Every project starts with a sketch. Creating these hand-rendered drawings for Studio Jacobs is a vital step in the design process. Through sketching, we must be mindful of every decision made in shaping the space, while applying texture, volume, and the beginnings of the planting palette. We believe that this artful craft is one each project deserves, embodying the vision and feeling that will guide us throughout the project.

The sketches shown above are a small representation of the projects Jeroen has been a part of in the past several years, including gardens in London, San Francisco’s Pacific Heights, the North Bay’s Marin County, Lake Tahoe, the countryside outside of Seattle, and the Netherlands.
