Art + Nature + Science

The formula that makes CCS. The full story →

The eye

Art

Every build is composed by hand, like a one-of-one artwork. That eye can't be bought off a shelf.

The point

Nature

We don't imitate nature. We house it. A living ecosystem that grows richer every month.

The backbone

Science

Light, water and life held in measured balance: why our builds thrive where others fade.

My boys and I recently attended the crab nano paludarium workshop at Chai Chee Safari, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience!… What really stood out was the excellent aftersales support.

A wonderful experience with Edwin, our instructor. He is very knowledgeable… open to share all knowledge, to build and maintain the terrarium we build. We were super satisfied with ours… We will definitely be back to do more, and bring more friends.
