NEW REQUESTS FROM CLIENTS
I track best outdoor designs : I have seen clients starting to expect different contributions from their outdoor designer -garden
– ability to hel p green the home [ capture water =rain gardens beyond water hogs]
– ability to PRODUCE not just food but ENERGY : See the concept of micro generation that suggests each tiny or large plot can produce energy [ mini ultra design trubines by Philippe Starck on the edgier side …]
– ability to make the outdoor space a social hub [ a yoga platform etc … rather than rush around have friends over]
– ability to support private enterprise [ have an outdoor office- shedwork etc]
DESIGNERS who provide great solutions for these in France and the UK can hope for a great future
