The living world
A garden,
under water.
A freshwater aquarium can feel like a garden seen through clear water. Plant form, open swimming space and the position of wood are composed together, with livestock considered only once the environment is ready.
Design a freshwater aquariumDesigned as one ecosystem
Planting. Space. Movement.
Foreground, middle distance and background planting create depth. Wood and stone establish the structure, while open areas give the fish space and the eye a place to rest.
- Layered aquatic planting
- Wood and stone composition
- Freshwater-specific equipment
A planted aquarium grows and changes. Pruning, observation and adjustments to the light and equipment keep the design working over time.
Understand the care planCompose the underwater landscape
Build depth,
one layer at a time.
Watch the wood, stone and planting establish a composition. The animation reveals design layers. It does not represent the time needed for plants or an aquarium to establish.
Stone sets the structure first, with driftwood placed around it.
A different system, not a filter setting
Choose the world.
Plan the commitment.
Freshwater and marine projects use different equipment, materials and commissioning plans. Switching an inspiration concept in the studio updates the estimate and visual world. A real change would require the entire specification to be reviewed.
