About Us
"Everyday I see or hear something that more or less kills me with delight" - Mary Oliver
Founded in Singapore in 2017, This Humid House is a botanical design studio working across floral design, landscape design and landscape architecture.
Our work begins with looking closely. We are interested in plants: how they grow, where they come from, how they are cultivated and used, and the forms, colours and behaviours particular to them. We pay attention to climate, geography and culture, and to the ways these shape our relationships with the botanical world.
From this comes a search for the right expression. We think of plants not simply as material, but as a language: a way of giving form to a place, an occasion or an idea. Sometimes that language is exuberant, strange or unexpected; at other times, very little is needed. What matters is that the work feels particular—that the plants, the place and the story belong together.
This pursuit takes different forms across our practice. Floral design allows us to work with the immediacy and transience of plants; landscape asks us to consider growth, succession, ecology and change over much longer periods of time. Each discipline has its own methods and demands, but both are grounded in a close understanding of plants and place.
We are continually looking for plants and materials that might expand this language: the unusual, the unruly and the uncultivated alongside the familiar. Our work is supported by a network of growers, nurseries, suppliers, collectors, craftspeople and collaborators whose knowledge continually expands what we are able to see and make.
SERVICES
This Humid House works across floral design, landscape design and landscape architecture.
Our floral practice includes weddings around the world, events and ongoing floral programmes for homes, hospitality and commercial spaces. We also work on installations, public art, editorial projects and commissions with brands, cultural institutions, artists and other creative practices. Our landscape practice works on gardens and landscapes from concept through to implementation.
Education is an important part of the studio. Through workshops, courses and bespoke programmes, we share the ways of looking, thinking and making that inform our work with plants and flowers.
For flowers in Singapore, our online shop offers arrangements for islandwide delivery.
