HANS JOHANSEN     DESIGN & CREATION

Welcome to hjohansen.com.au

Design and Creation based on Your Resources

Hans is a versatile designer. He enjoys creating designs at many scales - from linking the broader context to create intimate spaces - first of all manifesting creations that enrich you with a sense of place.

He is not afraid of getting his hands dirty either, following designs through with final touch and creation on site.

He is also happy to cocreate with you....


 

APPROACH 

Garden and landscape designs etc. does not need to be lengthy documentations (sitting in a drawer or waiting years for a feature plant to make impact), though it has its place occasionally.


In my approach, I ensure quick results while holding the vision for long term opportunities. I enjoy creating and integrating available resources in the broadest meaning.  And I am geared to co-create or manifest together with you subject to needs.


While I have a signature design approach, that can be seen at my studio and land lab in Daylesford, I am always open for the context and your needs and available resources.



THEMES

Gabion Basket Structures

Ten examples are showcased at my land lab. All are unique with multiple functions. I.e. the gateway wall integrate mailbox and areas for bins in coherent structure. The beautiful curves of the fruit tunnel encapsulate an oasis in the native forest setting - yet it is super practical and functional 



Food Forests

This method of food production thrives in residential settings and can take various forms, offering resilience and low maintenance.



Outdoor Living Spaces

These landscapes blend enjoyment with productivity, incorporating gardens and structures that serve multiple functions.



Accessibility

Effective access and connectivity are essential for functionality. This perspective is informed by my studies in urban design and permaculture design.
