Sketch design and Masterplan
Sketch design and Masterplan
With your needs and requests as the foundation, we outline a unique and sensitive proposal. We structure the space using the diagnosis elements, design the use cases and suggests different plant combinations (ambiances végétales). Maintenance constraints are build in from the early design stages.
The first iteration allows us to agree the key artistic and design elements of the project, the sketch design (esquisse). The second iteration finalises the project into a masterplan (avant projet), where every element is defined.
Deliverables : Sketches, preliminary plan, atmospheric photos, masterplan, plant palette (colors, flowers, textures and seasons).

We translate the different spaces and atmospheres of the masterplan into technical documents necessary for the contractors : metered plans, plantation schemes, construction details (steps, walls…), material specifications. We prepare the tender documents (Dossier de consultation des entreprise - DCE) , so that contractors can understand precisely the work to be done, and return relevant quotes to us.

If you wish, you can delegate to us the planning, supervision and validation of the works. We control the quality and compliance of the construction and plantations to the agreed upon design. We manage the unexpected events that always occur during works. You retain the contractors to execute the work, we assist you in the process.
