LANDSCAPE DESIGN

OUTDOOR SPACES CONNECTED TO PLACE

Our landscape design service creates outdoor environments that extend the architecture into the site. Climate, orientation, planting, circulation, hardscape and outdoor use are considered together to create spaces that feel natural, functional and connected to the wider project.

From site planning and planting design through hardscape, irrigation coordination and outdoor lighting, we develop landscapes suited to the Mediterranean climate and the way each space will be used throughout the year.

COMPLETE LANDSCAPE SUPPORT

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Landscape design combines planning, planting, materials and lighting to shape outdoor spaces that work as part of the architecture rather than as an afterthought.

01
Site Planning

Outdoor zones, circulation, access, orientation and connections to the building are organised into a coherent site strategy.

02
Planting Design

Planting palettes are developed around climate, character, maintenance, seasonal interest and the intended atmosphere of the landscape.

03
Hardscape Design

Paving, walls, terraces, steps, pool surrounds and other built landscape elements are coordinated with the architecture.

04
Outdoor Lighting

Landscape lighting is developed to improve atmosphere, circulation, orientation and the evening experience of outdoor spaces.

FROM SITE TO GARDEN

OUR PROCESS

01
Site & Lifestyle Review

We assess site conditions, climate, views, access, architecture and the intended use of the outdoor spaces.

→
02
Landscape Concept

Circulation, planting zones, terraces, focal points and outdoor functions are organised into a clear overall concept.

→
03
Planting & Detailing

Planting, paving, walls, lighting and other landscape elements are developed and coordinated in greater detail.

→
04
Technical Delivery

Final landscape drawings and design information support implementation, coordination and delivery of the outdoor environment.

LANDSCAPE EXPERTISE

DESIGNED FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN

Landscape design in Cyprus requires an understanding of heat, sunlight, water use, seasonal change and outdoor living. Our approach brings these conditions together with architecture and site character.

CLIMATE
Designed for sun and heat

Shade, orientation and planting are considered to improve the comfort and usability of exterior spaces.

PLANTING
Appropriate plant palettes

Species are considered around landscape character, climate suitability, maintenance and long-term growth.

HARDSCAPE
Architecture extended outdoors

Material choices and built landscape elements are coordinated with the architecture to create continuity between inside and outside.

EVENING USE
Outdoor spaces after dark

Landscape lighting supports safe movement, atmosphere and the visual character of the garden in the evening.

What does your landscape design service include?−
Landscape design includes site planning, planting design, hardscape design, outdoor lighting and coordination with the architecture.
When should landscape design begin?+
Landscape input is most effective when considered early enough to coordinate levels, access, terraces, planting zones and outdoor functions.
Do you design residential gardens?+
Yes. Private gardens, villas, apartment landscapes and residential developments can all be supported.
Do you work on commercial landscapes?+
Yes. Hospitality, commercial and shared outdoor environments can be developed according to their use and identity.
Can you redesign an existing garden?+
Yes. Existing gardens can be reorganised or refreshed to improve function, planting and overall character.
How are plants selected?−
Plant selection considers climate, sunlight, soil conditions, landscape character, maintenance and desired seasonal effect.
Do you use Mediterranean planting?+
Mediterranean and climate-appropriate species can form an important part of the planting strategy.
Can planting provide privacy?+
Yes. Planting can help screen views, soften boundaries and improve privacy where site conditions allow.
Can planting reduce heat around the house?+
Strategically placed vegetation and shade trees can contribute to improved outdoor comfort.
Do you consider how plants mature?+
Yes. Expected plant size, growth habit and long-term maintenance are important considerations in planting design.
What does hardscape design include?−
Hardscape can include terraces, paving, steps, walls, pool surrounds and other built outdoor elements.
Can hardscape materials match the architecture?+
Yes. Material coordination helps create a stronger relationship between the building and the surrounding landscape.
Do you design outdoor lighting?+
Yes. Outdoor lighting can be developed to support circulation, focal points, planting and atmosphere.
Can pool areas be incorporated into landscape design?+
Yes. Pool surrounds, terraces, planting and movement around the pool can be integrated into the overall landscape concept.
Can level changes be incorporated into the design?+
Yes. Steps, retaining elements and terraces can be used to organise sloping sites where appropriate.
How does the Cyprus climate affect landscape design?−
Sun exposure, heat, dry periods and water use all influence plant selection, shade strategy and outdoor-material choices.
Can landscapes be designed for lower maintenance?+
Yes. Plant selection, density, irrigation strategy and hardscape balance can help reduce maintenance requirements.
Do you consider irrigation?+
Irrigation requirements can be considered and coordinated as part of the planting strategy.
Can drought-tolerant plants be used?+
Yes. Drought-tolerant and climate-suitable planting can support lower water use and better long-term resilience.
Does landscape design change with season?+
Seasonal colour, flowering, foliage and shade can all be considered to create year-round interest.
What information do you need to begin landscape design?−
Site information, architectural drawings, outdoor-use requirements and any existing landscape conditions are useful starting points.
Can landscape design begin after the house design?+
Yes, although earlier coordination often creates better relationships between architecture, access, terraces and planting.
Can you work with an existing architect?+
Yes. Landscape design can be coordinated with an existing architectural team and wider consultants.
Can landscape design be developed around a budget?+
Yes. Material choices, planting maturity and project scope can be adjusted to suit realistic budget priorities.
How do I request a free consultation?+
Use the contact section below and provide the site and project details so the landscape requirements can be discussed.
