We design projects grounded in the connections between place and people.
Porvenir Design is a land planning and design team based in Costa Rica, that is primarily focused on long term land management strategies. We work with clients across Latin America to align their project vision with their unique landscape context. Our goal is to guide the design and decision making process in a way that enables lasting, positive effects on the ecology and people of a place.
Services
Vision. Plan. Work.
We support your process, wherever you are. Whether it's imagining what your landscape could become, or a full system implementation; mapping out the systems to support your vision, or stepping into the day-to-day rhythm of bringing it to life. Our work is focused on combining planning with grounded, hands-on action. We walk alongside you—designing, training, sourcing, and adapting—so that each project is rooted in its potential.

OUR WORK
No site is the same as another and no design follows a pre-set recipe. Our projects range in size from homestead sized production gardens to broad landscape water management design. Our team tailors all of our work to the specific needs of a site and its stakeholders with the goal of helping you make the best decisions for your context.
We seek out projects that inspire us, give us a chance to learn, and leave a positive impact on the place and people involved. Our team makes concerted efforts to skill up, challenge ourselves and grow, as well as share our collective knowledge onto our clients and colleagues.
The following case studies give a glimpse into the wide variety of scales at which we work; write to us with questions about your project!
In order to keep sharing all that we are learning in the world of Syntropic Farming our team has recently participated in two webinars exploring the topics. Below you will find, first, a webinar with the team at Water Stories that is a general introduction to the topic and second a webinar with Javan Bernakevitch of Regenerative Living. This webinar explores a case study and the design process in Syntropic Farming. We hope these resources will inspire you to keep planting!
