A landscape architect looks beyond individual plants, paving, or patios. A strong design unites the home, garden, and surroundings into a single cohesive whole. This creates an outdoor space that not only looks beautiful but also feels intuitive. Every line of sight, choice of material, and shape contributes to a design that aligns with your lifestyle and enhances the quality of your home.

Your lifestyle is the starting point
A garden only becomes meaningful when it resonates with the people who use it. That’s why every design begins with your wishes, habits, and lifestyle. Building on that foundation, we create an outdoor space that not only complements the home’s architecture but also reflects how you experience the garden every day. This gives the design a personal character that goes beyond trends or standard solutions.
A strong design starts with a clear vision
The most beautiful gardens don’t arise from isolated ideas, but from a well-thought-out plan. That’s why a landscape architect examines the entire property and its relationship with the home. Based on that analysis, a design emerges in which all elements reinforce one another. This gives the outdoor space more tranquility, cohesion, and character, and establishes a clear direction for the garden’s future development.
More than just a layout
A landscape architect does more than just decide where to place a patio or path. Sightlines, elevation changes, material selection, and plantings also play a key role. This results in a garden where every choice serves a clear purpose. The result feels balanced and retains its quality for years to come. It is precisely the combination of these elements that ultimately determines how the outdoor space is experienced.
The connection between indoors and outdoors
A good design allows the home and garden to flow seamlessly into one another. That is why the architecture of the house and the characteristics of the lot serve as important starting points. Materials, shapes, and sightlines reinforce one another and create a natural transition between indoors and outdoors. This makes the garden feel like an extension of the living space and creates greater cohesion around the home.
Designs Based on Over 35 Years of Experience
As the founder of BURO Buiten , Peter Bouw has been at the heart of the world of landscape architecture and outdoor living for over 35 years. As an outdoor visionary and landscape architect, he looks beyond the boundaries of the garden itself. Every location tells its own story and calls for a unique approach. That’s why the focus is not on the style, but on the person behind the project. The goal always remains the same: to create an outdoor experience that reflects your personality and fits perfectly with the surroundings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a landscape architect do for your garden?
A landscape architect translates your wishes, home, and lifestyle into a single, well-thought-out garden design. In doing so, the architect considers sightlines, walking paths, patios, plantings, lighting, water features, and privacy. The result is a garden that is both visually appealing and practical for everyday use.
A good design starts with the architecture of your home and the layout of your interior. For example, a line of sight from the kitchen can extend to a work of art, a multi-trunk tree, or a water feature. Materials and colors from the interior can be reflected in the paving, outdoor kitchen, and canopy. Buro Buiten develops this as a comprehensive concept, with personalized guidance and direction from landscape architect Peter Bouw. Book a brainstorming session and discover which design vision suits your home and outdoor space.
How much does a landscape architect charge for an exclusive garden design?
For an exclusive garden design by a landscape architect, the price typically ranges from €3,500 to €12,500. The cost is determined by the size of your garden, the desired level of detail, and features such as a pool, outdoor kitchen, elevation changes, or custom lighting.
A comprehensive design may include a site assessment, initial sketches, a final design, material recommendations, a planting plan, and technical drawings for construction. By making clear decisions upfront, you’ll have better control over the overall budget and avoid having to make changes during construction. Buro Buiten guides you through the entire process from design to completion, ensuring harmony between your home, garden, and materials.

When is it a good idea to hire a landscape architect?
It’s best to hire a landscape architect before your plans for the house and garden are finalized. That way, the architect can contribute ideas early on regarding the placement of windows, sliding doors, patios, outbuildings, a pool, and the pathways through the garden.
When renovating or building a new home, this early collaboration often results in a more cohesive final design. For example, the indoor flooring can flow seamlessly outdoors, while lighting and sightlines are coordinated from the very beginning. Even with an existing garden, a landscape architect can help bring together individual ideas into a single, clear vision. Buro Buiten provides expert advice, personalized guidance, and complete peace of mind from start to finish. Schedule an on-site consultation before making any major decisions about your home and garden.
What does the process with a landscape architect look like, from design to construction?
Working with a landscape architect begins with a personal consultation to discuss your wishes, lifestyle, home, and budget. This is followed by an analysis of the site, after which the architect creates an initial design outlining the key elements, functions, and atmosphere.
After you provide your feedback, the plan will be further developed to include materials, plantings, lighting, and custom elements. Before construction begins, the drawings and selections will be coordinated with the contractors. The landscape architect oversees the project throughout the construction phase to ensure the original vision is maintained and no details are lost. Buro Buiten offers a comprehensive concept and manages the project from the initial sketch through to the completion of your garden. Schedule a brainstorming session with landscape architect Peter Bouw to discuss how your entire design and construction process can be organized.
How does a landscape architect create a strong connection between indoors and outdoors?
A landscape architect connects the indoors and outdoors by harmonizing lines, materials, colors, and functions. As a result, your garden feels like an extension of your home rather than a separate space behind the house.
The layout of your living room or kitchen often serves as the starting point. A long line of sight can extend from the interior to a green feature, while a patio aligns with the proportions of the facade. The repetition of natural stone, wood tones, and soothing colors also creates a sense of cohesion. Plantings soften the transition and create an attractive view from every window. Buro Buiten specializes in this strong connection between interior and exterior and is known for its personalized designs, in part due to landscape architect Peter Bouw appearances on RTL 4.
