his love
Nature
Born in The Hague, Andrew Vafi has always felt a deep connection to nature. That bond strengthened when he moved to Ibiza with his family and began designing his own 1,000 m² garden, a hands-on journey that sparked a lasting passion for landscape design.
Driven by curiosity and a genuine love for the land, Andrew has taught himself the craft through experience, research, and daily observation. His design approach is intuitive yet thoughtful, shaped by the rhythms of the island and inspired by permaculture, food forests, and Mediterranean planting traditions.
He believes a garden should be more than beautiful, it should be alive, regenerative, and in harmony with its surroundings.
his passion
Drawing Designs
For Andrew, every garden begins with a feeling, a vision first captured by hand to express the soul of the space. There’s something timeless about putting pen to paper and letting intuition guide the first lines.
But he also embraces modern tools like Moasure, which allow him to measure complex landscapes with precision and ease.
It’s where art meets technology.
By blending hand-drawn creativity with high-tech accuracy, Andrew designs gardens that are both personal and practical. He pours his heart into every project, and these tools help turn that passion into something real, rooted, and truly alive.
his previous project
Sant Carlos
Tucked away in the peaceful campo of San Carlos, this historic finca has been lovingly brought back to life. Its once-forgotten garden now flourishes again, honouring the past while embracing the present.
Stone walls built from the land itself trace the natural contours of the terrain, while a vibrant bougainvillea arch marks the entrance with colour and joy. Drought-tolerant Mediterranean plants, from lavender to native shrubs, fill the air with scent and softness. Gravel paths guide you through a landscape that feels grounded, timeless, and deeply rooted in place.
This garden is a quiet celebration of renewal, where heritage and nature come together in perfect harmony.
