Health and well-being
Landscapes for health and well-being
Greenstone Design is passionate about design for health and well-being. Strong links have been proven between health and nature experiences.
Research shows positive nature experiences lead to both short and long term improvements in health and well being. All age groups benefit, but particularly the young and the old. Our experience confirms both Nature’s ability to provide a cost effective natural health service and the need to link health care providers with salutogenic design professionals. Our urban and landscape design consultants work with policy makers, developers, facilities managers and educators to develop appropriate green spaces throughout the community.

ecological health + human health & well-being = sustainable, resilient communities
We collaborate with scientists, end users, health, housing and welfare professionals, to provide creative design solutions to complex public health problems. The rising incidence of stress, depression and obesity is of concern. Healthy communities depend on high quality green space.
Greenstone Design's landscape architects and urban designers engage, consult and confer to design sustainable communities that capture the biophilic health potential inherit in nature. Existing studies prove the case. Current asset-based thinking gives strength to nature health interventions.
Through environmental design we engage with communities to build social capital, boost resilience and develop the assets for cost-effective prevention of a range of public health concerns. What we need now are people prepared to act to achieve the environments people need to live healthy, productive lives. Please contact us for further information on our consultancy services.
