Garden designs
Mien Ruys is one of the pioneers of modern landscape architecture. The designers at Buro Mien Ruys still adhere to her credo of 'seeking the clear line' and the use of a proven range of plants. The contrast is created by the relationship between the clear lines of the design and the floor plan, and the often abundant, colorful, and form-rich planting.
Eye for detail
Buro Mien Ruys designs both small and large private gardens, as well as semi-public (roof) gardens for schools, healthcare institutions, offices, and other organizations. Every design is custom-made and aligns with the surroundings, the user, and the desired aesthetic. Our designs are characterized by clean lines, a timeless appearance, and a well-thought-out balance between planting, materials, and space. In the tradition of Mien Ruys, we combine simplicity with functionality: understated where possible, playful where permitted. Every detail is carefully considered, from the structure of the garden to the choice of planting. This results in outdoor spaces that are not only beautiful to look at but also pleasant to spend time in, and retain their quality for years to come.
Searching for the clear line
Modern garden design
A modern garden design revolves around tranquility, simplicity, and a well-thought-out layout of the outdoor space. Clean lines, strong structures, and carefully chosen materials form the foundation. Planting is selected not only for its appearance but also for its bloom, structure, and the way the garden develops throughout the seasons. At Buro Mien Ruys, we translate these principles into a timeless design that complements the architecture of the home or building as well as the wishes of the user. The result is a garden that looks contemporary, is practical to use, and remains beautiful for years to come.
