Projects
These are family homes, and we respect the boundaries each family sets: some we don’t publish at all, others we show as they were designed.

A Family Villa on Saadiyat, Abu Dhabi
A European family on Saadiyat wanted a garden they would actually use in the Gulf heat: a majlis for the adults, a shaded corner where the children can play, a table for guests, and always somewhere cool to sit.

A Family Garden on a Hillside, Prague
A family with a five-year-old and a university student wanted two things from one plot: a quiet Japanese garden to be on their own in, and room for a houseful of guests around a pool. The slope, cut into terraces, keeps the two apart.

Evenings in a Garden of Scents, Akmanai
Evenings in the gazebo, roses along the walks, and the scent of lavender and thyme coming in through the open windows. For ten years the garden has grown with the family, one bed at a time, across 3,000 m² on a gentle slope.

Nine Years of a Garden, Akmanai
Lawns to walk on, a hanging chair by the stone wall, the pavilion by the terrace — and a garden that keeps its shape all year, its red dogwood stems standing against the snow. Nine years on, it looks the way it was drawn.

A New House in an Old Garden, Ufa
The owners built a new house and wanted a place to come back to from the city: a gazebo with a barbecue at the heart of the garden, a sauna and a tidy kitchen garden, and privacy from neighbours who live close by.

A Quiet Garden on 700 m², Shmidtovo
Busy, sociable people wanted the opposite at home: a quiet garden to come back to, with a lawn under the old pines and a brick barbecue pavilion. They built it themselves from our drawings, and chose the hydrangeas and clematis on their own.

Among the Birches, Southern Urals
Morning coffee on the veranda, the sauna in the evening, friends around a fire — on a plot of mature birches the owners wanted to keep as a wood. The first stage is built: the paths from the terrace already give the garden its shape.
