Fernando Caruncho is a Spanish Landscape designer. His minimalist garden designs make use of light and organic shapes.In 1979 Caruncho established his own studio. His first work succeeded at the age of 21, in a house in Madrid, published in VOGUE DECORATION in May 1987, Edited in Paris.His second major publication was in July 1992 in that same magazine after two issues in which special attention is devoted to Jacques Wirtz and Russell Page, written by Jean-Paul Pigeat, Director General of Jardines de France and founder of the Festival des Jardins Chaumont-sur-Loire. He was invited to the first edition along with the great 10 Landscape designers at that moment, being Caruncho the youngest of all of them by far.His career continues with a series of projects in Spain, country which rejoins the rich Spanish gardens tradition with great enthusiasm, gardens which essentially influenced him, such as the Alhambra, Patio de los Naranjos, or the Alcazar in Seville.It is after 15 years of intense experience performing gardens when he had the opportunity to make his first project in the United States, although previously he worked in France and Italy, and continues his long career in which he is immersed today: Cotswolds in England, Marrakech in Morocco, Oakland in New Zealand, Tokyo in Japan..His most recent projects are in Lugano, Switzerland; Isola Bella, a Project of an island in Maine, Fundación Botín working together with Renzo Piano in Santander, Spain; a Project next to the sea in Greece; and one at Vigneto de L’Amastuola in Apulia, Italy.He is an honorary member of the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno of Florence, and a member of the Circulo Fortuny of the European Cultural and Creative Industries Alliance.
