Phytolab is a landscape architecture and environment based in Nantes (France) since 1993 with a variety of experience and skills, including landscape architects, urban planners, architects, naturalists, ecologists and designers. The multidisciplinarity of Phytolab gives the agency the ability to work on all environment types, particularly river and coastal shorelines, wetlands or complex architectural or urban projects. The wide range of specialities among employees enables a rich interaction within the team, as well as considerable opportunity for cross-referencing. Our creative and technical horizon covers a great diversity of scales, stakes and landscape types.
Definitely focused on the operational side of a project, we first study the scenery of the site and emphasize a practical, sensorial and empathetic approach. Our work is based on the intrinsic qualities of a site, its history and its potential as well as its people perceptions and uses. To date, our projects include as well some integration of infrastructures works such as a light rail lines or urban motorways, turning them into peaceful boulevards. We also worked on coastal towns and cities enhancement, on ecological programming and management as well as industrial or deteriorated coastlines regeneration. Projects include urban parks, new neighbourhoods, squares, streets and national heritage sites.
Our extensive experience in landscape and development design, as well as ecological and functional improvements in areas under urban, industrial or ecological changes, has gained recognition. For more than 15 years, the high-quality developments made by Phytolab have been recognized by many awards at international, European, national and local levels. The regularity of these awards is a serious sign of our ability to design and achieve quality spaces that meet key development issues as well as users’ needs and expectations.
Since its creation, Phytolab has been under continuous development. This steady progress has given us the capacity to conceive and work on projects not only at a national level, but also on all corners of the international stage.
This continuous development is a result of our desire to bring our knowledge and creativity to areas where it is needed, while respecting the diverse cultures and environments.
