• The path to a better world isn't through pavers but via plants, says artist and Woolly Pocket founder Miguel Nelson. "I love architecture but I think if everyone was gardening instead of building, things would be better better. I think we were put on Earth to garden".
• Indoor air pollution is far more toxic than outdoor pollution. Designers are using plants to help purify the air by filtering air that has been contaminated by manufactured goods. 
• Julio Radesca de Carvalho discovered that twelve house plants per person would be enough to filter the air indoors. A dozen of three very ordinary species – the areca palm, the sansevieria and the epipremnun aureum – can keep us alive even in a completely closed space. 
• The Vertical Garden can be implemented outdoors or indoor in any climatic environment. The plants don't require soil to grow. 
• It is possible for plants to grow on nearly soilless vertical surfaces as long as there is no permanent water shortage.

Let The Sunshine In

When you are feeling blue and a little sluggish my advice is drag your favourite seat over to a window and let the rays of the sun boost you back up again.

Daylight reveals color; artificial light drains it.
Helena Rubinstein


Daylight has a vital influence on human health. Its’ powerful link to nature and its potential is not nearly used to its full extent in homes today.

Recent studies have attempted to link environmental clues, such as lighting, with human performance and health, and initial findings indicate a positive correlation between the two. Light can affect humans on physical, physiological, and psychological levels and lack of light can have consequences for human health. With us spending more time indoors rather than outdoors like our ancestors it’s important for your home to give you a boost. Your windows in the home are your daylight providers. Make use of them and put a smile back onto your face.
