ROBIN KRAMER
Robin Kramer spent her childhood observing the landscapes of New England. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design Kramer worked in New York City in publishing and became a Children’s Book Illustrator.
From New York City Kramer moved to London and would spend a further 12 years living in Europe. Life in Europe ignited Kramer's love of gardens, architecture, and interior design.
In her garden design work Kramer has taken the language of historic European gardens and reimagined them for her American clients.
Living and working in both cities and towns, here and abroad, Kramer has built a solid foundation of landscape design experience that informs her design decisions daily. A garden designed by Kramer is a garden that is thoughtfully crafted for todays lifestyle while drawing from traditional European garden design. The objective being, that the work stands the test of time while being completely current.
FIRM
Robin Kramer Garden Design (RKGD) is a bespoke garden design firm specializing in high end residential design with offices in Greenwich, Connecticut and New York City. RKGD is focused on designing outdoor spaces that ignite the senses. From city rooftops to expansive family estates RKGD is focused on expressing the best character of each site while meeting the requirements of the brief offered by their clients.
APPROACH
Our approach is to begin with a thorough analysis of the defined objective and the realities of a site and its context. We design, challenge and refine a range of concepts and ideas in accordance to the objectives outlined in the brief, in order to achieve the best possible solutions for the client and the site.
"Architecture dominates modern residential landscapes and the relationship of the land to the buildings on it demands order. Once a solid foundation is established, the landscape can be planted in a more naturalistic manner." A careful development of the relationship between the land and buildings upon it allow for an opportunity to connect with nature, a calm connection that begins to shift the way one experiences daily life. Much like a carefully curated interior, the goal is to design garden spaces that reflect their inhabitants through expert execution.
