Let me show you two gardens. One of the most spectacular gardens in the world is the garden of Palace of Versailles.

Throughout human history, there have been many turning points. Moments that inspired awe, but also fear. The development of artificial intelligence today feels unprecedented.

There was a time when a tulip was worth more than a house. Not because it was botanically exceptional.

When we met, gardens didn’t interest me. They could simply be a place to read in the shade, and that was enough.

Most mistakes in gardens result from the lack of a coherent concept and decisions made without reference to the whole. Individual elements function independently and fail to create a unified structure.

An old proverb says that the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best is today.

“Beauty does not lie in the object we look at, but in our eyes.” — Jean-René Huguenin

A good design organizes both space and its use. It introduces a clear structure in which every element has its place and purpose.

The design process consists of consecutive stages that organize decisions and bring clarity to the entire workflow.

The first conversation is the starting point of the entire design process. It defines the direction of work and the way we think about the space.

The garden functions as a space of experience, shaped by movement, light, and time. Design is not only about arranging elements, but also about how one moves through and pauses within the space.

Garden design begins with an analysis of the relationship between interior and surroundings. The starting point is the act of looking — how space is perceived in everyday life.
