Residential Landscape Design for Private Sanctuaries

This view of the Nilaya Residence showcases the harmonious integration of the home with its one-acre property. The design preserves existing coconut trees and uses the classic columns of the house to frame the landscape, creating a seamless blend of architecture and nature.

To make the steep backyard of the Nilaya Residence accessible, I designed a series of tiered levels connected by stone stairways. This practical solution also creates a visually appealing journey down to intimate seating areas nestled in the lush landscape.

For the Nilaya Residence, I designed expansive party lawns and garden spaces that respect the rich context of Mangalore. The landscape uses lush ferns and natural stone to complement the home's colonial architecture, creating a serene and elegant setting for gatherings.
