Just a few kilometers from Rennes, this outdoor landscaping project perfectly illustrates a major trend: transforming one’s garden into a true living space that is at once aesthetically pleasing, well-structured, and exotic.
The goal here was clear: to create a warm atmosphere inspired by southern gardens, while respecting the Breton environment and everyday needs.
A Mediterranean atmosphere in the heart of Brittany
From the very beginning, the project focused on creating a sunny and welcoming atmosphere.
The idea was not to replicate a Mediterranean garden exactly, but to capture its spirit:
- a graphic plant palette
- warm materials
- open and inviting spaces
All perfectly adapted to the local context.
A combination of materials to structure the spaces
The choice of materials was crucial to the project’s success.
The combination of exotic wood and porcelain stoneware creates:
- an elegant contrast
- visual continuity between areas
- an atmosphere that is both modern and natural
These materials play a key role in defining the garden’s identity.
A pool designed as the centerpiece
At the heart of the design, the pool structures the entire project.
Designed as a lap pool, it provides:
- a strong line
- a clear definition of the space
- a true focal point
Constructed using Magnélis steel panels, it combines durability, performance, and aesthetics.
Surrounding it, various terraces have been created to expand its uses:
- reception area
- sunbathing area
- relaxation area
A garden with varying levels
To avoid an overly linear layout, work on the levels was incorporated from the design phase.
These variations allow for:
- structure the spaces
- to create depth
- add visual dynamism
They also contribute to a better organization of the garden, without creating barriers.
A plant palette inspired by the South
The choice of plants plays a central role in the project’s identity.
Notably, these include:
- olive trees
- palm trees
- Yucca rostrata
- cycads
- lavender
This plant arrangement immediately evokes a sense of escape, while maintaining a cohesive landscape design.
A project designed to be lived in
Beyond aesthetics, every element has been designed for everyday life.
The pathways have been carefully designed to:
- facilitate movement
- naturally connect spaces
- enhance user comfort
The result: a fluid, pleasant, and functional garden.
A design true to the final result
As with every Creogarden project, it all began with a 3D landscape design.
This step allowed us to:
- visualize the entire project
- validate the layout choices
- anticipate volumes and uses
The implementation, carried out by a partner landscape architect, was then faithful to this design.
A second phase to complete the project
This project doesn’t stop there.
A second phase is planned, including:
- the development of the entrance
- the creation of a pétanque court
These additions will enhance the welcoming atmosphere and complete this outdoor living space.
Conclusion
This project, carried out in the Rennes area, perfectly illustrates the importance of a holistic design approach.
By combining inspiration, materials, layout, and 3D rendering, it is possible to transform a standard outdoor space into a true living area.
With Creogarden, every project is thought through as a whole to create spaces that are aesthetic, functional, and sustainable.
