About Landscape Architecture & Design
How We Think About Outdoor Spaces
We see landscape architecture as more than just planting trees or adding a lawn. For us, it’s about making places you actually want to be in - spaces that help you breathe, unwind, and connect with nature, even if you live in the middle of the city. Our goal is to create landscapes that feel personal and alive.
What We Work On
- Private gardens and courtyards that become your go-to chill spots
- Corporate campuses and tech parks that trade concrete for green, giving everyone a place to step out and recharge
- Public spaces like playgrounds, yoga decks, and community hangouts where people naturally gather
Your Style, Your Space
No cookie-cutter stuff here. Some folks want a wild, colorful garden packed with different plants (maximalist vibes), others prefer neat lines and calm with clever lighting (more minimal). We listen and adapt to your style.
What Goes Into Our Designs
- We geek out on plants, planning for year-round color and texture, and sometimes use 70+ plant varieties in a single project. If you want a Strelitzia or a Calathea, we’re all for it.
- Hardscape is just as important: water features, wooden decks, shaded pavilions, and pathways that actually make you want to walk outside.
- Lighting gets special attention so your space works even after dark.
How It Happens
From the first sketch to seeing things grow in your yard, we’re there the whole way. We manage the design, 3D visuals, and the final build - always working with you.

The Design Forte
My Story
Hey, we’re The Design Forte, a bunch of Bangalore architects and designers who get way too excited about plants and spaces. Been at this for two and a half years—some days we’re all over Hoskote, sometimes Secunderabad, always with our boots muddy. We’re not just colleagues, we’re work buddies (and yeah, sometimes our outfits match by accident). For us, it’s about reconnecting people, making spots where nature isn’t just a backdrop, but something you feel. We believe in creating little green worlds that help folks thrive.
My Work
Landscape Architecture & Urban Design - We design everything from big site developments to cozy tropical courtyard design. Each project is different.
Flexible Design Style - Maximalist or minimalist, we work with your space and personality. No one-size-fits-all here.
Plant-Obsessed Detailing - We’re all about drought-tolerant planting and exotic plant species selection, mixing 70+ kinds for lush, seasonal landscapes.
Building Urban Community - Our spaces spark real connections. We love adding local touches, like at our Legacy (Legasi) project.
