The Studio

Led by Blaise Mombourquette

Blaise Mombourquette is a Certified Landscape Designer, Fusion Landscape Professional and horticulturist by training. His work begins with how the property needs to function, then shapes the materials, planting and views around it.

Borealis was formerly known as Rosetta Landscape Design and continues the same measured, collaborative approach.

How We Work

Your priorities lead the design

We listen to how you want to live outside, study what the property can support and develop the plan around those priorities.

Beauty, function and budget are considered together so the design can guide real decisions and construction.

What Grounds the Work

Three parts of every Borealis plan

Drawn to scale

The 2D plan gives clients and installers one accurate working document.

Made visible

Optional 3D renders and walkthroughs help you understand the space before it is built.

Planted with purpose

Horticulture training guides plant selection, colour, texture and long-term fit.

He really listened and had great patience.
