A garden.
A season.
A way of life.

Mediterranean gardens, made to belong.
Designed with patience. Grown with time.

The most beautiful gardens
feel as though they were
always there.

I design private gardens along the Côte d’Azur and beyond. Each begins with the land itself: its light, its soil, the trees that have been here longer than we have.

Native planting, natural materials, and spaces for the everyday pleasure of being outside.

A practice in three parts
Observe01
We begin by walking the site together. We look at the way the light falls, where the water goes, and how you want to spend your time outside. The first drawing is always a careful act of listening.
Compose02
A considered palette of trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Paths that feel inevitable. Places to gather and places to be alone. Detailed plans developed with trusted local craftspeople.
Cultivate03
A garden is a living relationship. Seasonal guidance and thoughtful stewardship help it settle into the landscape and become more itself with each passing year.

Tell me a little about it. The best things usually start with a conversation.
