Palmas del Mar is located in Humacao, Puerto Rico. Palmas
del Mar is a resort community encompassing several thousand
acres located on the Southeast side of Puerto Rico and
overlooking the Carribean Sea. The project included developing
park designs for three separate neighborhood parks as
well as developing planting and hardscape designs for
primary streets and intersections within the community.
The challenge was to utilize aspects of the existing parks
and open spaces while providing a unique design. The landscape
architects relied on their knowledge of tropical as well
as low water use plant materials to form the basis for
much of the planting design. The history of Puerto Rico
and the Palmas del Mar community played a big role in
the selection of materials and the overall design of the
parks and streetscapes. Community and client input was
key in helping to guide the final designs. This work was
conducted while employed with TBG Partners under the direction
of Trent Rush.
