Two specialties
Pick your world.
Aquascape underwater, or a slice of jungle on land: both designed and built by the studio, end to end.
Why commission
You're not buying a tank. You're commissioning an artist
Every commission is where art meets science: composed like an artwork, and kept alive by deep knowledge of the system and the life inside it.
The artist's eye
Composed, not assembled
- Composition, depth, proportion, and taste
- A one-of-one commission that can never be replicated
The expert's hand
Engineered to truly live
- Engineering: equipment & automation, matched for compatibility
- Biology: plants, animals, and the water chemistry that affects every life form inside
A statement feature
Made for your space alone
- Built with your space in mind: style, structure, surroundings
- A centrepiece that looks like it always belonged

What you receive
More than a tank: a finished world
Here's what actually arrives in your home, and what stays with you after.
A finished commission, at home
-
01
A design made around your space
Where you'll see it from, the light it gets, the mood you're after: we design to that, and you approve everything before we build.
-
02
The craft
Tank, hardscape and planting brought together by hand: nothing flat-packed, nothing off a shelf.
-
03
The right equipment
Every build runs on its own quiet life-support, chosen for that build.
-
04
We stay with it
Settling-in visits after handover, the CCS Living Guarantee where it applies, and aftercare, if you'd like us to keep tending it. The guarantee takes effect on a signed build agreement: read exactly what it covers →

- BizSAFE Level 3 certified
In their words
Rated 5.0 by 230+ on Google
A very satisfying and pleasing piece of work… the attention to details are amazing.
CCS did a great job designing my paludarium. They were attentive to details and executed our ideas perfectly. The end result is a stunning feature in my living room.
This is hands down one of the best terrariums and paludariums scaping services. The staffs there is super friendly and attentive. So knowledgeable that they cleared whatever questions I had about scaping and plants!
Good to know
Commission questions, answered
What is a CCS Commission?+
A one-of-a-kind living ecosystem (an aquascape, vivarium or paludarium) designed and built from nothing around your space, by hand. Part precision-engineered living system, part one-of-one artwork.
How does the commission process work?+
Four steps: a consult about your space and idea, a clear, honest quote, the build and on-site installation cycled to a thriving state, and settling-in support after handover, with the CCS Living Guarantee where it applies.
How much does a commission cost?+
Every commission is quoted individually to your space, scale and the life inside it, bespoke by design. Starting prices for each format live on the Aquascape and Vivarium & Paludarium pages, and our ready-to-order Signatures line offers fixed-price pieces.
Do you provide the animals?+
We set the habitat up so livestock can thrive and advise honestly on what to keep, but animals aren't included. You add your own once the system is established.
Do you build for offices, hotels and F&B spaces?+
Yes. We design zoo-grade, large-scale structural installations for corporate offices, luxury retail, hotels and public showcases, handled end-to-end including engineering, concealed life-support and scheduled maintenance.
