About Maïtanne Hunt

Maïtanne Hunt Gardens, Roof Terraces & Landscapes is a multi-award winning, small design studio based in west London. We specialise in the creation of elegant and distinctive outdoor spaces for both residential and commercial clients, in the UK and internationally. The studio has particular expertise in the conception, development and build of roof terrace gardens.

Considered, characterful design and exquisite planting are the foundation of the studio’s schemes – we aim to enhance the natural environment, captivate the eye and bring joy and contentment to our clients. We collaborate with leading exterior architects, interior designers, landscape contractors, specialist craftsmen and nurseries to bring our unique designs to life and keeping them tailored to our client’s dreams and needs. With over 15 years’ experience, we strive to create landscapes that are elegant, practical and timeless, regardless of the location or size or budget.

The studio is owned and run by Maïtanne Hunt – her initial career in the world of finance took her to Paris, New York and London. She then retrained at the English Gardening School, and at the  Architectural Association School of Architecture where she obtained a Master’s degree in Conservation and Restoration of Historical Landscapes and Gardens.

Maïtanne is a fully-registered member of the Society of Garden Designers (SGD), the British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) and the Association of Professional Landscapers (APL). She won two Pro-Landscaper awards in 2023, including Supreme Winner and she is also a BALI Principal Award Winner.

Maïtanne has not only created a beautiful garden for us but also something that fits with our own style and the way we live. Her attention to detail is immaculate and it shows in the results.

Maïtanne’s aim is always to ensure that the garden sits harmoniously alongside the house and natural environment, in order to bring enjoyment to those who live in it. From urban roof terraces and country gardens to residential or commercial properties, her landscapes are always elegant, practical and timeless, regardless of the location, size or budget.

At Maïtanne Hunt Garden & Landscape Design, we believe the relationship between a building and its setting is paramount and enjoy working with architects and designers from the start of the project.

We have experience in creating gardens for listed buildings and historic grounds that are subject to strict heritage compliance and historical restorations. We are familiar with planning applications as well as large-scale master planning and can undertake overseas projects.

Our designs aim for sustainable solutions, respect the environment, create biodiversity and conserve habitats.
