Why create a 2D or 3D plan before the work?
Before any work begins, a detailed garden plan is the key to a successful project.
It allows for the visualisation of volumes, anticipating technical constraints, and ensuring perfect coordination between the various stakeholders.
A plan is the graphic representation of your future garden: it structures the space, defines the living areas, the pathways, the terraces, the flower beds, and the water features.
It helps to make concrete decisions about:
- The exact dimensions of the surfaces,
- The choice of materials and textures,
- The planting of trees and plantations,
- Sunlight and cast shadows,
- The drainage and the ground levels.
With a clear and comprehensive plan, you avoid approximations and gain in coherence, budget, and peace of mind.
From survey to immersive 3D rendering
Our landscape architect office relies on a rigorous methodology and professional tools to bring your ideas to life even before the work begins.
-
Site survey and analysis
We begin with precise measurements, photographs, and a study of the topography.
This stage allows for the faithful integration of the house, the land, the slopes, and the access points into the modelling. -
Detailed 2D Plans
The 2D plans (site plans, layout diagrams, technical networks) serve as the foundation for the project.
They define the areas, functional zones, levels, materials, and vegetation. -
Photorealistic 3D Renderings
We then create an immersive 3D model, which allows for a virtual stroll through the future garden.
This visualisation helps to adjust the volumes, textures, and lighting, for a result true to reality. -
Variants and adjustments
Several versions can be proposed to compare options for materials, shapes, or plant palettes.
Each 3D image is a decision-making tool: it projects the client into their future space, while serving as a technical reference for craftsmen and contractors.
Technical and quantitative plans for execution
Once the concept is validated, our team establishes the execution plans:
- Planting plan with the exact locations of the species, their distances and proportions.
- Level and elevation plans for earthworks.
- Structural plans (edgings, low walls, stairs, drains).
- Lighting and irrigation plans.
These documents are used to accurately estimate the work and to ensure faithful implementation of the approved project.
Each plan is accompanied by legends, measurements, and nomenclatures, in order to ensure clarity between the designer and the site.
Software and expertise of our studio
Our design studio works with professional software such as AutoCAD, SketchUp, Lumion, and Twinmotion, allowing for a combination of technical precision and artistic rendering.
These tools allow us to:
- Generate precise plans to the nearest centimetre,
- Create realistic perspectives with natural light effects,
- Produce video animations and 360° renders,
- Simulate plant growth and seasonal variations.
This level of detail provides an immediate understanding of the project and facilitates validation before work begins.
