Listening to you
The birth of a garden is based on several combinations between a plot of land, his owner and my knowledge.
The identity of the site by its location, its exposure and the nature of its soil will dictate the initial frame.
Then the customer’s personality, his desires, his imagination of the garden will infuse a rhythm. Is this a showcase place? A space to walk, dream and rest? A laboratory for enlightened amateur, or the reflection of collector soul?
The understanding of these different components, enriched by my sensitive approach of the site, will allow to assemble the living and the inert in a common becoming. A garden is based on the delicate balance between full and empty, the play of water and stone, shade and light, cameo of green punctuated with colors.
Thus is how each and every one of my gardens develops its own personality, in a uniqueness which paints the picture of its owner.
A sensitive approach
The quality of our work is based on the value of our in-depth research. I wanted a “laboratory of ideas”, a proactive process systematically incorporating a sustainable projection. It’s an approach to landscaping that encompasses the specificities of each site:
– The nearby and distant environment
– The topography
– The climate and in particular its orientation which triggers microclimates
– Edaphic factors (the soil and its physicochemical characteristics)
– Flora and fauna
We are committed to a sustainable development approach, proposing the use of plants adapted to drought, alternatives to turf and adapted cultivation methods that consider the specific characteristics of the flora and the site.
Water management is a key issue in our projects. We pay particular attention to limiting watering, which is all the more important in the face of increasing drought. We use plant-based water treatment and decontamination systems, such as phyto-purification and landscape drainage channel. Similarly, rainwater harvesting is a solution adapted to increasingly frequent Mediterranean episodes.
We ardently defend practices that respect our fragile ecosystem, to allow nature and man to coexist in harmony.
In order to ensure the long-term future of the landscape, we are looking for a match between the project and the human resources that will be made available for the upkeep of these areas. We prefer to work with local companies.
The Mediterranean
A land of expression, with its springs, its aridity, its seasons, its unique biodiversity and its mild climate, the Côte d’Azur offers plants a magnificent territory in which to express extraordinary gardens.
For 25 years, our studio has specialized in understanding and transforming the landscapes of the Mediterranean, where the environmental challenges are many and complex. Our team has acquired in-depth knowledge of the specific climatic, geological and ecological features of the region. We understand the subtle nuances that characterize Mediterranean landscapes, from rocky coasts to arid hills, fertile valleys and the plants that flourish in them.
