IRINA ROJDESTVENSKAYA

My name is Irina Rojdestvenskaya and I am a landscape architect with a 10+ years of experience in designing and building private and public gardens.

I believe the mission of a great landscape is to give the sense of holistic wellbeing and calmness, the sense of home.

External beauty of a landscape is to be built around the core which are logic and pragmatic approach. And I constantly keep in mind the function and purpose of the future garden while analyzing unique requirements of every client. This helps to create a harmonized 3-D landscape that feels like the place to be. My goal is to understand the function and the essence of a garden that the client has in their mind and blend them properly with beauty and design so that they act as whole system.

Fashion, designing technics and construction practices are constantly evolving so I am a passionate learner and never stop educating myself to be able to offer the best to my clients.
