Terrace Garden • Indoor Plants
• Outdoor Green scape
A housing society located at South Mumbai’s prime real estate neighborhood recently underwent a massive transformation exercise.
As a part of the renovations, new garden spaces were created throughout the common amenity spaces such as podium, lobby, driveway. The old, surrounding tree cover was integrated with new plantation consisting of colors, textures and pollinator-friendly plants.

Terrace Garden • Indoor Plants
• Vertical Garden
An office within a garden teeming with life outdoors and soothing indoors has been the central to the design and planning approach.
The three terraces were given distinct identities, each providing a specific utility to their views and users. Natural green walls made of climbing plants, tall palms for screening and shade, shaded seating spaces formed the main terrace garden. The central one was designed to give a sensory experience to the cabin viewers whereas the cafeteria terrace was designed with a mix of old and new plants integrating colors, textures, layers to break monotony.
Creating a welcoming and relaxing environment for the gym-goers was the key focus of setting up this terrace garden.
To maintain privacy from the neighboring visibility, a tall hedge of climbing plants was created throughout the perimeter. Fast-growing native climbers such as Thunberg grandiflora, Convolvulus prostrates, were used to erect natural green walls. A mix of colorful flowering plants elevated the overall aesthetics, reducing maintenances and sensory experience of the fitness enthusiasts.
5 huge balconies, in this prime high-rise residential complex, boasting of 5 different looks, was the client brief. Each balcony was given its unique character, keeping its ultimate user in mind.
Personalized planters for each balcony and indoor space, native hardy plants to withstand strong rains and perennial winds, custom-made trellises and racks to grow climbing flowers, herbs and other edibles were one of the few highlights of this thriving private garden.
