Stefan Morael
My passion: designing contemporary gardens for modern houses and creating green spaces for old and distinctive buildings. I also devise practical outdoor spaces for shops and offices, bring surprising meaning to city gardens and ensure terraces are used to their maximum potential.
I focus on adapting outside spaces to their surroundings and users’ needs. At times this means designs based on emphasising contrast, at others a search for harmony. New gardens are given a chance to blossom, old gardens blossom anew.
The real beauty of landscape and garden architecture resides in the evolution that every project will go through. The result of the design process is only the beginning. However exciting it is to see a newly realized project, what thrills me the most is knowing how it will look in twenty years time.
