A Würzburg bungalow’s garden blooms into a living color palette
A once-empty plot in Würzburg has been transformed into a vibrant garden filled with colour, texture, and life. René Werner and Andreas Angerer, a horticulturist and fashion designer, turned their 1970s bungalow’s outdoor space into a carefully crafted retreat. Their unique collaboration blends plant expertise with a creative eye for design.
Werner and Angerer moved into their Würzburg home in 2019 before launching their garden design studio two years later. Werner, trained in landscape management, shapes the spatial layout of their projects. Angerer, with a background in fashion, handles the planting schemes, treating leaves and blooms like fabrics to create striking combinations.
Their private garden now features at least six distinct areas, each with its own character. A terrace with an 'exotic mix' of plants sits alongside a slope garden and a section dedicated to golden foliage. Japanese Aralia trees cast delicate shade, adding a touch of Californian style to the space. The garden bursts with colour year-round. In spring, 1,500 tulips in deep jewel tones cover the ground. Roses of all kinds—from the soft yellow 'Perle d'Or' to the bold pink 'Marguerite Hilling'—mingle throughout. The duo’s approach works 'from the inside out', ensuring every space connects visually with the home and its surroundings. Their design philosophy merges structure with spontaneity. Werner builds the framework, while Angerer layers in plants for texture and contrast. The result is a garden that feels both thoughtfully planned and effortlessly wild.
The Würzburg garden now stands as a testament to the duo’s combined skills. Werner’s horticultural knowledge and Angerer’s artistic vision have created a space rich in detail and variety. Visitors can explore distinct areas, each offering a different mood and color palette, all within a single plot.
