There are people whose care for space is embedded in their genetic code. They create gardens that contain things you didn’t suspect existed, and they invite everyone who collects botanical species and impressions.
The idea of this garden was constantly reimagined by its owner. He got to know his garden better, falling in love with it more and more season after season. His typical morning begins with a short walk to set the mood for the day, reflect, notice changes, and imagine new ones.
Over several years, the request for the landscape changed in its very essence: from a modern countryside space for the family to an open exhibition garden with a large collection of plants and the feelings they evoke.
The garden has always been of paramount importance, so during the architectural design phase, it was decided to place the buildings in the corners. The center remained free for creating a classic Scandinavian garden, offering such diverse moments and states.
This landscape features local plants and unique exotics. They were selected delicately to avoid putting the surrounding environment at risk. For instance, we found a suitable beech from a collector, grown in the northwestern region. The island Korean mountain ash Dodong with its incredibly bright red foliage was brought adapted from Sweden.
The shady forest encounters a sunny lawn. Brutal stones with a weightless cloud of grasses. Color appears not only in flowers. The garden is beautiful in autumn too, with the emergence of a new palette of ochre, brown, yellow branches and roots, needles and seed pods, stones and earth.
L.BURO
L.BURO was recognized as the best landscape company in Russia 2025 according to the ALAROS association. Gardens from L.BURO are about state of mind and the skill to enjoy life here and now.
Our signature style is Scandinavian gardens. It combines the resilience of the Normans and the romanticism of St. Petersburg residents, where restraint coexists with impressions and emotions. If you value northern style, nature carefully integrated into architecture, well-thought-out routes and low maintenance — then a Scandinavian garden is for you. Having become an answer to self-sufficient modern architecture, the Scandinavian garden at the same time pays tribute to the times, choosing a person and their state as its center.A Scandinavian garden is harmony and tranquility. Reliability and safety. Burst of emotions and inspiration. We sincerely believe that such a garden is not only beautiful but also a real investment in a person’s state of being.
