Landscape Architecture
Available across India
We design landscapes by working with the site's natural features, using local materials and native plants, and making spaces that support water management, ecology, and community use.

About Landscape Architecture
Our Philosophy: The Resilient Garden
We believe a landscape should feel alive and connected to its place. Inspired by India's Devrai (sacred forests), we follow the idea of taking only what nature gives freely. For us, landscape architecture is about creating spaces that respect the ecosystem, look good, and have a strong sense of soul.
How We Work with Nature
Our design process goes beyond just visuals - it’s about working with what’s already there.
- We design with the land, not against it. Whether it means keeping ancient trees or using the natural slope to avoid unnecessary digging, we try not to force things.
- Local culture matters. We bring in touches like Gramam Pranganam (village courtyard), making each space feel rooted and real.
- Water is always central. We use ideas like kunds (rainwater ponds) and rain gardens to keep the site water-positive.
- Creating habitats is key. By planting native species, we help bring back birds, insects, and even aquatic life.
Spaces That Bring People Together
We’ve done everything from themed gardens (like Devrai - A Sacred Forest for a French festival) to Smruti (WWI memorial trenches). Our projects in Mumbai and Andhra Pradesh show how community courtyard landscaping can hold festivals, games, and everyday gatherings. For private estates, we love making personal spaces - a mango grove dining deck, a lakeside lawn, or a restored heritage driveway.
Our Materials & Plant Choices
We stick to what’s local - cobblestone, granite, mud bricks straight from the site. Native plant landscaping is our go-to for resilience and supporting ecology, from vetiver grass for soil to scented herbs for experience.
Some sites are tough - old trees, rocky ground, water issues - but we stay flexible and patient, always trying to let the land guide us.

My Story
We’re SAPA. You know, for us, design’s always been about more than just buildings. It’s that Devrai vibe—sacred forests, nature as family, not just resource. We took that spirit right to France, built a garden that kinda whispers to you, not shouts. Whether it’s using mud from the site for a new office or rescuing old timber for a door, we love keeping the old soul alive. Watching people use these spaces, that’s the real reward.
My Work
What We Do - We handle master planning, architecture, landscape, interiors, and heritage building restoration.
Rooted in Resilience - Our designs are all about sustainability and zero footprint architecture, inspired by Devrai inspired landscape.
Old Meets New - We blend traditional techniques with today’s needs—think mud brick construction, local materials, and a lot of heart.
Restoring With Care - When we restore, we keep the soul intact. Salvaged wood, skilled hands, every old story matters.
Spaces for Community - From community courtyard design to open grounds, our focus is always bringing people together.
