Gardens that grow out of their place.
Atelier Letzter designs and oversees gardens and outdoor spaces in Schönried, Gstaad and across the Saanenland.
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.
