Encerclé par des immeubles, ce jardin de la Capitale semblait petit à petit disparaître sous une végétation mal maîtrisée lorsque des nouveaux propriétaires sont tombés sous le charme de ce poumon vert ombragé. Conscients que les 150 mètres carrés disponibles (en comptant l'atelier existant) pourraient devenir une véritable bouffée d'air dans leur quotidien, ils n'ont pas hésité à faire appel aux talents de Stéphane Larcin pour les retravailler. Ce concepteur/paysagiste a rapidement compris ce qui se jouait sous le lierre envahissant : un manque cruel de structure. Seule l'allée incarnée par les pavés parisiens permettait de relier la maison à l'atelier abandonné, dans une sorte de jungle urbaine où la nature reprenait un peu trop ses droits. De nouveaux aménagements paysagers étaient nécessaires pour créer un semblant de cadre dans ce jardin de ville à fort potentiel. Des matériaux à la palette végétale, chaque détail fut donc pensé pour en faire une oasis entre ombre et lumière.
