Over the years we have created an array of diverse strategies, that continuously guide companies and municipalities in reaching a sustainable future. We nurture a culture of dialogue, trust, and a human-centered approach when forming strategies with our clients and collaborators.

Our strategies vary from large-scale biodiversity strategies, strategic nature-based climate adaptation, place-making strategies, and sustainable process design.

As a design studio, we also offer to kickstart the strategies with nature.  We have a great experience with catapulting visions and strategies with temporary nature-based projects that turn the strategies into places with physical impact from day one.
