Heartwood Properties, a 4AX listed commercial development company, has partnered with renowned landscape artist and sculptor, Strijdom van der Merwe, to transform the outdoor space of a popular office block, Willow Wood, in Fourways, Gauteng.

Van der Merwe is famous for his installations using nature as his core theme using only the natural materials found on site, from wood and rock to sand and stone. At the forefront of environmentalism in art, van der Merwe creates work that resonates with the meditative quiet that one finds in the natural world. His goal for Willow Wood is to highlight the fragile balance between human existence and nature giving employees the opportunity to take a break from their busy day and just breathe.
