Outside, with intention.

Landscape design for the way you live.

GARDENS / COURTYARDS / OUTDOOR LIVING

A garden is a place to be. Not just a place to look at.

We compose landscapes around light, planting and the ordinary pleasures of being outside.

SELECTED LANDSCAPES

Every place, a different possibility.

Courtyard

The quiet courtyard

A clear route through a compact space, with a place to sit at the end of the day.

Planting

A garden through the seasons

A planting-led story, told through layers, changing color and the paths between them.

Outdoor living

Room for the long lunch

A table, some shade and a layout that leaves enough room for people to stay.

OUR PERSPECTIVE

Room for the unexpected.

The first coffee. A long lunch. The changing shape of a tree. A good garden gives everyday moments somewhere to happen.

We begin with your site and the way you use it, then find the balance between clear structure and living things.

STRUCTURE THAT HOLDS

PLANTING THAT CHANGES

FROM SITE TO SEASON

A clear plan. A living landscape.

Plotline is a landscape design practice for gardens, courtyards and outdoor living. Work can begin with an overall layout, a planting plan or the practical detail that connects the two.

Read the place.

Light, levels and daily life. We listen, walk the site and find what is worth keeping.

Shape the possibilities.

Routes, spaces and materials become a clear design you can understand and respond to.

Let it take root.

Planting plans and practical detail give the garden its structure, texture and future rhythm.
