Landscape design
& architecture

My first garden and workshop: my family home, where gardening, pruning, and volumetry through plants were first explored, and which remains a model for trial and error. The design respected the existing framework of previously planted trees; the layout of flower beds, pathways, and lighting were designed and built from scratch, with a dark blue, violet, and white palette combining native and traditionally used species. As the first garden fully designed and built, it also brought a first hands-on lesson in caring for plants - respecting their water, sun, and soil needs, choosing species that could thrive together, and managing pruning and flowering schedules.

A collaboration with Identidad Paisajismo studio, covering general design and site supervision — a first experience with large extensions and bigger budgets. For a European client who summers in Uruguay, native plants were combined with species tied to classic European gardens (roses, thuja, olive trees), requiring a careful balance between very different characters. At the time, this was the largest private residential project undertaken, later surpassed by commercial work.

A private residential project in the suburbs of Montevideo: full design, construction drawings for building and budgeting, and on-site management, from planting through completion. It was my first project fully designed and managed independently, working directly with clients, nurseries, suppliers, gardeners, and architects with no senior figure to consult - a formative experience, and one held in particularly high regard for that reason.

A collaboration with Identidad Paisajismo studio: general design followed by construction drawings for every area and flower bed, coordinated with the architecture team. It stands as the largest commercial project completed to date, and a lesson in timing, species selection, and the fast pace of commercial clients.

Since 2026, I am based at Casa Newton in Tuscany, gaining hands-on experience maintaining a garden designed by Luciano Giubbilei while contributing to the design of a new exterior access for one of the estate’s buildings.
