Gardens

Every space holds a garden waiting to emerge.

From a single balcony to a central courtyard, each space asks for different plants, different care and a different approach. We design for the conditions of the place - and for the life that will be lived there.

Our approach

Every space is different. Every garden is different.

We begin not with a style or a formula, but with the conditions of the place - its light, its climate, its architecture, and the life that will be lived there.

From a single balcony to a central courtyard, the same principles apply. Only the scale changes.

We design for the conditions of the place - and for the life that will be lived there.

Ten garden types

Each space has its own light, its own rhythm, its own potential.

Balcony Garden

A few square feet of open air, transformed into a green retreat. The right plants, the right pots, the right light - and a small space becomes somewhere you want to sit.

What we consider

  • Wind exposure at height
  • Direct sunlight hours
  • Balcony load limits
  • Water drainage

What it becomes

What begins as a few pots grows into a layered, personal green space that changes with the seasons.

Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.

An important high-rise rule

Before installing large pots or trees on a high-rise balcony, we always assess wind exposure, direct sunlight, balcony load limits, drainage and water runoff. High-rise balconies can have much stronger wind and heat than ground-level gardens, and the right preparation makes all the difference.
