Landscape Architecture & Exterior Design Studio
Designer of Exceptional Gardens
Founder of the agency SIMONSON LANDSCAPE based in Paris, David Simonson is an American landscape architect, designer of gardens, hotels, parks and custom-made terraces. With his team, he creates gardens that transform your outdoor space into a livable outdoor space. Designed by passionate landscape gardeners and botanists, these ecological gardens combine aesthetic concern and vegetation to create natural and sensitive spaces, where contemporary environmental issues are taken into account. The choice of plants therefore plays an essential role in the landscape design work. We offer unique compositions of rustic plants, exotic plants, resistant plants and native plants to offer you original and unique atmospheres.
Our parks and gardens are evolutionary and allow time for the plants to settle, to anchor themselves to the ground, according to their requirements as an association of living beings belonging to nature. Eco-responsible, our projects and gardens are made in France and adapted to their environments.
Awards, Residencies & Competitions
Always in perpetual research, the landscape agency SIMONSON LANDSCAPE draws innovative gardens by their unprecedented associations of plants, original by their aesthetics and the use of a wide range of materials. Our participation in garden competitions allows us to freely express a renewed vision of gardens, in line with the demands of global warming.
We are proud to have received many awards, such as the Prize of the vegetable palette at the International Garden Festival of Chaumont-sur-Loire (41), the Audience Prize at the Festival de la Côte d'Azur at the Villa Rothschild in Cannes (06), and a Special Jury Prize from the European Garden Heritage Network (EGHN) with the Terres de Promesses garden for the Jardins de la Paix in Souain-Perthes-lès-Hurlus (51) (with Arts & Jardins Hauts-de-France).
