View over Saanen in autumn

Gardens that grow out of their place.

Atelier Letzter designs and oversees gardens and outdoor spaces in Schönried, Gstaad and across the Saanenland.

Saanenland
Studio

I design gardens and outdoor spaces in the Saanenland and stay with them through to the building site.

Every project starts with a site visit. Terrain, orientation, snow and views shape the design long before I draw the first line. I work with local natural stone and larch, and with plants that thrive at 1200 metres above sea level. I don’t just design the planting: on request I also carry it out myself.

As a one-person studio I work directly with private clients, architects and municipalities. If you plan with me, you deal with the same person on site.
