Intimate landscapes

Landelier Landscape Atelier creates deeply personal landscapes shaped by the character of each place and the people who inhabit it. Every garden responds thoughtfully to its architecture, natural setting, and the rhythms of everyday life.

A more personal kind of landscape design

Landelier creates refined residential landscapes across the Hamptons and East End, defined by personal attention, site-specific design, and a thoughtful approach to everyday living.

Each project begins with listening—to the client, the architecture, and the land itself. The result is never a signature style repeated from one property to the next, but a landscape that feels distinctly its own.

Each garden begins with a close reading of the land—its light, topography, ecology, architecture, and surrounding context. The result is a landscape uniquely attuned to its setting.

Each project is guided personally by Daria Szalinska, from the earliest design concept through installation and beyond—ensuring continuity, clarity, and close attention at every stage.

Ongoing seasonal guidance allows each garden to mature with intention, evolve gracefully, and become more compelling with time.
