By providing habitats for pollinators, birds, and other beneficial species, the project enhances the ecological value of the space. “Our goal was to create an outdoor space that felt like an extension of the local landscape,” Ortez explains. “Native plants help us achieve that harmony while reducing the need for excessive maintenance.” This Coconut Grove residence exemplifies the shared values of LandStudio and CASA DDI: a commitment to sustainability, ecological responsibility, and the creation of homes that inspire harmony with nature. LandStudio seamlessly blends the artistry of landscape design with functional outdoor living, utilizing natural materials like wood and stone alongside native plants to craft inviting, sustainable spaces. “I believe the idea of a perfectly staged look is often seen as ideal, but in my experience, using native plants can be far more captivating,” says Ortez. Through LandStudio, Karla Ortez continues to merge nature with architecture, leaving a lasting impact on South Florida’s landscapes—both indoors and out. Her commitment to sustainability and deep respect for nature lie at the core of every project, establishing LandStudio as a leader in ecologically responsible landscape design.
