Building Biodiversity is a nature-based design studio that works with the natural and living environment in everything from large-scale urban development projects to smaller private projects. Our design and expert services cover the landscape as a whole, including both built and undeveloped areas, in rural and urban settings.
Our versatile design team excels at urban, landscape, and interdisciplinary design projects, in which we seek to address environmental challenges with a constructive approach through a creative process.
Close teamwork, an extensive network of partners, and collaboration form the foundation of our work.
Based on data and focusing on a sensuous aesthetic, we monitor biodiversity throughout the entire process. Our mission is to connect communities to nature’s cycles, where humans become positive contributors to the world’s ecosystems—both globally and locally.
Each design is unique and site-specific. Through site surveys and baseline analyses, we develop a deep understanding of the site and its biological, natural, and social context.
By combining traditional techniques with the latest knowledge, our interdisciplinary team creates aesthetically pleasing, robust biodiversity and landscaping solutions that focus on human interaction and biodiversity.
Building Biodiversity was founded by gardener and landscape architect Morten Leicht. Morten has extensive experience in the design and implementation of nature-based solutions and has served as the lead planting specialist on both small and large nature-based design projects at all, which gives him a solid foundation in the construction and civil engineering industry as a green consultant.
