MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS & OUTSTANDING PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES
Island Modern I Key West, FIL
Role: Principal -In -Charge, Project Designer
This project exemplifies the landscape architect's role in shaping the built environment and enhancing
lifestyle, while seeking to foster through the landscape a deeper appreciation of art and nature within the
context of the garden. The plant palette reflects an abiding sensitIvity for sound water management
Indigenous plant materials were utilized for (heir durability and minimal maintenance requirements, and their
scale, texture, and form aid in the development of a privacy buffer that also offers habitat for terrestrial and
avian species common to the region. The significance of this project lies in the creative and functional
relationship between interior and exterior space within a sub -tropical setting, for it relatively small garden
space.
Ward Garden 1 Coral Gables, FL
Role: Principal -In -Charge, Project Designer
Located ona three acre parcel, the Ward Garden is bounded by eight adjacent residences and fronts a
historic highway. The created landscape reflects the character of an undisturbed natural landscape found
Raymond Junples, FASLA
within adjacent Matheson Hammock, a Miami -Dade County Park planned and designed by noted landscape
architect William Lyman Phillips. Two acres of exist&rg lawn were removed and grade manipulations and
excavations undertaken to expose the oolitic substrate, creating distressed rock outcrops ranging from a few
feel to twenty feel In height, and solution holes of varying size and form within the landscape. The ponds and
water courses that were created were enhanced with littoral zone and emergent zone planungs of native
spades, creating a series of microclimates and habitats. The significance of this project may be observed in
the extraordinary manipulation of the land to create a naturalized habitat possessing the inherent values of
traditional, natural sub -tropical landscapes of The Everglades and Big Cypress.
Five Acre Garden I Mlaml, FL
Role; Principal -in -Charge, Project Designer
Neglected and in decline as the. result of a series of stoma, the Five Acre Garden manifest overgrown and
unmanaged planting's dominated by lawn areas and exlonsive asphalt pavement The development plan
created' by the.landscape architect proposed a-c6ildreri's play area; an entertainment area that Is integrated
with a tennis court; a bolanical.garden with a diverse yet cohesive plant palette including various palm
species; a.native Miccosukee'chickee'; an extensive pedestrian circulation system; and a renovated
swimming pool. The slgnificance of the Five Acre Garden is most effectively understood within the context of
the extraordinary damage delivered to the south Florida landscape by a series of hurricanes that,started with
Andrew 11992 and most recently was manifest in 2005 in Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. As well, the capacity of
the natural landscape to endure and restore is of special note.
Hyatt Sunset Harbor Resort I Key West, FL
Role: Principal -in -Charge, Project Designer
The garden selling for this popular Key West resort reflects an axial geometry that is compatible with and
compliments the traditional Key West style of architecture. A major challenge was to provide a visual and
aural buffer between the dose proximity of a public promenade and vehicular rights-of-way and the desired
privacy and Intimacy of the garden's various spaces.

CITY OF ! IA141, FL
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I am writing to endorse Adan's application to the City of
Miami's Historic and Environmental Preservation Board. I hope my perspective will be helpful to you
as you evaluate this exceptional candidate.
My first contact with Adan Fons was while working together on a high rise project in the City of Miami.
Throughout the course of the project, Adan exhibited a great ability to lead the team to accomplish
their goals. He brought creative ideas that were astonishingly effective in motivating people and
inspired others to work harder towards completing their work. Working with participants from a variet,
of backgrounds, Adan managed to respond consistently with exceptional skill and professionalism.
During the time I have known Adan, he has distinguished himself as a conscientious and energetic
pioneer in the fields of leadership and management. I have enormous respect for his professionalism
and leadership skills, and have been pleased to work with him on many occasions.
Another example of our working together was at the Fontainebleau Resort in the City of Miami Beach
where we renovated and created several new dining and retail venues. As a Principal and
Construction Administrator, Adan was very involved with the details of the renovation work. We
worked closely to resolve many items related to preserving existing structures where possible and
required, implementing features to bring the project up to code as well as working together with many
of the developer's representatives architects, engineers, designers and contractor's to ensure that the
design and integrity of the existing structure(s) were maintained.
I know of Adan's continued interest in programs related to historic preservation and his vision for
sustainability. The City of Miami's Historic and Environmental Board sounds ideally suited to Adan's
needs and talents. He will be coming to you with the qualities of a natural leader: genuineness.
intelligence, and integrity. It is exciting to think of the ways in which he might contribute to the Board.
I urge you to carefully consider Adan Fons,
Sincerely,

Adan Fons and I worked together for many years. I recommend him in the highest regard
for the City of Miami's Historic and Environmental Preservation Board.
While working as a local representative for a major national developer, we often relied on
Adan's strong dedication to the project and his ability to bring different team members
together to find the best design solutions. His creativity, resourcefulness, and ability to see
a project through really made him standout as a distinctive and successful professional in
the industry.
Adan's architectural experience ranges from conceptual design through construction
administration. He has a full understanding of the entire design and construction process
and his approach to projects is both creative and practical in nature. His sensitivity to
design and his knowledge of constructability are the traits that are most impressive.
While working with Adan, I observed that he was an effective communicator. He has the
ability to work well in teams, lead when necessary and is goal driven. His passion for the
profession is clearly seen in his strong work ethic. A strong work ethic which has enabled
him to manage and coordinate numerous projects at varying levels of scale. He has worked
on both new construction and renovation work and understands the complexities of both.
Adan's diligence, energy and professionalism make working with him a pleasure. I highly
recommend him as a very positive addition to the City of Miami's Historic and Environmental
Preservation Board.
