habitat by canvas was born from the idea that the building industry can do better - for the people and planet.

Current building practices in the residential and commercial industries utilise materials in which have a negative impact on the planet, tradesmen, and in turn, the individuals living and working in these spaces. Today’s building industry is driven by the prevailing mindset of “more for less”, with limited to no consideration of the materials, design or impact on the planet.

What if we went back to nature?

Building your habitat, whether office or home, should be done the way mother nature intended. By implementing building science principles, habitat by canvas aims to increase energy efficiency, reduce volatile organic compounds, improve air quality, and choosing better building materials. Our re-connection with mother nature doesn’t stop there. We recognise our surroundings have a significant impact , not only on our physical health, but our mental wellbeing. This underscores the importance not only on reducing our carbon footprint and improved air quality, but also, utilising design to reconnect with nature and scientifically increase the sense of well-being in the built environment.

Together we can build a better, healthier future, backed by science.

Healthy homes start here.
