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.

Envisioning and marketing

You can have visualizations of landscapes through illustration and concept design, which aid in brand development and marketing.

Planning & Execution

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.

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

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.

Space design

Interiors | Lighting | Furniture | Products | Upcycling | Signage

He designs interiors as well as the elements that bring interiors to life - lighting systems, furniture, products and signage. He merges natural, synthetic, recycled and upcycled material with a focus on durability and aesthetics. Stylistically he employs an eclectic approach that includes retro-futuristic, oceanic, baroque, earthy and contemporary dimensions.

Natural swimming pools offer an added layer of hydrodimensionality by giving life to edible gardens.

Furniture and spaces are designed and built to transition seamlessly between the outdoors and indoors; the new and upcycled; the efficiently functional and gloriously imaginative.

Interiors & Lighting

Recreating old structures into restaurants and rejuvenative spaces with sky roofs, aquaponics, upcycling and art

Creating seamless transitions between outdoors and indoors

Lighting, signage &, upcycling

Merging natural, synthetic, recycled and upcycled material with durabitilty and opulence

The resulting signage, urns, lamps, chandeliers and more are all designed with an eye for rejuvenation and aesthetic nourishment.

Furniture & Signage

His projects span gaming lounges, restaurants with aquaponics and small, intimate spaces.

A stylistic chameleon, Waylon is able to work with forms ranging from from retro-futuristic to oceanic, baroque to earthy, and contemporary to antique.
