Shared logic
A repeatable kit establishes a consistent way to assemble, maintain and adapt the living system.
Design
Industrially made. Naturally composed.
A modular system does not have to look modular. Different arrangements, planting communities and edges allow the same underlying system to respond to different waterscapes.
01 / System + expression
A system, not a shape.
Standardisation belongs beneath the landscape. Above it, modules become a framework for varied spatial, botanical and ecological expression.
Site response
Geometry, access, water character and ecological intent guide each composition.
Landscape identity
Planting, spacing and edge conditions allow every project to develop its own presence.
02 / Compositions
Four ways to meet the water.
These are spatial starting points rather than fixed products. Each can be adjusted, combined or extended in response to a site.
A
Shoal
Low, dispersed clusters that read as a shifting field across open water.
B
Reed
Linear bands and upright planting that reinforce direction, threshold and movement.
C
Garden
Layered communities composed for season, colour and close-range experience.
D
Habitat
Irregular, sheltered arrangements that prioritise complexity and ecological refuge.
03 / Planting as design
Plants shape the space.
Planting is not decoration applied to a finished object. It is a living design material that changes the silhouette, atmosphere and ecological performance of the composition.

04 / Edges, density, rhythm
Compose what connects—and what remains open.
The character of a water landscape is shaped as much by intervals and gaps as by modules themselves.
Continuity / dispersion
Treat the composition as a sequence of thresholds, not an object dropped onto water. A continuous band can hold an urban edge; dispersed islands can extend depth, borrow the distant view and allow water to remain present between them.
Density / openness
Density gives weight; openness gives breath. Concentrate planting where enclosure, shade or habitat complexity matters, then use open water as deliberate spatial pause—not as leftover space between modules.
Softness / definition
An edge can disappear through low planting, reflections and irregular overlap, or become precise where public space needs orientation. The choice should follow viewing distance, movement and the character of the adjoining architecture.
Repetition / variation
Repeat a construction logic, not a visible pattern. Shift interval, height, planting mass and seasonal emphasis so the whole remains coherent while avoiding the mechanical uniformity of a manufactured raft.
05 / For designers
Co-create ecological systems through design collaboration.
We want to work with landscape architects, architects and planners from early site thinking through composition, planting intent and project integration.

Design collaboration support
- CAD / DWG resources—
- Typical sections—
- Planting palettes—
- Specification guidance—
Begin with the information your project needs. We can collaborate around site conditions, composition, planting intent and technical interfaces.
06 / Start with the site
Bring us your water.
Share the site, its constraints and the landscape you want to create. We can explore what kind of system belongs there.
