About the studio

A European landscape design studio for Miami homes

Nistal Landscape Design was founded by landscape designer Cristina Nistal. Over nine years the studio has designed private gardens, pool landscapes, rooftops and workplace gardens in Spain, always as a small practice where the founder leads every project personally.

We now accept commissions from homeowners in Miami and South Florida who value a calm, architectural approach to the garden. Design is led from our studio, with site visits and close collaboration with local professionals as each project requires.

Design philosophy

What guides every garden we design.

01

Design as craft

Landscape design is art and craft — a union of forms and colors that turns nature into living poetry.

02

Architecture first

A garden should feel like it belongs to the house. We start from the architecture and the way rooms open outside.

03

Restraint

Fewer, better decisions. Calm layouts, a disciplined material palette and planting with a clear character.

04

Collaboration

In Miami we work with local architects, contractors and specialists who bring the site knowledge each project needs.

Working with us from Miami

Most projects begin by email: you share photos, plans and what you hope the garden will become. From there we agree the scope, and design develops through video calls, site visits and shared drawings.
