A long open room faced east over former warehouse roofs. We kept tall foliage at the darker kitchen end and low trays along the glazing so the view of cranes and water stayed clear.
Dried oat stems replaced summer herbs in October without changing the tray grid. Project total: €2,650 including vessels.
Lower rooms stayed cool and dim; the mezzanine caught fractured afternoon sun. Aspidistra and a single climbing philodendron handled the ground floor while the mezzanine hosted a compact citrus under careful watering rules.
The syndic approved pot weights after our one-page note. Courtyard cluster: €920.
Three neighbouring households asked for coordinated sills. We matched tray heights and varied only the trailing species so the street read as one calm band rather than competing displays.
Each window landed near €210; the joint walk-through was bundled into the first invoice.
Owners wanted guest-proof greenery near the Grand Théâtre. Two hardy indoor plants plus a dried mantel piece survived six months of weekend turnovers with a drawer card for cleaners.
Initial styling day: €380, then a retainer at €280 once bookings increased.
Specimen note — Portfolio habit: write the light first, the plant second, the price last. Neighbourhood names keep memory sharper than serial numbers.
Email [email protected] with your neighbourhood and two window photos. We will say whether your flat fits a retainer or a single project before any fee is due beyond the advisory visit.
