Founders Note.

“Born from struggle. Built on steel. Driven by purpose”.

At Project ShapeWay, we don’t just shape landscapes—we shape lives.

Founded by Gerardus Boerlage, a serial entrepreneur and landscape builder with decades of hands-on experience, Project ShapeWay is more than a company. It’s a mission to bring practical solutions, resilient design, and real-world wisdom to people and communities doing it tough.

Gerry’s journey isn’t polished, it’s forged in storms. He’s led multi-million-dollar steel fabrication projects, pioneered industry-first garden systems for rooftops and urban spaces, and designed resilient infrastructure that still stands today. But he’s also faced devastating personal losses, battled addiction, endured betrayal, and rebuilt from the wreckage, again and again.

From living in a caravan to creating tsunami-proof housing and self-sustaining green systems, Gerry now uses his experience to help others build something better from the ground up.

Whether you’re a homeowner, trade, or someone with a question —I’m here.
