We dug (and dug) through the photo archives and finally found some of the early shots from this build.
Swipe through to see how it all came together. From the initial concrete works, cleaning the glass and painting the hardscape, to delivering the tank to Science Centre Singapore, planting it up, and finally seeing the exhibit open to the public.
Projects like this are always satisfying to look back on. What visitors eventually see as a finished habitat starts with a lot of messy hands, concrete, paint, planning and patience behind the scenes.
And one of our favourite photos from the archive, two young visitors from Japan stopping to explore the installation.
We couldn’t understand what they were saying, but judging by how closely they were looking, the carnivorous plants definitely caught their attention.

Sometimes that quiet curiosity is the best reaction we can ask for.

Some projects look their best the day they’re completed. Others just need time to grow into themselves.

Completed in November 2024 for Science Centre Singapore, this carnivorous plant installation was created for a carnivorous plant themed exhibition bringing together different living specimens within one immersive display.

The entire hardscape was constructed from concrete, as we usually do, hand sculpted, textured and painted to form the rockwork, branches and structural elements of the habitat. It was then planted with a diverse collection of carnivorous plants, allowing the installation to evolve naturally over time.

These images weren’t taken when the project was freshly completed. They were taken a week ago during maintenance, almost two years later. And we think that’s the more interesting part. A good habitat shouldn't only photograph well on Day One. It should mature, change and become more convincing with time.

A lot of different hands and expertise can go into creating something like this. Although apparently, once it reaches Instagram, "working together" occasionally develops the remarkable ability to become personal achievements. We’ll leave the chasing of followers, likes and credits to others. For us, the work has always mattered more than the credit.

Anyway, back to the plants.
We’ll be digging into the archives next and sharing images from when this installation was first completed in November 2024. Same installation. Different stage of growth.

Stay tuned.

From unused space to living architecture.

What began as a simple staircase was redesigned as an integrated feature. A concealed storage, custom carpentry and a built-in paludarium, all working as one composition.

Concrete is shaped into rock and branching structures, individually sculpted, painted and installed before planting.
A once overlooked space, now occupied by nature.

A closer look at the details behind our floor to ceiling paludarium.

Conceived as a living architectural feature, the installation was developed through a 30-day process from tank fabrication and carpentry to concrete hardscape construction, painting, planting and final delivery.

The vertical scale allowed us to approach the composition differently, using structure, depth and planting to create the impression of a rainforest extending through the space.

Up close, the material transitions and finer details become more apparent, where fabricated structure, concrete and living elements come together as one continuous environment

The floor to ceiling proportions of this paludarium allowed us to work vertically. Creating the sense of looking into a slice of rainforest, where trunks, roots and foliage extend upwards rather than being confined to a conventional tank.

The hardscape was sculpted entirely from concrete, forming tall naturalistic structures that emphasise height and depth.

Sometimes, it’s not about building wider.
It’s about building upwards.

A rewarding collaboration with Baya Weaver Pte Ltd at the Singapore Garden Festival.

Our paludarium was incorporated into their competition showcase, bringing together landscape architecture and vivarium in a shared space. Among five selected participating landscape design firms, Baya Weaver was awarded Bronze.

Congratulations to Le Anh, and thank you for having us be part of the journey!

Built for the rainforest.

Now the question is: what would you host in this 30x30x45 cm habitat.

What if a rainforest could fit on your desk?

Inspired by buttress roots and the dense understory of tropical forests, this vivarium was designed to feel larger than it actually is.

Every root, rock and plant was placed to create depth, scale and the illusion of an ancient forest hidden behind glass.

The best part? It'll only look better with time.

From teardown to rainforest recovery.

This exhibit revamp for a pair of Chinese crocodile lizard at Singapore Zoo’s REPTOPIA began with an empty enclosure and slowly evolved into a living habitat.

Built not just for display, but for the animals to live within naturally.
The final step was introducing the lizards back into their new environment — where wood, water, and plants come together as one ecosystem.

We don’t install tanks.
We construct habitats.

Swipe through the transformation.

Hardscape gives the habitat its structure.
Planting gives it life.
One is built with concrete, texture, and form.
The other slowly takes over with growth, colour, and movement.

Honestly, we still can’t decide which part we enjoy more.
Which would you choose?
