      Habit8 specialises in place-making, urban design and landscape architecture. The design of our landscape revolves around the use of narratives and visions to engage the community. Our 'bottom up" approach to urban landscaping is driven by user interaction, not policy planning. We aim to 'activate' the atmosphere of the urban area by streamlining designs and creating physical environments that are conducive to human interaction, thus allowing communities to thrive economically, culturally and socially.
