The design office

The complete design phase generally takes 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the surface area and complexity of the project. It includes the on-site visit, the intent sketch, the technical execution plans and the final presentation. For large-scale projects (large estates, difficult terrain, advanced architectural integration), allow up to 12 weeks.

Our first meeting always takes place on your property and lasts about an hour. It allows us to listen to your expectations, your way of life on site, and lay the foundations of a project that fits, anchored in your site. This is a free, no-commitment step offered by MR Paysage.

At the end of the design phase, you receive the complete file required for construction: intent sketch, dimensioned site plan, technical drawings (irrigation, masonry, lighting if applicable), hand-drawn perspectives and a detailed quote. The exact content is adjusted to each project, some documents being unnecessary depending on the nature of the garden.

Yes. Our design file is detailed enough to be entrusted to another landscape contractor of your choice. However, most of our clients entrust us with the entire construction: continuity between the design and the execution team guarantees the result’s consistency with the initial vision.

Both. We often work in direct collaboration with an architect on new villa projects or major renovations, to think interior and exterior in the same coherence. On pure garden projects, we work autonomously, in dialogue with the owner.

Hand drawing is our signature and a substantive approach. It makes the design more human, more alive, and more shareable than cold 3D renderings. The client projects themselves into their future garden through these immersive and sensitive views, and each drawing documents an intention that the technical drawings then refine.
