Why Martha Franco

Why discerning clients choose our landscape studio

The property line, not the front door, is the true edge of a home. We design landscapes that carry the architecture outward — so gardens, terraces, and pools feel inseparable from the residence they surround.

Hardscape geometry and planting plans take their cues from the home’s lines, materials, and sightlines.

Gardens & Grounds

Grounds composed with an architect’s eye

Arrival sequences, garden walls, and mature planting are arranged to frame the residence and unfold as you move through the property. Every axis terminates with intention.

Terraces & Pools

Outdoor living, detailed like interiors

Stone terraces, pools, and loggias are drawn with the same precision as our interiors — integrated heating, lighting, and custom outdoor furniture make them usable for most of the year.

Testimonials

From the first sketch to the final installation, the process was smooth and professional. The quality of craftsmanship is outstanding, and the atmosphere they created is both modern and very warm.

Lucas Bergman

The team transformed our apartment beyond expectations. Every detail feels considered, and the custom furniture fits the space perfectly. It finally feels like a home designed just for us.

Emma Larsson

We needed smart storage without losing light and openness — and they delivered exactly that. The space feels balanced, functional, and beautifully finished. Highly recommended.

Sofia Nilsson

A rare combination of vision and rigour. The renovation of our heritage home respected its character while giving us a thoroughly modern way of living.

Daniel Roy

Every meeting felt collaborative, and the result speaks for itself — a serene, light-filled home our family loves. The custom millwork alone is worth every penny.

Frequently Asked Questions

Anything else on your mind? We’d be glad to answer it in a private consultation.

We offer a complete, integrated service: architecture, interior design, landscape design, and custom furniture. Every project is led by a single team from the first consultation to the final styling, so the result reads as one coherent design.

Our studio is based in Montreal, with active projects in Toronto, Florida, and New York. For exceptional residences and resorts, we work internationally on a select number of commissions each year.

Everything starts with a private consultation and feasibility review. We listen, assess the property, and outline a clear vision, budget frame, and timeline before any design work begins — discreetly and without obligation.

Timelines vary with scope. A full interior transformation typically runs 8 to 14 months; ground-up architecture and heritage restorations can extend beyond that. We share a detailed schedule at the concept stage and keep it updated throughout.

Yes. We prepare technical documentation, secure municipal and heritage approvals, and supervise construction through to installation. You have one point of contact for the entire project.

Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with outside architects, builders, and specialty artisans, coordinating the team so the design intent is protected at every stage.
