We are convinced that indoor greenery is an essential part of a new, nature-orientated way of living and working. And we believe that cities need to be designed in a more natural and greener way in the future in order to meet the challenges of climate change.
What are you doing at G&G?
I'm the co-founder and creative designer of Growing and Green. I consult on planting schemes and visual design.
Describe your dream project:
My ultimate dream project would be where we are challenged to create specific climatic environments, using advanced green technologies and showcasing interesting plant schemes to educate the public. Creating an experience for all to see.
Name the most overrated plant:
My most overrated plant would have to be the common spider plant a.k.a Chlorophytum Comosum.
Name the most underrated plant:
In my opinion, the fern species (especially the sword fern a.k.a Nephrolepis exaltata) is definitely an underrated plant.
Bristol or Bremen?
This is a hard one! I love Bristol for its diversity and culture in the creative arts but I love Bremen for the same reason. If i could pick Bristol up and put it in Germany then I would, But Bremen and Bristol are very similar....so I guess Bremen 🙂
Less or more?
Depends on the concept idea.
Was machst du bei G&G?
Ich bin Co-Gründer, Designer und kümmere mich um die Bewässerungstechnik
Traumprojekt
Ich würde gerne Fassaden so begrünen, dass sie Nahrung, Schatten und Schönheit bieten. Und einen Wasserfall in einem Gebäude bauen.
Form oder Funktion?
Form ist Funktion.
Formschluss oder Kraftschluss?
Formschluss
Stadt oder Land? Oder Fluss?
Am liebsten alles! Ich wohne in der Stadt, fahre so oft ich kann raus aufs Land zu meinem Schäferwagen und bin manchmal mit meinem Kanadier auf der Wümme unterwegs.
