Landscape Design Director | Full-Time
We are a botanical design studio founded in Singapore that encompasses both floral design for events and installations and a dedicated landscape design studio (THH Landscape). We believe in synergy and knowledge sharing between our departments, often co-creating on projects that benefit from the combined expertise. THH is a unique design studio that works broadly with living media across various disciplines, driven by curiosity and a commitment to exploring the storytelling potential of plants and flowers.
Rather than imposing a preconceived style, we respond to the unique context of each place, allowing the site’s character to guide our design approach, with the botanical taking precedence. We approach planting selections with great care, ensuring they are thoughtful, nuanced, and sensitive to the cultural and ecological layers of each site. Our hardscape designs strive to seamlessly integrate the user experience with the botanical elements and the tectonics of each space.
