SHISO STUDIO
Inspired by the intricate flavor complexities of the Shiso plant, Shiso Studio is a multi-disciplinary design studio where plants are our medium. We specialize in generating new ways to experience plants in contemporary culture through sensory experience.

What does this mean?

This means that Shiso Studio works across the fields of Landscape Architecture, Spatial Design, and Event Planning/Design to generate works by telling stories that expand people’s understanding + experience of nature.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Shiso Studio will work with you to develop holistic landscape strategies ranging from initial concept development to annual plant maintenance schemes. Our focus is to develop landscapes at varying scales that work with sustainable planting principles, highlighting the beauty of nature throughout the season, and evoking the senses.
