- Gayle Souter-Brown in Landscape and Urban Design for Health and Well-Being
Greenstone Design UK was established in 2006 to design healing, healthy landscapes as natural playgrounds, sensory gardens and outdoor classrooms in schools. Since then dementia gardens, residential care facilities, pubic health and mental health providers have enjoyed the cost advantages and simple efficacy of proven health benefits of salutogenic design. New opportunities to address health and well-being through air quality and urban regeneration challenges encouraged us to open offices in New Zealand and USA in 2012.
Healthy landscapes maximise functionality and utility and hence enhance operational efficiency. Using our collaborative salutogenic design approach we reduce costs, positively form spaces which enhance the environment and deliver measurable health and well-being benefits.
Greenstone Design UK Ltd brings a combined 60 + years of international experience, horticultural knowledge, landscape and garden design combined with interior design, and a working dose of Feng shui, to each commission. Our passion is to design to make a difference, socially, environmentally, ethically and economically. Sharing that passion is what motivates us to write, speak and train others. We pride ourselves on delivering environmental design solutions on time and within budget.
An award-winning design consultancy at the forefront of salutogenic landscape and urban design, Greenstone Design UK is known internationally for work with disabled adults and children, developing natural play solutions and outdoor teaching and learning environments. This experience combines to bring an innovative approach to healthcare garden designs. The prevention of lifestyle-related disease is at the heart of our designs, in every setting. In collaboration with public health practitioners we use evidence based environmental design in the management and prevention of depression, diabetes, type 2 diabetes, cardio-vascular disease and lower respiratory disease.
Our small team comprises landscape architects, garden designers, interior designers, environmental education teachers and trainers. We share a love of joined up thinking, working collaboratively, cost effectively, and making a difference.
Greenstone Design UK combines environmental and commercial interests to make a difference socially. Sustainable landscape design has a new importance in this age of climate change and general environmental degradation. Where we work, study and play shapes who we are and how we relate to the world around us.
