"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.
He infused the previous academic practice with his urban afforestation project which has now evolved into ‘The Botanical Lab’ - an art-house by itself.
Envisioning and marketing
You can have visualizations of landscapes through illustration and concept design, which aid in brand development and marketing.
Planning and Execution
Along with various teams and specialists , Waylon develops regenerative systems with principles incorporated from permaculture, aquaponics, ecosystem engineering, sustainable community design and urban forestry
Execution and Fabrication
Sensitive urbanization requires a focus on coexistence and design that works with the existing environment and ecologies.

The Outcomes
are aesthetic, ethical, culturally sensitive, economically viable and structurally sound. Onlookers experience depth and a series of textures, surprises and contemplative moods.
You can have a merger of the indoors and outdoors, where your home is nestled in navigable botanical gardens, food forests, vistas and avenues.
Creating lush visuals and textures by working with complementary architectural styles and composition
You can have your vistas composed with the different architectural elements by drawing from tropical, colonial, vernacular, fusion , vintage and contemporary styles
Using lush tropical and sculptural flora
Adding colour to driveways, carparks and walkways using fruits, flowers and foliage
Food forests and Edible gardens

Living drapery for food and privacy
Waylon complements built environments with green structures that yield seclusion, aesthetic pleasure and edibles for a sustainable lifestyle and farm-to-table experiences. He has created xerophytic terrace gardens, herb and fruit terraces, edible boulevards and indigenous flower trails.
Maximizing solar capture and deploying permaculture in collaboration with architects for a triple benefit: passive cooling, food production and synergistic design
Adding fruits, endemic flowers to invite butterflies , yams and tubers, gourds and leafy vegetables for multi-sensory delight - not one sterile plant in sight!

Water
Waylon designs water systems that are natural and recreational, while incorporating elements of local tradition and culture. His aquascapes pay homage to the centrality of water to life by recreating or nuturing luxurious wild green spaces to enhance local ecology and food security.
Water feature designs and aquaponic systems that aesthetically blend food security and biodiversity.
You can have tastefully designed aquaponic food systems: from koi carp ponds to shrimp and fish farming in homes and restaurants.
