I work at the intersection of design, horticulture, culture, and systems—helping people and institutions think clearly, act deliberately, and create lasting impact.

Christophe Ponceau is the co-founder of Rue du Repos, a landscape architecture practice based in Paris.  His portfolio is a rich mix of interesting projects that include civic, residential and even some hospitality.   This particular garden is at an old farmhouse that was converted into a second home.  There are 3 hectares of vineyards and fields. I personally enjoy the rustic nature of the place and how there was a resistance to over planting and ruining the spare serenity that naturally exists.
