John Lim

John Lim is the founder and creative director of This Humid House, a botanical design studio created in Singapore in 2017. Though trained as an architect, he interweaves different disciplines in his work, using plants and flowers to tell stories in all sorts of projects, from ephemeral installations to landscape design.

Lim and his team have created botanical installations for cultural institutions, museums and design festivals around the world. The studio juggles commercial and experimental jobs with teaching workshops and actively explores new formats, most recently performance.

This Humid House won first prize at FLORA 2024. In 2025, they were invited to participate in the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London.
