Green
Planted and natural areas together form green structure. The scale of green structure extends from built yards to extensive wild landscapes. We have a strong vision of land-use planning and expertise in living infrastructure design which are our starting points to reconcile built natural environments.
Recognizing and developing landscape values is the basis for sustainable and adaptive development. We use nature-based solutions to provide habitats both for humans and other species. Northern nature is our source of inspiration. We interpret it in different ways in constructed environment, utilizing dynamic vegetation and biotope-based design.
