Last year, Martin Solomon from the Bahamas reached out to us, recommended by a friend, to purchase TerraCottem for his beach project on Windermere. Six months ago, he contacted us again with a brief message: “A happy customer from your past. Can I place another order, please?” Naturally, we were delighted to assist and soon engaged in a series of messages and emails, exchanging photos of the remarkable results achieved with our “amazing product” – as Martin describes it.

We reached out to Loïc Delhaye, a landscape architect and frequent patron, to delve into his career journey and his exploration of TerraCottem.

Nevertheless, this challenge presents a silver lining: it affords more office time. This period has provided Loïc with the opportunity to advance his research and reinvent his approach, enabling him to innovate within his field.
"A visitor to a garden sees the successes, usually. The gardener remembers mistakes and losses, some for a long time, and imagines the garden in a year, and in an unimaginable future."
- W.S. Merwin
