Creating elegant gardens that respects nature and looks to the future.
Studio Kernin — Elegant & Sustainable Garden Design in Brittany
We design elegant, sustainable gardens, guided by a thoughtful approach that respects the spirit of the place and its natural environment.
Every project combines precise architectural thinking with meticulous work on plant palettes, highlighting textures, seasonal changes, and atmosphere. We create gardens with a natural, romantic aesthetic—designed to enhance well-being, support biodiversity, and offer a sense of calm in everyday life.
Based in Ille-et-Vilaine and Morbihan, Studio Kernin works with private clients and businesses on bespoke garden designs, from small urban gardens to large landscaped estates, in Brittany and beyond.
Our approach
Trained in the United Kingdom, we bring a creative approach that is both methodical and rigorous, combining horticultural expertise with full command of the design process—from the initial sketch to technical drawings and tender documentation—ensuring high-quality projects delivered within a controlled budget.
Our values
-
The benefits of gardens for both mental and physical health are well established. We seek to highlight their essential role in promoting well-being. Nature restores our minds and awakens our senses. It enhances our environment by reducing noise, pollution, and extreme temperatures.
-
We design landscapes that enrich the natural environment while supporting biodiversity. Our projects actively sequester carbon, filter air pollutants, encourage biodiversity, and manage water resources sustainably. By integrating elements such as green roofs, wildlife habitats, and climate-resilient design, we create spaces that protect ecosystems while bringing lasting enjoyment to those who use them.
-
Sustainability lies at the heart of our practice. We prioritise low-carbon, long-lasting materials, designing projects that celebrate regional craftsmanship and work closely with local suppliers. This commitment allows us to create landscapes that are both environmentally responsible and deeply rooted in their cultural context.
