Iva Stoyanova
landscape architect
"Nature gives us a sense of harmony, it reveals our consciousness and allows us to know ourselves better. When creating nature, it is essential to feel every detail… from the surrounding landscape and the energy of the place to the vision of its visitors. I feel it is important to create spaces that are suitable for not just the client, but the variety of systems that incorporate the area. The art of landscape design is to combine the built and the natural into one unified environment.
My main mission is to create park spaces, understanding the needs and desires of its visitors and residents. The goal of designing parks and gardens is to create a place that brings positive feelings to the people - an environment that brings them together. No detail is too small, as we all experience things in a slightly different way."
