LANDSCAPE DESIGN
In our rapidly growing cities, concrete & asphalt trap & radiate heat, creating Urban Heat islands, which is notably concerning. These densely built areas increase city temperatures, impacting our health, comfort & overall well-being. Midori Architects recognizes the significance of thoughtfully designed landscapes in transforming urban environments, allowing people to connect with nature even amidst bustling city life. Our philosophy reaches emphasizes on mitigating the urban heat island effect while revitalizing cityscapes. We explore & enhance vertical, diagonal & loftier horizonal spaces through innovations like sky gardens, sky courts & green walls.

Through our work, we create vibrant, cooler & healthier spaces where greenery thrives & harmonize with their surroundings. Here’s a glimpse of how we materialize eco-friendly landscapes:
1. SITE ANALYSIS
We begin by assessing your site’s microclimate & soil conditions. This foundational step helps us create a landscape plan that complements the surroundings, contributes to cooling urban areas & fosters biodiversity.
2. TREE TRANSPLANTING
Preserving existing trees is central in our approach. We prioritize moving existing trees & acclimatizing them to new locations, eventually preserving ecosystems, reducing carbon loss & minimizing heat.
3. SUSTAINABLE PLANT SELECTION
We design landscapes which utilize drought-tolerant, native plants & flourish with minimal water & maintenance. These species help earn LEED credits for Water Efficiency & Sustainable Sites because of their local adaptability, enhancing resilience & beautifying spaces.
4. MATERIAL CHOICES
Sustainable materials are key to effective landscape design. We use less emissive materials like lighter pavements & permeable surfaces to mitigate urban heat & support sustainable urban cooling.
5. CREATING GREEN SPACES
Together, these strategies create vibrant green spaces that cool urban areas, purify air, enhance urban biodiversity & naturally manage stormwater.
6. GREEN CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS
With our thoughtful design practices, your project can earn site-related green certification credits, reflecting your commitment to building resilient, eco-friendly spaces.
With Midori’s holistic approach to landscape design, urban spaces can become sustainable thriving environments that balance beauty, biodiversity & climate resilience. Let’s work together to create landscapes that benefit the planet & enrich our lives.
