🌿 End of a project on the Arcachon Bay

SEPTEMBER 2nd, 2024

After two months of work and a few weeks of growth for the lawn and plants, here is a picture that sums up this seaside garden.

The lawn will be drought-resistant and will require about 5 times less water than a conventional lawn, and the planting, once well established, will require only little water and in a few years, no more automatic watering except for long heat waves.

Thanks to the clients and the architect for their trust.

The autumn is full of beautiful projects in Bordeaux and its surroundings, some gardens are getting ready for total revamp!

New building site on the Arcachon Bay

JuLY 2nd, 2024

This particular garden within walking distance to the seaside stands out for the strong choice made for the house painted in black.

The bright colors of the plants will be highlighted by the contrast with black.

I finished the design work a few months ago and the project started a month ago.

The road and fencing work are completed : Planting work is on the way!

🌿 Work completed

June 1st, 2024

After a few months of construction work, this vineyard is also a place of reception and visit.

Finally finished, we can see the lawn taking shapes and giving life to all the shapes I drew about a year ago.

Wishing the best to this garden!

🌿 Today I am 7 years old! The age of reason? 🌷

February 1st, 2024

I created Centaurea Design with the desire to combine my first life as an agricultural engineer (Thank you Bordeaux Agro Sup) and my new life as a landscape designer (thank you London College of Garden Design) to give shape to gardens WELL ALIVE where nature is really welcome.

I’m starting this eighth year with lots of ideas and exciting projects! 💪.
