About Terry Naranjo, Landscape Architect

The Vision: Landscape as an Enduring Asset

Leveraging a comprehensive career in the field, I have refined the design process, leading to a singular focus: transforming the ordinary into enduring, resilient outdoor environments. My clients, including those with significant residential properties and bespoke hospitality interests, seek more than aesthetic enhancements—they seek a premium, investment-grade asset that actively enhances their quality of life.

​

My practice delivers The Ultimate Extension of Home: seamless, architecturally integrated outdoor living spaces that are not just beautiful, but are designed for exceptional longevity and elevated permanence.

​

The Core Philosophy: Intentional, Regenerative Systems

My work moves beyond standard design to employ a holistic, regenerative approach guided by the principles of:

​

Architectural Integration: Treating the site and structure as a singular, unified system to optimize flow, utility, and visual cohesion. This ensures a superior level of design integration.

​

Resilient Longevity: Employing thoughtful, intentional material selection and regenerative techniques that ensure your landscape matures gracefully, performing better over time and substantially reducing long-term maintenance burdens.

​

Curated Ecology: Focusing on the deeper processes of stewardship—designing with ecological forces to reduce risk and create a healthy, self-sustaining environment that reflects the highest standards of quality.

​

The Distinctive Outcome: Experience and Legacy

Our goal is to deliver authentic, deeply satisfying environments. We ensure every landscape is deeply reflective of its location and the client's aspirations, elevating the space through:

​

Place-Based Authenticity: Integrating cultural identity, art, and natural patterns to create a sense of groundedness and exclusive character, distinguishing your property from the typical "builder's grade" approach.

​

Personal Restoration: Designing areas that truly restore, inspire, and give solace, guaranteeing your investment provides daily, unmatched experiential value and contributes to a lasting legacy.
