Project

Houseplant Shop, Hospital & Workshop

Client

Hilda

We collaborated with Rosanna, founder of the UK’s first Houseplant Hospital, to transform a Ferry Road unit into a vibrant hub for Edinburgh’s plant community.

A bold electric blue shopfront creates instant street presence, while calm, light interiors allow the plants to take centre stage. The layout flows through a central ‘Plant Portal’, leading customers from retail into the dedicated workshop and hospital spaces.

The result is a welcoming, multi-use space that blends retail, education, and plant care — positioning Hilda as a true community destination.
