Peter Adams, co-founder of Avantgarden in Wijnegem, Belgium, is a legendary landscape architect whose influence spans continents—from Europe to China and beyond. With over 2,000 completed projects since 01980, his work ranges from intimate residential gardens to monumental public spaces across Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Switzerland, the UK, Cambodia, the USA, Brazil, and Israel.
Peter doesn’t just design landscapes; he creates living, breathing experiences—like the indoor gardens at the Herman Teirlinck building in Brussels, where greenery and architecture merge to inspire Flemish government officials daily. His work is not just seen but felt.
A Friendship Written in the Stars
When Véronique and Peter first met over 22 years ago, sparks flew—but not the good kind. Forced to collaborate on a project, they initially found each other arrogant. How wrong can a first impression be? Today, they’re inseparable—best friends who share both deep conversations and uncontrollable laughter until tears roll down their faces.
Together, they balance brilliance and humor, seriousness and playfulness—exactly the energy YUGENING stands for.
A Reflector of Possibilities
Now joining YUGENING’s Board of Reflectors, Peter brings his visionary spirit, boundless creativity, and decades of experience to the table. He’s not just a master of landscapes—he’s also a gifted flamenco guitarist, reminding us that passion, rhythm, and flow are as essential to life as they are to design.
With Peter, ideas grow wild, visions take root, and there’s always room for a good laugh—because at YUGENING, we know that brilliance and fun are the perfect pair.
