garden

Janenlies’ design draws from nature’s mathematical precision and Caravaggio’s chiaroscuro—layering light over shadow. The front-page image embodies this philosophy, with highlights emerging from depth, much like their gardens, where bold botanical features stand out against rich, layered plantings. A testament to how contrast shapes beauty, in landscapes as in art.

The garden of Jan en Lies themselves

janenlies. tuin en landschap.

Is a team of garden designers dedicated to creating landscapes that thrive across lifetimes.

From the mathematical elegance of Fibonacci patterns to the clever design of leaves, garden design studio Janenlies discovers inspiration in nature's perfect engineering.

Breaking from a norm, they think in generations, not seasons. Seeing gardens as living stories unfolding over decades, embracing nature's wisdom that balance comes through diversity and that decay always creates space for renewal.

Janenlies designs spaces where every element has both purpose and meaning. Their work is about thoughtful ecosystems that evolve and transform. Designing with nature's intelligence, creating landscapes that grow more beautiful and complex over time.

Their vision brings harmony back to our surroundings—not by imposing order, but by revealing the inherent balance that exists when we listen to what the natural world has been teaching us all along.

info

The studio began with two architects who saw gardens as living art, and now continues through their children. For generations, this family has created landscapes that blend architectural precision with botanical poetry.

The approach selects materials that age gracefully and arranges plants as characters in a story. Through patient observation and creative imagination, making spaces where people rediscover a connection to the natural world.

The studio is currently engaging with select new projects. For conversations about their distinct temporal approach to landscape architecture or to explore their portfolio of ecological narratives, reach out directly.
