This group contains the gardens I have designed that don't conform to any pre-ordained set of landscaping rules, excepting (of course) aesthetics and imagination.

 

Inspired by a mixture of Mediterranean and Japanese themes this garden centres around a terrace (representing an island or a man), sitting in the middle of the sea/the world (symbolised by the gravel) onto which some rocks (symbolising thought) have been scattered… The abundant plant-life includes an assortment of Mediterranean and Far-Eastern species.


Contemporary city garden
(work in progress)

A garden for a listed villa (dating from the Art Nouveau era),
designed to complement the building's architecture and
drawing inspiration from the colours in its windows.


This modern, ephemeral work depicts the dreams and worries
of the plant world, faced with an uncertain future.


This small, contemporary garden is inspired by the riads of
Morocco. A swathe of blue Agapanthus running through
its centre represents the freshness and fluidity of water.


In this combination of two styles that are complementary,
despite their apparent differences, unusual, original forms are
united to create a complex, vibrant garden.


In this modern garden the presence of running water and tall
grasses creates a peaceful atmosphere, encouraging rest and
meditation.


This unconventional, small, 'dry' garden is ideal for
city-dwellers. The centrepiece - a giant, zinc watering can
- is framed by an array of plant-life.


In this garden, incorporating ideas from the Mediterranean
and Brittany, streams of Agapanthus and box trees weave
around islands of soft grasses.


What child hasn't played pirates, protecting their secret
treasure trove? With its very own treasure island, this verdant
garden will stimulate your little ones' imaginations.


Where does order begin? What is chaos?
Does our desire to create an ordered environment not stem
from a fundamental, planet-wide sense of chaos?


This wooden terrace's contemporary design makes it the
ideal spot for a romantic dinner or a small business meeting,
overlooking the sea.


Compensate for the lack of light of this part of the garden
with an explosion of colors from the arrival of the spring.
After the lively pink bloom of azaleas, lively orange geum
will relieve by joining to the yellow of carex.
