Reading Grounds

We design landscapes using native plants, local input, and sensory features so each space works for its people and ecology, not just for looks.

About

I see every site as a story waiting to be told. Before any sketch or plan, I spend time 'reading' the land—its quirks, history, and ecology. My goal? Let nature take the lead, and then add a bit of imagination and function for people to enjoy.

How I Work

  • I always start with ecology. Native plant landscapes are my thing because they’re both beautiful and practical—less water, more butterflies, and they just feel right for the place.
  • For bigger projects, especially parks, I sit down with local folks. I want everyone to feel like the space is theirs, not just another cookie-cutter park. Namma Bengaluru (our Bengaluru) deserves parks that actually work for its people.
  • Sensory garden design is important to me. I think about how spaces feel and smell, not just how they look—crunchy paths, fragrant plants, spots that change with the seasons.

What I Design

  • Private gardens, podium greens for apartments, and whole communities—quiet corners or lively clubhouses.
  • Public parks and urban spots that break the usual mould.
  • Commercial places where work feels closer to nature, and even old industrial sites that need new life.

My Materials

  • Paths and benches made to invite you in, water features for a bit of calm, and plants that do more than just look pretty—they provide shade, habitats, and change with the city.

So, if you want a space that feels rooted and real, I’m all about bringing that to life.

My Story

We’re Reading Grounds, based in Namma Bengaluru. Our thing? We 'read' the land, its stories, and try to make places where people can slow down, reflect, and gather. Curiosity keeps us moving—like that time we wondered why BBMP parks felt ignored, dug deeper, and ended up reshaping one (award came as a bonus, ha!). We’re big on community, so our 'Reading Series' is all about bringing folks together. Little efforts, big changes. That’s us.

My Work

Landscape & Ecological Design - We do nature-led landscape design, ecological planning, and masterplanning for parks, homes, and retail spaces.

Spaces for People & Community - We shape flexible public spaces where users set the vibe—think classic Indian 'Maidan' style.

Hands on, Site Specific Approach - We get into the mud, use local leaves for stepping stones, and let the site guide each project.

Sensory Garden Experience - We design gardens you can see, smell, and feel—crunchy earth, fragrant air, colours everywhere.
