Ines Halvard
Fictional persona — principal designer
Draws the plans and section studies. Believes a garden should be legible in winter.
The studio
A small studio, written for northern ground.
Northline is a fictional design-build practice invented to show what a considered landscape brand can look like online. In the story we've written, it works on cold sites with short seasons, heavy frost and thin topsoil — conditions that reward structure and punish fussiness.
Concept visualization — no built work is depicted.
What we hold to
Four working principles.
Read the site first
Slope, soil and light decide more than taste does. The drawing follows what the ground already wants.
Few materials, well cut
Stone, cedar, weathering steel, gravel. Restraint makes a small garden feel larger and ages more gracefully.
Plant for the region
Native-led planting means less water, less input, and a garden that feeds something other than itself.
Stay past handover
A landscape is not finished when the crew leaves. Stewardship is the part that keeps the design honest.
People
Three invented colleagues.
These team members are fictional characters written for the demo. They are not real people and no real biographies are represented.
Tomas Brekke
Fictional persona — build lead
Sets stone and grade. Keeps a running argument with the site about drainage, and usually wins.
Rosa Lindqvist
Fictional persona — planting & stewardship
Sources natives, tracks bloom succession, and edits the meadow twice a year.
