Landscape Design Process: From Concept to Creation

This diagrammatic video shows how a 'Maidan' or open field can be designed to transform with the seasons. The space adapts from a dry cricket pitch in summer to a water-filled area in monsoon, creating a dynamic, year-round community asset.

A glimpse into the concept design stage for a residential landscape. These graphic illustrations and diagrams are crucial tools for exploring ideas and communicating the vision for the project before breaking ground.

What can landscape do beyond the expected? This intricate conceptual sketch explores the potential of an urban landscape, weaving together pathways, buildings, and green spaces into a complex and interconnected system.

The very beginning of a new project. The site is a blank canvas of red earth, with a simple glass structure offering a view of the surrounding hills. This is where the process of ecological planning and master design begins.

Site work begins with precision. Here, strings are used to mark out the exact geometry of a sculpted ground mound, translating the design from paper to earth.

The process of sculpting the ground continues. A pile of earth is shaped and graded according to the design plan, creating the foundational contours of the future landscape.

Another angle of the earthwork in progress. This initial phase is critical for establishing the topography that will define the planting areas, pathways, and overall feel of the space.

The process of creating a feature around a tree starts with a simple circle drawn on the ground. This marks the boundary for the new planting bed and ensures the tree remains the central focus.

The next step involves preparing the soil and defining the edge of the planting bed. This foundational work is essential for ensuring the health of the new plants that will surround the tree.
