EAST OF SUMMER

East of Summer is a boutique landscape design studio rooted in a deep respect for nature, place, and the living elements that shape every outdoor environment. We believe that thoughtful landscapes are not only defined by form and layout, but by the vitality, character, and long-term health of the flora within them.

The principal, Marysia Sobolewska is a landscape architecture engineer and graduate of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences—the same institution where her mother studied horticulture. This shared foundation reflects a lifelong connection to the natural world. Summers spent on her grandparents’ farm instilled an early understanding of the rhythms of land, the importance of plant health, and the role nature plays in everyday life.

With this perspective, design becomes more than composition—it is a careful study of plant communities, climate, and how landscapes evolve over time. Each project is approached with a balance of technical knowledge and intuitive sensitivity to the environment.

Her professional path has been shaped internationally, with extensive time spent in the United States. Beginning as an intern in New York, she developed a hands-on understanding of every phase of the process - from early design development and site analysis to planting and 

long-term maintenance. Recognized for her expertise, she was invited back twice to work in the Hamptons as a plant health care technician, further deepening her knowledge of horticulture and landscape performance in demanding coastal environments.

A love of travel and the outdoors continues to inform her work, bringing         a broad perspective and refined sensibility to each landscape. East of Summer  collaborates closely with clients, architects, and builders to create outdoor spaces that are not only beautiful, but enduring, immersive, and alive.
