LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Outdoor spaces designed
to be lived in,
not just looked at.

Gardens, terraces, courtyards, and outdoor environments that feel as considered as the finest interior — designed for how you actually use them.

OUR APPROACH

Rooted in over a decade of reading outdoor spaces.

A garden is a living system. It grows, changes, and responds to its conditions in ways that a building never does. This is what makes landscape design different from every other design discipline — and what makes it, in our view, the most demanding and the most rewarding.

We approach landscape design as landscape architects first. That means we begin with the land: its orientation, its drainage, its soil, its existing vegetation, and its relationship to the architecture it accompanies. We do not begin with a plant list. We begin by understanding what the site is already doing and what its conditions will allow — then we design within and against those conditions with intention.

DESIGNED FOR

Bangalore

Bangalore sits on the Deccan plateau, with red laterite soil and a climate that swings between intense summer heat and the southwest monsoon. We design gardens that perform through both — plants chosen for how they hold up under summer temperatures and how they drain and recover through weeks of monsoon rain, not simply how they photograph in October.

Our planting plans favour locally adapted species: an evergreen structure that holds the garden together year-round, layered with seasonal interest and perennials that come into their own between October and February, when Bangalore’s climate is at its most forgiving.

DESIGNED FOR

Goa

Goa is a different climate altogether — coastal, humid, and shaped by salt air and laterite rock. Gardens here sit alongside Portuguese colonial architecture and demand plants and materials that can withstand salt tolerance and constant humidity, not just survive one monsoon.

We design lusher, shadier gardens for Goa: bougainvillea, heliconias, and large palms set against tropical ground covers, with hardscape materials chosen specifically for their durability in humid, coastal conditions.

QUESTIONS ABOUT

Landscape Design

A few of the things clients ask before a garden begins.

Yes. Bangalore is our primary base for landscape design, but we have extensive experience designing gardens, courtyards, and terraces in Goa. Goa presents a very different design context — coastal humidity, laterite rock, mature tropical planting — and we have learned to work with those conditions specifically. For Goa clients based elsewhere in India, we offer a clear structure for remote project management.
A private garden of medium scale typically runs 3–5 months from design sign-off to handover. Terrace and balcony projects can be completed in 6–10 weeks. Larger projects — full estate landscapes, hospitality grounds — are scoped individually. We give you a clear timeline at the start of the project and we work to it.
We prioritise native and locally-adapted species: Plumeria, Ixora, Heliconia, Morinda citrifolia, Murraya paniculata, various Ficus species, and seasonal flowering plants that perform in Bangalore’s climate. We avoid plants that require excessive irrigation or specialist care. Every garden we design comes with a maintenance guide.
Yes. We offer focused landscape services — a water feature design, a planting plan for an existing garden, a pergola design — for clients who are managing their own broader project. These are scoped and priced individually. The quality of thinking is the same regardless of the scope.
Every landscape project includes a detailed maintenance brief: what needs to be done, how often, by whom, and with what inputs. We believe a garden that cannot be maintained is a garden that will fail. We also offer one-year post-completion consultations for clients who want a professional review of how the garden is establishing.
