Milena Fernández
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
I am an architect, landscape designer and freelance illustrator, focused on the integral design of green spaces, taking into account the relationship between humans and nature.
I seek to address the concept of landscape design, establishing links and strengthening efforts aimed at consolidating the knowledge and practice of ecosystemic landscaping locally and globally.
I like to make illustrations to represent spaces and complement my presentations, I also like to photograph everything that exists.

Centro de visitantes San Lorenzo
Concept of the landscape project
The landscape project is focused on generating a direct dialogue between the environment and the landscape, while at the same time it has as a final approach to restore the natural ecosystems that surround it and of which the architectural project is part.
Emphasis was placed on the discovery of endemic plant species for their recognition and appreciation by visitors to the center, as well as their own benefit as a green corridor for the fauna that coexists in the context of the site.

Sanders residence
Concept of the landscape project
The landscape design for the Sanders Residence focuses on four key areas centered on family use, privacy, and enhancing social and recreational spaces, functioning as an integrative connector throughout the property.
The project features organically shaped roofs that unify the complex, complemented by carefully selected native or adapted plant species with attractive flowers and ornamental qualities to enrich sensory and spatial experiences.
The design aims to create a variety of contemplative and enjoyable spaces accessible from both inside and outside the house, with vegetation strategically arranged to frame views, especially towards Baru Volcano, thereby strengthening the connection between the residence, its garden, and the surrounding natural environment.

Edificio Armonía
Concept of the landscape project
The landscape design proposes a harmonious tropical design adapted to the conditions of the site, using a composition of trees and ornamental vegetation that contrast and enrich the environment, playing with hierarchies of scale, textures, and colors.
On the ground floor, two existing planters were used to create three-tiered compositions: tall species that define the structure, medium-height vegetation in mass, and low-growing and hanging species that soften the edges, including varieties such as Follium decipiens, Philodendron selloum, Iris, and Asparagus sprengeri.
On the terrace, geometric modules were designed to withstand the prevailing winds, with resistant plants such as Calliandra, Clusia, Plumeria, Zamia, Alpinia, and Dracaena, distributed in exposed, central, and visually striking areas, creating a diverse and balanced composition that complements the surroundings of PH Armonía. In all cases, the plant structure follows a hierarchical scheme with tall, medium, and short species, creating a unique, distinctive landscape that is consistent with the overall concept of the project.
