Côte d'Opale

The Côte d’Opale provides hazy spring evening views of grain fields and undulating pastures against the backdrop of the English Channel and the North Sea. Describing the distinctive quality of its light, the painter Édouard Lévêque coined the name Côte d’Opale for this area in 1911.

Landschappelijke beplanting paardenhouderij Liemers

For an equestrian facility in the Liemers region, I developed a landscape planting design that responds to the area’s characteristic landscape structure and ongoing developments in the surrounding context. The principal challenge was to embed the site-specific layout, tailored to the needs of the horses, within the broader landscape framework. Shown here is part of the technical elaboration of the design.

Leve de Tuin Festival 2026

Together with fellow garden and landscape design students, I was invited by Hogeschool Van Hall Larenstein to host a series of rapid-fire design sessions during the Leve de Tuin Festival . Over two lively days, visitors arrived with ideas, ambitions, and sketches of their own, which we translated into quick spatial concepts, planting suggestions, and hand-drawn impressions on the spot. The exchange of stories, wishes, and site-specific challenges produced a table full of drawings and new connections for future commissions and above all a great deal of inspiration for my growing design practice.

ProMarker is currently my favourite drawing tool, mainly due to its rich colour impact. Dealing with its high flow is still a challenge for me, and bleedproof paper is essential.

Delphinium

The depth of the flower colour of this Delphinium califonicum is out of this world. Although it is rather late to take cuttings, I will certainly attempt propagating this plant by seed.
