Commercial Design

commercial landscape design services for developers, architects and builders

Hospices and hospitals have particular landscape design needs.

Greenstone Design will work with you to design and project manage the development of rehab gardens, social and therapeutic gardens, special sensory gardens, and tranquil yet stimulating gardens for their carers.

When Gayle Souter-Brown designed the rehab garden at the National Spinal Injuries Centre, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire she canvassed staff, patients and their families. The resulting design is a stimulating, accessible garden where patients can grow their own vegetables and flowers, or just sit and admire the view.

Low-cost and low maintenance designs for social and therapeutic rehab gardens make them accessible for most budgets. Using recycled and locally sourced materials keeps costs down. Planting that is drought tolerant and needs minimal upkeep reduces maintenace costs.

Do you have a wonderful new business that people cannot find? Entrances that make an impact will be memorable and readily identifiable. Logical colour and style associations help. If you sell insurance, blue is a solid dependable colour to paint your frontage. If you sell fireplaces, use warm colours to entice customers in.

Whether you are upgrading your site or planning a new premise, Greenstone Design can help you with landscape design to brand your space.

Greenstone Design can improve your corporate image.

GET AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION . Faced with multiple challenges of global economics, climate change, and peak oil, our business architecture must change, our way of thinking must change and we must fundamentally change how we live and work.

'GO GREEN'. Transform your business with effective landscape design around your building and attractive, sustainable interior design. Greenstone Design can offer enhanced energy efficiency, sustainable waste management and sustainable water supplies incorporated into your design.

BECOME an ENVIRONMENTALLY AWARE property developer. Socially responsible, functional design incorporates larger windows, orientates buildings for maximum natural daylight, includes shade options around the building, and plants trees and edible gardens. By offering a bespoke landscaped garden to new home owners, developers offer a value-added service, avoid waste and settle the new development into its environment. Greenstone Design will work with you and the new home owners to develop garden designs that can be installed as interiors are being finished.

The environment has surged into pop culture in the last year or so. What factors led to the environmental tipping point?

First, it became good business. Some entrepreneurs discovered that you can make money doing good, and suddenly larger groups woke up to the fact and didn't want to be left out. Then Wall Street got on board. Once big business like Goldman Sachs is involved, you know 'going green' has hit the mainstream.

Secondly, at the same time people were experiencing the symptoms of climate change and a changing energy landscape - whether it was soaring utility prices or intensifying droughts or their health was being affected.

Challenges can become opportunities, depending on how they are handled.

Greenstone Design will work with you to enhance your business and the environment. We work with the culture of your organisation to ensure sustainable commercial interior and landscape design meets your needs.
