Walled urban garden
A compact space, often enclosed by the walls of neighbours, where every square metre counts. Here, design revolves around managing light, sightlines, and verticality. Very common in Uccle, Ixelles, or the city centre of Brabant Wallon.

Villa garden
A generous residential garden, where the space allows for multiple zones and real perspectives. The challenge is not the space — it is to organise this space so that it is readable and harmonious. Characteristic of Lasne, Rixensart, La Hulpe, or Tervuren.

Penthouse terrace
A raised terrace, very exposed to wind, sun, and sometimes early frost. Designing this space means solving a technical equation before imagining an atmosphere. Common configurations on Avenue Louise or in the European quarter of Brussels.

Corporate garden
An outdoor space that must serve three objectives: brand image, employee well-being, and long-term maintenance. From SMEs to headquarters, in Brabant Wallon as well as in Brussels.

Park and large landscaped garden
A large garden that is no longer conceived at the scale of a plot but of a landscape. We work on masses, visual axes, and the dialogue with the environment. Present in the beautiful properties of Lasne, La Hulpe, Genval, or Court-Saint-Étienne.

Terrace – house or flat
An outdoor space in its own right — often the most used room of the home in summer. To be treated as a true extension of the house, not as an accessory. Very common in Brussels houses and recent apartments in Brabant Wallon.

Front garden & house access (private parking)
The space that is often neglected — while it is your first impression every morning, and that of your visitors. It must reconcile parking, pedestrian access, rubbish passage, and visual protection from the street.

Parking and professional surroundings
Functional spaces that can — and must — also become landscaped. A company parking lot is no longer just a concrete slab: it contributes to the image, biodiversity, and stormwater management, increasingly required by municipalities.

Have you identified your type of garden?
Excellent. You now know the physical context of your project — its nature, its constraints, its possibilities.
Let's move on to the uses : how do you want to experience this space on a daily basis? This question conditions all the choices that follow.
