GARDENS DESIGNED TO LAST
YOUR GARDEN,
Our Expertise
Leveraging the local plant palette
We use the local plant palette as the starting point for every project, as it’s naturally suited to the soil, climate, and cultural context of the site. Working with these species ensures the garden’s resilience, minimizes water and maintenance needs, and highlights the location’s unique identity. This choice is also aesthetic, native plants provide textures, colors, and rhythms that blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.
Creating lasting masterpieces
Creating a garden is no simple task. It involves integrating scientific, ecological, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions into a harmonious composition. Beyond planting, a landscape designer crafts a living, sustainable space, a true extension of the architecture, that evolves and tells a story through the seasons and over time.
Evoking emotion with dreamlike landscapes
The details create the subtle harmony of a garden. The arrangement of plants, the flow of pathways, the layering of spaces, and the rhythm of volumes and colors all shape how we experience the place and evoke a sense of well-being. It’s these understated elements that form the garden’s overall harmony.
Water-conscious design
Water management is a key consideration from the very start, without water, there is no garden. We analyze the site’s climate, habitat, and hydrological data to guide plant selection and layout decisions. Conserving water remains a top priority, always promoting a mindful and responsible use of this vital resource.
Designing architectural harmony
Architectural elements play a fundamental role. They structure the space, define zones, and guide both views and movement. Combined with plants, they create rhythm and volume, forming a harmonious and functional whole where nature and design balance each other, offering an experience of contemplation, poetry, and daydreaming.

Panpriape
Origins
The name Panpriape combines two Greek deities: Pan, symbolizing wild nature, and Priapus, guardian of gardens, orchards, and fertility. These two forces complement each other, representing the untamed natural world and the art shaped by human hands.
Why Marrakech ?
Marrakech has a long-standing tradition of garden art and a unique, rich artisanal heritage. It serves both as a source of inspiration and a legacy to preserve. The city is not only a playground but also a true laboratory for designing the gardens of tomorrow, adapted to a warming climate.
Our Vision for Future
We aim to continue promoting the creation of ecological gardens to our clients and collaborators, where the poetry of life can flourish. We also strive to pass on to future generations the importance of preserving the planet, while nurturing a sense of wonder for the simple, poetic beauty that surrounds us.

The Faces Behind Panpriape
Panpriape is a young team of passionate professionals brought together over time. The studio was founded by Marius Boulesteix in Paris before relocating to Marrakech, where Abderrahim El Hout joined as a partner.
Marius envisions the gardens, while Abderrahim ensures the studio runs smoothly. Together, they have built a network of essential collaborators, architects, nurserymen, gardeners, and artisans, all driven by a shared vision: creating poetic landscapes that respect the environment.

CONSCIOUS CRAFTSMANSHIP
Philosophy
At Panpriape, we see the garden as a space designed for the well-being of those who inhabit it, while also welcoming life in all its forms. A refuge for biodiversity, a place of poetry, slowness, and breathing, it offers a precious counterpoint to the world’s constant rush.
Today, creating a garden can feel almost subversive, given how rare romance, peace, and connection with nature have become. A garden is first and foremost a construction, a dialogue between human intention and the site’s climatic, topographic, and botanical conditions.
Soils and seeds, flowers and fruits, trees and clouds ... these are the primary elements of any garden. It is this living material, shaped with care and humility, that forms the language of the landscape.
Across cultures, the garden has always symbolized paradise, and this concept continues, in our collective imagination, to define what we expect from a garden: a peaceful place where we live in harmony with nature.
