Studio

At Vida Verde, we specialize in landscape design, execution, supervision, and maintenance. Our approach combines creativity and sustainability to craft innovative outdoor spaces, from public parks to private gardens.

We are a landscape architecture studio designing both public and private spaces. We approach each project with enthusiasm and creativity, delivering functional and innovative solutions rooted in nature and user needs.

Our vision emphasizes harmony between people and nature, creating landscapes that are authentic.

Our design process is grounded in context – the landscape, the people, the place. This results in spaces with strong identity.

VIDA VERDE is a landscape architecture studio specializing in the design and development of various types of outdoor spaces.

We are committed to designing spaces of all scales, including public areas, tourist complexes, commercial properties, historic gardens and parks, educational environments, residential gardens, as well as participating in public tenders.

"If we opened people up,
we'd find landscapes."
- AGNES VARDA

“The landscape is the place
where the Sky and the Earth touch.

…& our role as landscape architects
is to try to preserve that magic touch.”
- GEORGES DESCOMBES

Our design approach is grounded in a careful understanding of spatial context, ecological systems, and the creation of functional structures that respond to the community’s real needs.

Every project allows us to shape space through a sustainable, creative, and interdisciplinary approach, creating environments with a strong identity that connect people with the natural environment.

Tko smo mi?

VIDA VERDE is a landscape architecture studio founded in 2018. It is the natural continuation of a long-standing career in renowned firms and a personal step toward transforming acquired knowledge into independent practice.

We approach each challenge with enthusiasm, inspiring one another to think creatively and create spaces rich in meaning, function, and experience.

Our team is united by a shared belief that the landscape is not a static backdrop, but a living, multilayered space with the potential to bring about real change. We approach our projects interdisciplinarily, believing that dialogue between different fields leads to high-quality, long-term solutions. Everything we value can be summed up in two words: VIDA VERDE – life and greenery.

In every project, our first step is to carefully listen to the space – to understand its character, layers, and relationship with its users. We design functional, distinctive, and sustainable spaces. We create new spatial values that foster an emotional connection between users and the landscape.

Project implementation involves active collaboration with contractors and construction supervision, while the final phase includes long-term monitoring of the space’s development. We believe that landscape is not a finished product but a living process that evolves, bchanges, and grows.

U svakom projektu, naš prvi korak je pažljivo osluškivanje prostora – razumijevanje njegovog karaktera, slojevitosti i odnosa s korisnicima.

Zatim analiziramo kontekst, uvijek prethodi dizajnu. Uzimamo u obzir šire urbanističke uvjete, mikroklimatske čimbenike i postojeću zelenu infrastrukturu. Time osiguravamo da naša rješenja proizlaze iz prostora, a ne da mu se nameću.

Projektni proces razvijamo postepeno, od prvih koncepcijskih ideja do razrade detalja. Svako rješenje nastaje kroz promišljanje mogućnosti i ograničenja, s jasnim ciljem stvaranja prostora koji su funkcionalni, estetski i održivi. Naš dizajn se temelji na dijalogu – s prostorom, zajednicom i strukom.

U kreativnoj fazi oblikujemo prostorne narative koji odgovaraju na konkretne potrebe, ali i potiču emocionalnu povezanost korisnika s krajobrazom. Biramo biljne vrste i materijale koji su primjereni kontekstu, otporni i dugoročno održivi.

Realizacija projekta uključuje aktivnu suradnju s izvođačima i nadzor nad izvedbom, dok završna faza podrazumijeva praćenje razvoja prostora kroz vrijeme – jer vjerujemo da krajobraz nije konačan proizvod, već proces koji se živi, mijenja i raste.
