Our two most-loved consults

Architecture & Design — and the Green Apple property health check.

Two signature engagements people keep coming back for. Bring us your land, your villa, your half-built dream, or the napkin sketch — we'll tell you exactly what it wants to become.

Signature 01

Architecture & Design

For all property types — quintas, eco-villas, retreats, hostels, sanctuaries, micro-villages, jungle estates, suburban lots dreaming bigger. Site reads, masterplans, regenerative material palettes, biophilic flows, and the kind of details that make guests cry happy tears in the shower.

· Site read & sun / water / wind orientation
· Masterplan + phased build sequencing
· Material & vendor specs (regenerative-first)
· Guest-flow & sacred-geometry interior choreography

Signature 02 · Property health

Green Apple Certification™

Think of it as a wellness check-up — but for your land. We diagnose the soil, the structures, the energy, the EMFs, the water, the kitchen, the staff culture, and the vibe. You leave with a Green Apple score, a hilariously honest report card, and the exact prescription to make your place radiantly healthy.

· Soil, water & air diagnostic walk-through
· Build & materials non-toxicity audit
· Energetic + EMF + sleep-sanctuary scoring
· Final Green Apple grade with action plan

"An apple a day keeps the bad architecture away." 🍏
