complied some of the most masterfully design commercial builds around the world that combine our inner needs as humans and urban design.
