Landscape Design for Architects & Designers in Miami
Cristina Nistal Landscape Studio collaborates with architecture studios, interior designers, developers and builders to shape the landscape and outdoor spaces of residential and hospitality projects in Miami and South Florida. We are an international landscape design studio, based in Madrid, working remotely and collaboratively with the teams who lead each project.
The studio joins a project as an external landscape design partner, alongside the lead architect or design team, from early concept through detailed landscape design. Local architects, contractors and consultants handle site-specific execution, permitting and construction when required — we provide landscape design, not licensed landscape architecture services in Florida.
Partnership
An external landscape design partner for your studio
Architecture and interior design studios can bring us into individual projects without building an in-house landscape design department. We adapt to the architecture, the client brief and the workflow of each project, while bringing a distinctive landscape perspective to the whole.
Collaboration is seamless and discreet: clear documentation, strong visual communication and full respect for the relationship between the lead studio and its client. We work as part of your team — never around it.
For homeowners, we also offer direct residential landscape design in Miami and a full range of landscape design services.

Workflow
Designed in collaboration
Landscape Concept
Cristina Nistal Landscape Studio develops the landscape strategy, spatial organization, planting character, materials and relationship between architecture and garden.
Design Development
The proposal is refined alongside the architecture/interior design team, including plans, material selections, planting concepts and 3D visualization where required.
Local Coordination
When the project requires local permitting, technical documentation, site supervision or licensed professionals, the design can be coordinated with the project's local consultants, contractors and landscape professionals.
Design language
European design perspective, adapted to South Florida
The studio brings a contemporary European and Mediterranean design sensibility — careful spatial composition, restrained material palettes, naturalistic planting and architectural vegetation — to gardens conceived as an extension of the house.
That language is translated for Miami, not transplanted. Planting is selected for South Florida's tropical and subtropical climate, its light, rain and heat, and for the way people live outdoors here. The result is a European design approach built on landscape solutions that are right for the region.
