A changing climate needs a different kind of home. Living Giving transforms homes and outdoor spaces into beautiful, ecological and climate-resilient environments — and makes sure the good reaches further than your own garden gate.
We imagine a future where homes don't exist separately from nature, but as part of it — spaces where people, plants and animals can all thrive.
Our homes can either be vulnerable to heat, drought, flooding, rising food costs and biodiversity loss — or designed to work with nature to better withstand them.
We start by assessing your space, then design and build the nature-based parts ourselves: indigenous, water-wise gardens, food-growing areas and habitat for wildlife. For technical systems like solar, rainwater harvesting and greywater, we connect you with trusted, certified specialists — and we come back to check that your ecosystem is thriving.
And because we believe resilience shouldn’t stop at the garden gate, every project gives back.
Personal
No off-the-shelf packages. Every design starts with your space, your goals and the way you live.
Nature first
We work with nature, not against it — so your space uses fewer resources and becomes more resilient over time.
Rooted in place
Indigenous plants, local conditions and South African realities — heat, drought and heavy rain included.
Generous
Part of our profits is reinvested into greener, more food-secure communities.
Giving isn’t an add-on at Living Giving — it’s part of how the business works. The projects we support include:
- Indigenous planting
- School food gardens
- Community food gardens
- Greener public spaces
Step 1
You transform your home
We design and build a living ecosystem around your home, and connect you with specialists for the technical systems.
Step 2
Part of our profits is reinvested
A portion of the profit from every project goes into community greening and food-garden projects.
Step 3
Communities become more resilient
Townships, schools and other vulnerable areas gain shade, food, biodiversity and resilience to heat, drought and flooding.
A new category of home service — at the very start.
Living Giving is just starting to trade. We combine a growing homeowner need — resilience against heat, drought and rising food costs — with a built-in community-impact model. If you’re interested in investing, partnering or supplying, let’s start a conversation.
