Why design health promotion solutions?
Edible sensory planting for health and well-being
1. health promotion is cost effective.
2. when children and young people feel well they attend school more often and do better in class.
3. when staff feel valued and well, they have fewer sick days and perform better at work
4. when older people have access to sensory-rich natural environments, mood is enhanced and memory can be improved
5. when your outdoor spaces are designed to provide measurable health and wellbeing outcomes, climate action is taken and the biodiversity crisis is addressed.
We are proud New Zealanders who believe strongly in the koru's symbol of growth, harmony and new beginnings. Every day, we work to put the 'green' back into Aotearoa's brand.
As public health-trained landscape architects and urban designers we work to make a difference. Our mission is to design spaces - whether a break out space for the office, new entrance-way for your vineyard, a school playground or retirement village gardens - to look good and feel great. Our designs offer wow factor and health and well-being. Performance surveys show staff who have access to appropriate greenspace at work perform better and are more loyal. Studies of playgrounds show a reduction in bullying once natural play can balance equipment and hard sports areas. In hospitals, a view of healing gardens can reduce medication needs and healing time.
GreenstoneDesign work collaboratively. Our small team embodies what we believe to be a unique blend of passionate people - landscape architects, psychologists, ecologists, neuro-scientists, architects, interior designers, urban designers, educators and horticulturalists. Our landscape designs quietly make a difference, to you and your local environment. From large-scale eco resorts to small-scale roof gardens, children's gardens to community gardens, port and coastal developments to riverside communities, we work locally and internationally to create ecologically healthy environments. All projects incorporate our specialty; look good-feel great, sensory-integrating, functional space.
As sustainable designers we guide with confidence and clarity, to ensure your budget is spent wisely. As independent landscape and urban designers, we ensure that regardless of who is paying, your funding is spent to best effect.
We work remotely and on site. This means that if it is not practical for us to come to you, we can work with you via email, phone and Zoom. You then simply provide photos and site measurements and we do the rest. Please contact us for further details and a no-obligation design consultation.
