Landscape Design & Garden Spaces
We believe the landscape is a vital extension of your living room, not an accessory. We design gardens, terraces, and courtyards that blur the boundaries between where your home ends and nature begins.
For the House of Terraces, I transformed a carport roof into this sloping green lawn. This design choice creates an elevated garden that blends seamlessly with its surroundings, offering a unique perspective and a private green space that feels both natural and intentional.
The entrance to the House of Terraces is framed by lush greenery and a sculpted metal screen. This landscape gesture sets the rhythm for arrival, creating a private foyer that quietly unfolds as you approach the home.
Here, the House of Terraces appears to float on a bed of green. I used varying shades and heights of plants, from cascading vines to tall grasses, to create a lush, layered effect that nurtures the architecture and integrates it with the site.

I see the soil as a drawing board. This stepped pathway ascends into a small, wild bed of greens, visually demarcating the entrance of the home while creating a beautiful moment of discovery.
A quiet moment where nature and architecture meet. A bird rests on a branch, framed against the clean, brutalist lines of the concrete building, a perfect example of the biophilic harmony I strive for in my projects.
This landscape courtyard finds harmony between the wild and the tamed. A white gravel court provides a minimalist canvas for thoughtfully placed trees in concrete planters, creating a serene and contemplative office landscape.
About this collection
Many clients assume they lack the footprint for a lush garden, but we often look upward or inward. Transforming a carport roof into a sloping lawn or carving out a sunken courtyard can redefine your floor plan, turning overlooked areas into private, vibrant retreats that pull nature directly into your living room.
How We Approach Your Landscape
We treat the ground as a drawing board. For us, a successful landscape project isn't just about planting trees, it is about climate orientation, soil quality, and how the light hits your facade throughout the day. When we begin, we look at the 'as-built' conditions of your home to see how we can integrate hardscape and softscape to create a consistent, living experience.
The Design Philosophy
- Seamless Transitions: We use large openings, level alignments, and deliberate sightlines so that when you look out from your bedroom or living area, the garden feels like a continuous part of the room.
- Materiality: We balance the wild with the tamed. Whether it is using raw concrete planters, corten steel screens, or white gravel courts, our materials are chosen to age gracefully alongside the plants.
- Purposeful Planting: We focus on tropical and local species that thrive in your microclimate, using layered planting to create privacy screens and shaded micro-environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you design landscapes for small apartments? Yes. We specialize in balcony gardens, terrace makeovers, and courtyards. We treat small spaces with the same rigor as large villa grounds.
Do you handle the civil works involved in landscape design? We handle everything from civil changes like flooring and water-proofing for terraces to the placement of planters and drainage systems. We coordinate with structural teams to ensure feasibility, especially for rooftop gardens.
How do you maintain privacy in a garden? We use strategic layering of tall grasses, shrubs, and architectural screens to create natural barriers that feel inviting rather than walled-off.
