Pechère is also present on many architectural sites in Brussels during the 1960s and 1970s, as the interior designer Stéphane Jasinski, with whom he worked sporadically. Il signe, notamment, les jardins en terrasse du Crédit Communal, boulevard Pachéco, et une composition exceptionnelle, aujourd'hui disparue, pour la Société Nationale du Crédit à l'Industrie , sise Boulevard de Waterloo ; Pechère constitue, en plein boulevard, une évocation de buis en pierre bleue afin de remplacer les plantes et le gazon, devenus misérables. He signs, including the terraced gardens of Credit Communal, Pachecolaan, and a unique composition, which has disappeared, for the Société Nationale du Crédit à l'Industrie, located Boulevard de Waterloo; Pechère is in full boulevard, a buxus evocation of blue stone to replace the plants and grasses, become miserable.

A l'image de son "jardin" boulevard de Waterloo, son style est géométrique et empreint de rigorisme classique. A picture of his "garden" Boulevard de Waterloo, geometric style is marked by rigorous and classical. Pechère utilise les végétaux ( if, buis , platane , yucas ) comme éléments architecturaux et tient compte dans ses agencements des combinaisons de couleurs, de l'ensoleillement et des ombres portées. Pechère uses plants (if, boxwood, sycamore, Yucas) as architectural elements and takes into account arrangements in combinations of colors, sunshine and shadows.

D'allure presque austère, le style Pechère trouve sa plus belle expression dans le jardin en terrasse de la Cité administrative de l'État. To look almost austere style Pechère finds its finest expression in the garden terrace of the Cité administrative de l'État.

On lui doit, également à Bruxelles, les parcs du Botanique et du Mont des Arts, les jardins du musée Van Buuren , du Berlaymont et de la Maison d'Érasme. He is also in Brussels, Parks Botanical and the Mont des Arts, gardens Van Buuren Museum of Berlaymont and the House of Erasmus.
