"Design should be rejuvenative, recreational and reflective of nature, leaving a minimal footprint."
Landscaping & Permaculture Design
Waylon’s design solutions facilitate mindful consumption and minimally wasteful lifestyles. His designs draw from different concepts including farm-to-table ecosystems, aquascaping, biomimicry, bioremediation, upcycling and waste management. He incorporates inputs from experts in specialized fields to examine projects from different perspectives.
His lighting, furniture and architectural elements are created from upcycled urban detritus, and have found commercial and residential use since 2009. Waylon designs biomimicry-inspired concepts to inspire water conservation, recycling and use.
Waylon examines projects holistically, and creates integrated designs that are aesthetic, ethical, culturally sensitive, economically viable and structurally sound.
Envisioning & Marketing
He infused the previous academic practice with his urban afforestation project which has now evolved into ‘The Botanical Lab’ - an art-house by itself.
