MEET THE OWNER
The studio is led by landscape designer Danielle Faustini. Danielle's foundation in landscape design began at the New York Botanical Garden, where she studied garden design and the fundamental principles of landscape architecture. Her early career in New York City honed her skills through the design and implementation of innovative urban gardens and pioneering green roof installations.
​
After relocating to South Florida, she began working alongside a distunguished landscape architect, contributing to iconic projects such as the Versace Mansion and the Gateway at Wynwood high-rise development. Her portfolio also includes private residences for Fortune 500 CEOs, professional athletes, and renowned musicians.
​
Now based in Northeast Florida, Danielle creates exceptional outdoor living spaces that are both timeless and uniquely suited to their surroundings. The region's diverse plant palette, distinct seasonal changes, and abundance of outdoor living opportunities provide a constant source of inspiration.
​
Prior to her career in Landscape Design, Danielle worked in music management before realizing that she craved a more creative path. She fell in love with Landscape Architecture and how it uniquely blends artistic expression, problem-solving, and environmental stewardship. There is something new to be learned with every project.
​
In addition to designing outdoor spaces, Danielle contributes to her community as Chair of an Architectural Review Board. She actively engages in professional development through weekly Landscape Architecture meetings with the goal of obtaining her licensure. Furthermore, Danielle shares her knowledge and insights by presenting on various design and garden-related subjects.
When not immersed in her work, Danielle enjoys travelling, exploring new creative endeavors, and spending time with her family.
WHAT WE DO
"You guys just pick out plants and make our yards look pretty, right?"
Wrong. Beyond simply selecting plants, landscape architecture is a multifaceted discipline that integrates art, science, and engineering to create functional and beautiful outdoor spaces. We analyze site conditions, understand environmental impacts, and consider the unique needs and aspirations of our clients to design outdoor environments that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also sustainable, resilient, and enjoyable. From enhancing property values and improving curb appeal to creating private sanctuaries for relaxation and entertainment, landscape designers and landscape architects play a vital role in shaping the built environment and enhancing the quality of life for individuals and communities.
​
As a studio, we work on a diverse range of projects, from historic bungalows to expansive beachfront estates, to assisting with site planning and select commercial developments. We frequently collaborate with architects, property developers, interior designers, and estate managers to ensure a seamless and integrated design process.
Our design philosophy emphasizes a more modern and minimalist apprach, yet each project is uniquely tailored to the specific needs and aspirations of our clients. We prioritize sustainable and ecological practices, creating gardens that are not only beautiful but also effortless extensions of the home.
​
Whether it's a serene private garden or a vibrant outdoor living space, we strive to create timeless designs that enhance the quality of life and elevate the overall experience of the built environment.
