Landscape Design
Client : Mr & Mrs Uzma
This is an extention work done for Mr & Mrs Uzma. The clients required an outdoor space to entertain guests, for small events and social gatherings. A Gazebo and Kitchenete was proposed to serve the same. The clients’ are curious of aquatic life, thus a Koi pond around the Gazebo had been planned. The flooring of the Gazebo was made glass to be able to watch the Koi’s swim underneath, so as to make it appear as though one is walking on water. The roof of the Gazebo is of stained glass, which creates a beautiful holographic rainbow effect through the sun’s rays.

An extraordinary “falling” facade home, for a family of 4 at Indiranagar. The facade for this residence became a statement for the firm. The house isn’t just unique in its exteriors. The floors have been split into 2 levels, thus allowing to create that “falling” effect. The open nature of planning, makes the home well connected, inspite of the floor being on 2 levels.
