Spaces That Breathe: Indoor Gardens & Terraces in Bengaluru

This is a view of a home where the garden is not just on the ground but is an integral part of the building's facade. Planters and hanging pots are integrated into the structure, creating a vertical garden that changes with the seasons.

A rooftop transformed into a productive garden. This terrace is filled with potted fruit trees and plants, creating a green oasis in the city. The wooden deck provides a warm, natural surface for enjoying this elevated escape.

The transition from an indoor space to the terrace garden. The use of natural materials like wood for the pergola and door frames helps to create a seamless flow between the built environment and the green space outside.

My studio as seen from the street in spring, almost hidden by the lush trees. I designed the building to coexist with its green surroundings, allowing nature to be the true facade.

The same view of my studio, with the morning sun filtering through the leaves. This demonstrates how the interplay of light and nature constantly changes the building's appearance and mood.

Looking up at the studio's clay block facade through blooming bougainvillea. The vibrant pink flowers create a beautiful contrast with the earthy red of the building materials, celebrating the arrival of spring.

A glimpse of the studio's windows, framed by large palm leaves. This perspective shows how I design openings to not only let in light but also to frame views of the surrounding greenery, making it a part of the interior experience.

Another upward view of the building, where the terracotta-colored facade is crowned with bright pink blossoms. This is a perfect example of biophilic architecture, where the building is in harmony with plant life.

A bit of architectural humor. I see this overflowing planter on a rooftop structure as giving the building a green "hairdo," with vines cascading down the side like flowing locks.
