Yolanda Contreras | Founder & Lead Designer

Originally from Madrid, Yolanda’s affinity for the land began in the coastal town of Rota, where she was captivated by the unique "sense of place" that a garden can hold. This early fascination evolved into a lifelong dedication to creating meaningful, timeless landscapes that speak to both the architecture they frame and the people who inhabit them.

Yolanda’s expertise is backed by a rigorous technical foundation, holding both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s Degree in Agronomic Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Madrid. Her style was further refined during a transformative three-year tenure in The Hamptons, New York, where she worked with one of the region's most prominent landscape firms. This period instilled in her a deep appreciation for classical symmetry, understated legacy, and the disciplined elegance of East Coast estates.

In 2017, Yolanda relocated to Sydney to join a leading Australian landscape architecture firm, gaining an intimate knowledge of the Australian landscape while delivering bespoke, high-end projects.

Now, with over a decade of international experience and a portfolio of complex residential projects, Yolanda leads Contreras Tamayo. Based in Madrid but frequently returning to Sydney for her projects, Yolanda brings a global perspective and a technical mastery to every site, ensuring a thoughtful study in heritage, light, and enduring beauty.
