Second Nature begins with design that mimics the natural world and its positive impact on our mental health (also known as biophilic design), and is environmentally sustainable. Yet Second Nature goes even further: we create new types of environments that inspire the sublime, one of the core characteristics to our relationship to nature. By doing so, we create a direct and healthy relationship to our cities and our world. We do this by having the built environment be something that appears to be grown from nature itself. Our studio is out to build natural formations wherever we go.
