Ecodisseny

When it comes to designing your outdoor spaces, whole-systems theory might not be the first thing you think of. This transdisciplinary approach to design endows cohesion to groups of interrelated components, either natural or technological. In short, it’s the technical theory of the Buddhist tenet that everything is connected to everything else. Marcos Tur Witt and his team at the Ibiza landscape design studio Ecodisseny take this thesis as foundational to their work and their daily lives.

The enterprising and innovative Ibiza landscaping firm is a trailblazer on the island, crafting enduring landscapes steeped in beauty, ecological restoration, preservation, and sustainability. With an origin story grown out of the heady days of Ibiza’s avant-garde art scene, Ecodisseny is housed in the same property designed by the eminent Bauhaus architect Erwin Broner, where Tur Witt grew up with his artist parents – art and artistry are baked into the firm’s culture.

A new addition to the estate, designed by Marc Tur Torres, was awarded first place in the Housing and Environment category at the seventh architecture awards by the Ibiza College of Architects and now contains the studio’s HQ. Coupled with Tur Witt’s credentials as a passionate eco-activist and founding member of Ibiza’s first permaculture association, a commitment to aesthetic and environmental integrity is essential for this esteemed Ibiza landscape designcompany.

While each project brings its own unique challenges and joys, the garden design process follows a well-defined path honed over decades of experience. Meetings with the client to deep dive into their vision are accompanied by on-site evaluations. Rough sketches emerge into a solid concept underpinned by scrupulous budgeting and planning to ensure that nothing is overlooked. Each plant, tree, and built element executed by the Ibiza landscaping firm is configured along the principles of sustainable functionality, which includes permaculture, bio-climatic design, water and energy management, and regenerative practices. Working with Ecodisseny ensures timeless designs built to flourish and mature well into the future.

With an impressive portfolio of completed projects and numerous plans ahead, Ecodisseny is on the cusp of setting new benchmarks for the future of Ibiza’s green spaces. Their philosophy harmonises a reverence for eco-conscious practices rooted in the island’s heritage with the thoughtful application of modern methods and technologies. The Ibiza landscaping firm’s projects are designed, implemented, and maintained to enhance biodiversity, encourage sustainable living, and foster a deep connection between humans and their environment, ensuring Ibiza’s gardens are not only beautiful but also promote responsible stewardship of the island’s delicate ecologies.
