We look at it differently by assessing your specific microclimate—sun path, soil quality, and wind patterns—before we even touch a plant. Whether you want a low-maintenance minimalist setup or a lush, maximalist jungle, our design ensures the plants actually thrive rather than just looking good for a month. ### Beyond Basic Landscaping We don't just fill space with greenery. Our approach starts with a site analysis where we study the ground, the light, and the local ecosystem. At our Legacy Cirocco site, for instance, we carefully selected a mix of Philodendron 'Moonshine' and 'Red Congo' not just for their look, but for the specific texture and color contrast they brought to the pathway. ### The 'Maximalist' vs 'Minimalist' Debate Some clients come to us wanting neat lines and clean paving—that is where our minimalist design approach excels, using focal lighting and strategic hardscaping. Others want an abundance of life, and that is where we lean into maximalism. We often incorporate over 70 unique plant species in a single project to create layers of color and form that evolve through the seasons. ### Designing for the Local Climate Whether we are working on a coffee plantation site in Sakleshpur or a residential courtyard in Bangalore, we prioritize plants that belong there. We use native flora where possible, ensuring that your garden is a symbiotic, living environment that doesn't require constant, artificial intervention to survive. ### What You Get: * **Hardscape & Civil:** From pathways and water bodies to pergolas and stone benches. * **Planting Palette:** A detailed list of trees, shrubs, and climbers, chosen by height, blooming cycle, and maintenance needs. * **Technical Planning:** We handle the irrigation grids, drainage slopes, and lighting layouts, so the space actually functions as well as it looks. ## About The Design Forte We are a team of Bangalore architects and designers who get way too excited about plants. We have been at this for two and a half years, and for us, it is all about reconnecting you with nature through green worlds that actually thrive in your backyard.
