Habitat Landscape Consulting

What Habitat Landscape Consulting does

Habitat Landscape Consulting is a Miami-based landscape architecture and consulting firm founded in 2013 by Ben Noyes. The firm delivers two core service lines: Landscape Consulting (early-stage programming, narrative and concept development, design parameter alignment, RFP/RFQ development, and consultant vetting) and Landscape Architecture (full-service design from site analysis through construction documents, specifications, and permit drawings). The practice specializes in biophilic design and tropical/native plant integration, with stated expertise in connecting built environments to nature for both human and wildlife habitat outcomes.

The firm's client base is concentrated in luxury hospitality and high-end residential, with a named portfolio spanning Four Seasons Anguilla, Soho House (multiple U.S. and Mexico City properties), Park Hyatt Los Cabos, Grand Solmar, Omni Dallas, Crowne Plaza Ningbo, The Diplomat Beach Resort, Arlo Midtown, The Ned DC/Nomad, and One Ocean Residences, among others. The team consists of three members: founder Ben Noyes (licensed landscape architect since 2018, 17 years of industry experience with credentials from Kansas State and I.E. University Madrid), Kristen Jensen, and Jose Molina.

The business operates as a project-based professional services practice with quote-driven, custom pricing and no publicly disclosed rates. Go-to-market relies on direct website inquiry, professional referrals, and subcontracting relationships with established architecture and design firms (HKS, Gensler, SWA Group, TBG Partners, Leo A Daly, Soho House Design, Meyer-Davis, Marvel, DLC Architects) and biophilic implementation partner Plant The Future. Geographic reach is delivered through remote collaboration with local firms, with projects executed across the U.S., Latin America, the Caribbean, China, and most recently Russia and the Bahamas. Marketing is portfolio-driven via Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and the firm's project website.
