The Heart and Soul of La Menara: A Family Legacy in Landscape Design

Based in the privileged area of Marbella on the Costa del Sol, La Menara Landscape Design Studio has long represented a crucible of creativity and innovation in the garden and landscape design sector.

Since its inception in 1999, the company has blossomed under the guiding hands of the Vázquez family, embodying a philosophy that intertwines functionality, sustainability, and aesthetics in every project. But what truly sets La Menara apart is its foundation: a deeply rooted family legacy that infuses each creation with unparalleled passion and a personal touch.

 

 

A Green Legacy

At the heart of La Menara is Oscar Vázquez Moó, the company’s visionary founder and director. With a distinguished professional career that began in 1985, Oscar’s signature has adorned a wide and varied selection of projects, including hotels, residential urbanisations, sports complexes and private villas. His leadership has not only shaped La Menara’s direction but also ensured that the family’s ethos of innovation and growth remains at the core of their operations.

Joining Oscar in steering La Menara towards new horizons are the next generation of the Vázquez family, each bringing their unique expertise and vision. Pablo, with his landscape architecture credentials from the University of Évora, Portugal, manages the studio’s landscape designs, while Daniella takes the helm in project management and Jaime contributing vital commercial and marketing expertise, enriching the family business with their skills and dedication.

The Essence of Family

What makes La Menara truly special is the family spirit that permeates every aspect of their work. This second-generation family business doesn’t just create gardens; they weave stories of their heritage, passion, and vision into their landscapes in Spain, Italy, Portugal, Morocco and beyond. Each project is a testament to their commitment to personalising the client’s vision, transforming spaces into living, breathing extensions of the individual’s identity and lifestyle.

Crafting Legacies, One Garden at a Time

La Menara’s portfolio is as diverse as it is impressive, spanning luxurious villas, boutique hotels, and even public parks, each project a reflection of the studio’s commitment to creating spaces that are not only beautiful but sustainable and intuitive. The Vázquez family’s dedication to their craft and their clients shines through in their attention to detail and the harmonious integration of nature with a human dimension.

As La Menara continues to grow and evolve, the essence of family remains its fundamental touchstone. The Vázquez family’s passion, legacy, and dedication to landscape design show what can be achieved when heart and heritage converge in the pursuit of green-fingered beauty.
