Our Story

Founder Vision

Line
As the owner and founder of Flora and Grandes Design, established in 2021, I lead a landscape architecture studio dedicated to blending landscape art with architectural precision. My goal is to create outdoor spaces that are not only visually striking but also deeply functional and meaningful.

Since founding Studio-FV in 2008, I have developed a unique design perspective rooted in my background in architecture and my Master’s degree in the field. This foundation allows me to approach landscape design with a structured yet creative mindset, resulting in spaces that feel both intentional and inspiring.

My work has been recognized within the architectural community, including a nomination for the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP) for Emerging Architecture in 2014. This recognition reflects my commitment to innovation and my ability to design environments that balance aesthetics with practicality.

In addition, my projects have been featured in leading industry publications such as Landscape Architecture Magazine and Garden Design Magazine. These features highlight my expertise in creating turnkey kitchen gardens and my focus on designing outdoor spaces that support sustainable and healthy living.

Sustainability is at the core of my design philosophy. Every project is approached with careful consideration of materials, environment, and long-term impact, ensuring that each space is both environmentally responsible and built to endure over time.
