TNK (ThiNK) green is a multidisciplinary design and lifestyle practice that embraces a holistic approach to design. We are committed to sustainability and creating products of value with the smallest carbon footprint possible, from conception to completion.

Our focus is on creating spaces and products that are enough—not more, not less than what is necessary—and making sustainable choices along the way that allow both humans and the planet to thrive. Our aesthetics present good design and sustainability on the same page. This starts with applying practical thinking to our design process. Growing these ideas into real spaces and products, and dwelling green with longevity.

At TNKgreen we believe a garden is a sanctuary for both humans and wildlife. A good garden can connect us with nature and help to feed us, both physically and mentally. Plants can provide an environment of tranquility and clean the air around us. As a bonus, we can also promote biodiversity. A garden is never really complete; rather it’s a constantly developing living artwork.

Whether you are looking for a cottage garden, a wildflower wonderland, a food forest, a small garden or an indoor plant display we can help to bring it to life. We also install green walls and roofs.

Making use of indigenous and drought-tolerant plants, we create low-maintenance landscapes that will give its users year-round interest and joy. Adding structure with walkways, water features, and by making use of selective feature plants your garden is transformed into a space that fills you with joy. Long-term growth and development is the goal in mind. The end of every installation is only the beginning of the journey…

Collaboration on nature rehabilitation and rewilding projects are welcome. Please contact us for a consultation and installation quote.
