From a very early age, he created terrariums, aquatic environments and other self-sustaining living systems, not only out of aesthetic interest but because he wanted to understand how their spaces would influence the human experience.
One theme remained constant throughout: a curiosity about what made a place feel alive and how those spaces, in turn, shaped the people within them.
Naturescapers.Studio represents the natural progress of that journey, a design practice rooted in their accumulated experience of how space, nature and human response interrelate.
Founder of Outey Gardens, a landscaping project he created over seven years ago with the mission to bring people back to nature.
Pitou combines Balinese garden aesthetics with traditional Khmer culture to deliver a unique garden experience here in Cambodia. He attributes the quality of his work to both his dedication and creativity but also to techniques he has honed over years of hands-on work with his land.
He believes Cambodians have lost touch with gardening and farming and hopes his efforts will inspire younger generations to rediscover such values.
Naturescapers Studio is a full-service biophilic design and build practice — we design, install, and maintain nature-integrated spaces from concept through to completion.
We work at the intersection of architecture, horticulture, environmental psychology, and spatial design — creating environments that perform as well as they look.
Our clients range from private homeowners and boutique hospitality brands to commercial developers and large-scale public projects.
Biophilic design is the practice of integrating nature — plants, water, natural light, organic materials, and living systems — into built environments. The goal is not decoration but performance: spaces designed to reduce stress, improve focus, and increase occupant well-being based on how humans are biologically wired to respond to nature.
Yes. We have studios in Phnom Penh, Mexico City, and New Jersey. We take on projects internationally and can conduct assessments remotely for projects in locations we do not have a physical presence. Contact us to discuss your project location.
We work across a wide range of scales — from private residences and boutique offices to large hospitality properties and commercial developments. We typically engage on projects with a design budget starting from $10,000.
Absolutely. We regularly work alongside architects, interior designers, and project managers as a specialist biophilic consultant. We can integrate our work into any stage of a project — from early concept through to completion.
Project timelines vary significantly by scope. A residential biophilic consultation and design can be completed in 4–8 weeks. Larger commercial or hospitality projects typically run 3–9 months from assessment to handover. We provide a clear timeline at the start of every project.
The assessment is a 60–90 minute session — remote or on-site — in which we analyse your current environment and identify what is working against your well-being and spatial performance. You receive a written summary with 3–5 high-impact recommendations and a clear direction for implementation. There is no obligation to proceed with a full project.
Yes. For projects involving living systems — plants, water features, green walls — we offer ongoing care and maintenance programmes. Every project includes a detailed handover care plan, and we can provide scheduled maintenance visits on request.
