Sonja Kalkschmidt
Sonja’s transition from architecture to garden design was a natural evolution. With a background in creating static architectural environments, she developed an appreciation for the interaction between buildings and the natural landscape, and the people who interact in these spaces. This guided her to garden design, where she could explore the balance between the rigid structures of architecture and the fluid, ever-changing world of plants.
