About Carolina Jaimes
Enea is a globally recognized landscape architecture firm with offices in Zurich, New York, Miami and Milan.
Under the visionary leadership of Enzo Enea, the award-winning practice is distinguished by its expertise in preserving and designing with mature trees. Enea’s design principles—including sustainability, aesthetic harmony, and client-centered solutions—guide its approach, illustrating how thoughtful landscape design can lead to meaningful, contextually responsive, and resilient solutions at any scale.
From private estates to luxury hotels, urban developments, and expansive masterplans, Enea’s projects span the globe. Every design begins with a deep understanding of the genius loci—the intrinsic spirit of a place—ensuring that each landscape is a seamless extension of its natural surroundings. Through meticulous research into regional climates, soils, plant ecologies, and cultural contexts, Enea remains one of the few firms capable of creating site-responsive gardens worldwide, integrating sustainability with artistry to mitigate the effects of climate change.
Collaboration is at the heart of Enea’s practice. The firm partners with leading international architects, designers, and developers to craft landscapes that redefine the relationship between nature and the built environment. This philosophy is exemplified in Enea’s renowned Tree Museum, established in 2010 at its headquarters near Zurich. A living testament to the firm's ethos, the museum merges landscape, architecture, and art, illustrating how thoughtful design can honor nature while pushing the boundaries of innovation.
