I
am a Landscape Architect gratuated from Manchester Metropolitan
University, where I was awarded a First Class Honours in Landscape
Design.
I
am a member of the Landscape Institute in England.
Before
moving to the UK I gained a degree in Architecture in Italy, where
I practiced this profession for some years.
Garden
design is now my speciality, but my experience range from urban design
to planning. I participated to park regeneration projects.
I
have designed many garden schemes, ranging from very small courtyards
to large country gardens. The studio-garden at Granada TV in Manchester
was the project that mostly contributed to increase my knowledge on management
and horticulture.
I
am specialized in modern design, including new imaginative way
to use old materials, but as I take inspiration from what is around
the garden, the influence can evolve into different styles.
I
am particularly interested and support a new approach to planting that
follows ecological principles, as developed by Dutch and German designers
and few pioneers in England. This involves the use of perennials in public
places or flower meadows in large areas where low maintenance is needed.
My
extensive knowledge of plants has its roots on the ground, having
maintained large gardens and experimented on many microclimate, soil-type
and habitats.
I
am based in Manchester, where I can provide contractors to carry out
the works of soft and hard landscape and offer direct assistance during
building process.
