Fernando Wong Outdoor Living Design

What Fernando Wong Outdoor Living Design does

Fernando Wong Outdoor Living Design is a privately held boutique landscape architecture firm founded in 2005 by Fernando Wong and Tim Johnson, headquartered in Miami Beach with additional offices in Palm Beach and Miami. The firm provides comprehensive landscape architecture, garden design, and project management services for ultra-high-net-worth residential estates and luxury hospitality brands, applying classical architectural principles to create master plans that integrate sustainable landscape installations with architecture and terrain. Revenue is generated through custom professional services fees on a project basis, with pricing quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the firm deliberately accepts a limited number of engagements to maintain a high-touch, principal-led delivery model.

The firm's client roster spans multiple Four Seasons properties (Hotel at the Surf Club Miami, Resort Palm Beach, Private Residences Fort Lauderdale), boutique hotels (Perry Lane, Mansion Hotel Savannah), private clubs (Gasparilla Inn & Beach Club, Seminole Golf Club, Lyford Cay Club), and government work (a Bahamian national park), with projects delivered across Florida, the Bahamas, Georgia, New York, Louisiana, England, and Panama. Beyond core design services, the firm has productized its brand through the 2024 Vendome Press book 'The Young Man and the Tree' (foreword by Martha Stewart) and the HGTV/Discovery Plus television series 'Clipped,' co-starring with Martha Stewart.

The business operates without external funding, acquisitions, or parent-company control, and remains independently owned by its founders. Marketing is driven almost entirely by earned media and Fernando Wong's personal brand equity — including repeated features in Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, Forbes, The New York Times, House Beautiful, Veranda, and Indulge — rather than paid channels. The firm has accumulated industry-defining recognition including the Palladio Award, multiple Addison Mizner Awards, a Civic Honor from the Palm Beach Group, and the 2025 RHS Chelsea Flower Show 5 Star Trade Stand Award.
