About Blacktower and Partners residential landscaping

At Blacktower & Partners, we believe the landscape is not an accessory to architecture — it is an essential extension of it.

Our work brings together architecture, landscape, and lifestyle into cohesive outdoor environments defined by clarity, proportion, and permanence.

Founded by Ivan Torrenegra, a designer with a Master’s Degree in Landscape Architecture, the studio builds upon more than fifteen years of experience shaping refined outdoor environments for luxury residences, private estates, hospitality properties, and communities.

Before establishing Blacktower & Partners, Ivan worked with leading landscape architecture studios including Roberto Rovira Studio, Design Studio Boca Landscape Architects and Planners, and Nievera Williams Design. Through this experience, he contributed to projects in prestigious destinations such as Palm Beach, The Hamptons, Winter Park, Miami, Dubai, and Antigua, helping shape landscapes for some of the world’s most distinguished residential environments.

Following his time in these studios, Ivan served as Lead Designer within a prominent design-build landscape firm in Central Florida, where he oversaw the design and execution of numerous high-end residential landscapes and complex outdoor environments.

Today, Blacktower & Partners operates from Orlando and Palm Beach, offering full-service landscape architecture and design-build services, guiding projects from conceptual vision through construction. The studio also provides remote design services for homeowners, architects, and developers worldwide.

Our work is guided by a set of enduring principles:

* Strong relationships with clients, architects, and collaborators

* Timeless design rooted in proportion, restraint, and craftsmanship

* Carefully curated plant palettes tailored to climate, maintenance, and architectural style

* Material selection that prioritizes longevity, elegance, and regional performance

Every project is approached holistically, with careful attention to every outdoor element, including:

* Custom swimming pools

* Driveways and paving compositions

* Shade structures and trellises

* Custom planters and sculptural planting arrangements

* Outdoor kitchens and fireplaces

* Ecological grading and well-engineered drainage systems

At Blacktower & Partners, we care deeply not only about how a space looks when it is first completed — but how it matures, performs, and lives with the people who inhabit it over time.

Our landscapes are sculptural yet livable, bold yet timeless, and always responsive to architecture, climate, and the natural world.

Structure. Strength. Design.

That is the Blacktower & Partners style.
