About

Gardener, landscape architect and teacher, Philippe Allignet divides his time between the Netherlands, Belgium and France and is fascinated by garden design and large landscape. Having gained a French vocational qualification (BTS) in landscaping, he studied at the School of Nature and Landscape in Blois and then at the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam, where he now teaches.

The brief time he spent at Atelier Jacqueline Osty & Associés helped develop his fascination for the design of public spaces and the image that they portray of nature. After that he worked at H+N+S+ Landschapsarchitecten and OKRA (the Netherlands). At the same time, he founded his own studio, LLA, in 2020.

This experience only confirmed his passion, on the one hand for the vast regions that call our landscapes into question, the tension that prevails between natural and environmental processes and anthropic uses of our society to design the landscapes of the future, and on the other hand, on the smaller scale of the gardens and public spaces in our towns and countryside, courtyards and private gardens.

He enjoys exchanging ideas and practices between these two scales, playing with artistic, ecological and social dimensions to create spaces that are highly visual, rich and diversified. They all carry a subtle yet clear message about the evolution of our practices and of the way we look at nature.
