Practice

Paul Deroose Landscape Architects is a design firm for garden and landscape architecture specialized in high-quality designs based on the intrinsic qualities of the site in relation to the surrounding landscape and architecture.

Based on the profile of the client and the program, essence and sustainability are sought. Any kind of formalism is avoided.

The time dimension and sustainability are essential elements of the discipline.

The realized projects are situated in both landscape areas and urban environments, in public spaces and private gardens, in the wide range of environmental design for public buildings, offices, schools, hospitals and group homes. Wherever possible, we collaborate with urban designers and architects from the start of a project to achieve optimum results.
