Type: Residential garden — private space Location: Virginal (Ittre), Brabant wallon Themes: Natural garden · Biodiversity · Water management · 5 senses · Plant intimacy This residential garden in Virginal, in the Brabant wallon, illustrates the Levostre philosophy of the garden as an extension of the home into nature. The design is built around successive spatial sequences — entrance, living space, kitchen garden and orchard, wild edge — each offering a distinct atmosphere and sensory experience. The chosen species — mainly native and pollinator-friendly — create a living ecosystem that evolves beautifully with the seasons. Rainwater management is integrated into the composition: draining slopes, ornamental wetland areas, and permeable surfaces reduce waterproofing to a minimum.
