Architectural Consulting

We design bespoke, living underwater landscapes. Every aquarium is read together with its light, scale and architecture, and delivered end to end — from design to the final detail of installation.

What We Do

Architectural Consulting

An aquarium is not a piece of furniture; it is a system tied into the building. Everything that resolves cleanly at design stage becomes expensive once the fit-out is finished, which is why we prefer to join architects and interior designers early.

What we cover

  • Floor load. A filled aquarium places a substantial distributed load on the slab; installations above the residential design load need a structural review.
  • Technical volume. Where the filter, CO2 cylinder, heater and electrical work are concealed, and how they stay serviceable.
  • Water and drainage. A nearby supply point and drain turn water changes from a chore into a routine.
  • Lighting. Keeping aquarium lighting and room lighting from fighting each other, plus cable routes and switching.
  • Background and sightline. Where the tank is viewed from, and at what height, determines the composition.

Deliverable

A dimensioned placement proposal, technical-volume requirements and services notes, in a form that can be written straight into the architectural drawings.

What's Included

An end-to-end aquascape solution, from design to install

01

Concept & Style

We read the room's dimensions, light and architecture; the style follows from that.

02

Hardscape Composition

Stone and wood placement forms the skeleton of the composition — depth and line are set here.

03

Plant List

A species list drawn up for light intensity, growth rate and upkeep demand.

04

Lighting & CO2

PAR target, photoperiod and CO2 rate calculated for the volume of the tank.

05

Filtration & Commissioning

Filter flow rate, direction and the cycling period — balanced before any livestock goes in.

06

Maintenance Plan

A written schedule for water changes, dosing and trimming, handed over on delivery.

Our Process

From an idea to a balanced ecosystem

01

Consultation

We read the dimensions, light and architectural context; technical coordination with the architect begins here.

02

Concept Design

Style is chosen; hardscape composition and plant list are drawn up, lighting/CO2/filtration finalized.

03

Execution

Aquarium and cabinetry are built from UltraClear / AGC AZZURA optical glass with zero-silicone craft and installed on site.

04

Final Reveal

The cycling period and first maintenance schedule — tracked until the system stabilizes.
