Terrafertil plays on the relationship between the workplace and physical environment. Between nature and health and how design can become a tool for wellness. Our design is inspired by the fluidity and materiality of our surroundings. The form found through organic efficiencies that could be represented in the space. The office composition was a mix of open and closed spaces that mimic the organic growth which one finds in nature. Wood forms that draped throughout the space were created to reminisce on nature’s organic growth and define space.

Aaron Leppanen can be considered a true representative of the creative industries. He is a designer, architect and an entrepreneur, and his work has been realised as museums, high-rises and custom made homes. With experience stretching not only countries, but continents, he has become a pioneer, and has developed a knack for using local materials, know-how and labour to innovate both in design and in process. One of his areas of focus is to create forms with parametric parameters and applying it to local construction settings, thereby turning limitations into strengths and opportunities. The creation of icons through form has, in particular, been a recurring aspect of Aaron’s work. His designs achieve the best of both worlds: he creatively challenges conventionality, while still achieving efficient functionality.
