Garden design
The joy of greenery
With nature as the guiding principle, your urban garden becomes an oasis of greenery that provides a sense of tranquillity and happiness.
From the inside out
Nature is a source of joy, so immerse yourself in it! Particularly if you are living in the city and have just a couple of square metres of space for greenery, such as a facade garden, balcony or rooftop terrace, I can always find a way to bring nature right to you.
While attending Salone del Mobile in Milan, Europe’s largest furniture fair, I suddenly realised that ‘stuff’ does not make people happy. Instead, nature is the true source of happiness
Nature in your home
A walk around Lake Como with all of its peace and beauty inspired me with the insight that everything we truly need comes from nature. Upon returning to Milan, I stood right in the middle of Hall 2 at that immense furniture fair, and suddenly realised with blinding clarity: alongside providing interior design advice, I will be designing gardens.
My clients will be able to experience the joy and tranquillity of nature right at home. From the inside out; each space a beautiful extension of the other.
Nature in the city
My mission is to unite nature and the living environment as a means of connecting people with greenery. This is especially important for city dwellers, who often can’t take this connection for granted.
It’s a shame to have a garden that you don’t really enjoy or that doesn’t particularly inspire you. Fortunately, the solution is simple: together we will transform your garden into a wonderful place.
No matter how small it is!
About Ferbine
Ferbine: what an interesting name!
It makes perfect sense however, since ‘ferbine’ means ‘to connect’ in Frisian.
Even after more than 25 years in Amsterdam, I’ve never really lost touch with my Frisian roots.
I always seek connection. My first step is to understand your situation and your desires. After that, I can get to work. I may even come up with ideas that have never occurred to you, simply because I know that there are so many possibilities.
Green for good health
Being surrounded by greenery has been shown to enhance your health, increase your energy levels and promote mental and emotional well-being. You can enjoy these benefits too, simply by having a garden that suits you.
Connecting with nature
Live by the seasons once again! You can enjoy connecting with nature every day in a garden that is beautiful all year round, richly diverse, and free of pesticides.
Blending indoors with outdoors
Revel in creating a harmonious connection between your indoor and outdoor spaces that provides a natural invitation to spend more time outside.

Everything deserves a second chance: from washstand to garden table!
Something I always remember about my grandparents’ home in Brabant is the little wrought iron table with its ornately curled legs. It had a marble top upon which stood an antique pitcher and basin dating back to the time before houses had running water. Once a...
