COPPENS
HAVING STUDIED AND WORKED ALL OVER THE WORLD, BENOIT'S PRIMARY FOCUS IS TO PROPOSE SOLUTIONS THAT SATISFY CLIENT NEEDS AND RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT.
With a Master’s Degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Gembloux Agro-Bio Tec in Belgium, Benoit currently works alongside the Landscape and Urban Design team where his knowledge and industry experience, including previous work with a number of prestigious landscape & architecture firms in Paris, has made him an invaluable member of the team.
His diverse range of field experience includes managing work sites, overseeing territorial strategy, supervising large-scale landscaping, garden and urbanism projects through to assisting with local neighbourhood and community projects.
His time at university saw him carry out a study on the flooding problems of the urban landscapes of Antananarivo in Madagascar. While time spent studying at the University of Montreal saw him honoured as a laureate for a competition organised by the UNESCO Chair in Landscape and Environment for his work on the new Triangle District close to Montreal’s CBD.
Hugely aware of protecting his surroundings and its way of life, Benoit intends to utilise a holistic approach when it comes to considering, designing and implementing both living and non-living landscapes.
