The story began in MARCH 2011, when we visited a small site located amidst the towering masses- as was peculiar for that part of SURAT. However, the idea of designing the landscape for a private bungalow- to create a PERSONALIZED, ISOLATED space and the middle of what could only be described as a CONCRETE JUNGLE was challenging.
The profundity of the challenge was not lost upon us as we started to brainstorm a plan of action to create a tailored space for the house.
The design had to be a RESPONSE to the architecture, and of course, the ELABORATE set of requirements from the client established the conditions for the landscape.
