About Master Planning & Urban Design
We see urban design as more than just drawing lines on a site map. For us, it's about creating spaces that feel alive and help people connect - with each other and with nature. Namma ooru, namma jaaga (Our city, our space) isn't just a saying, it's how we approach every project in Bangalore and beyond.
What We Shape
- We handle large-scale master planning for villa townships, high-rise apartments, tech parks, and big campuses.
- The "in-between" spaces matter most - plazas, green corridors, amphitheatres, spots for both noise and quiet.
- Play areas, sports courts, calm yoga nooks, Zen gardens, and shaded seating - all designed to invite people in.
- Our planting strategies? Sometimes wild and tropical with rare species, sometimes super minimal. It all depends on what fits the vibe.
Details That Matter
- We plan every walkway, road, and pathway so you can move around easily, without feeling lost.
- Night lighting isn't just for safety - it helps the place look and feel right even after sunset.
How We Work
- Every project starts with sketches, 3D views, and honest chats with you.
- We're there from the first idea to the final build. We share updates, even the messy ones, so you see every stage.
- Our goal: public realm activation, not just buildings.
We don't pretend every space we design will change the world. But we do our best to make sure it changes how people feel about where they live.

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.
