Modern landscape design is defined by clean edges and an uncluttered look. The approach was to
design landscape such that, it merges with the modernistic language of the built. The idea was to do
much more with materials than with the geometry. Though, clear cut grid lines and linearity is employed,
an attempt has been done to make it graphically and experientially appealing by adding curvilinear
strokes at various spaces to break the monotony. A variety of patterns have been made by just using
distinct natural materials. Features like walkways, patios and steps– all are combined with wood or metal
accents. Earthenware such as brick or pottery distracts, natural stones cutting into shapes with right
angles, loose pebbles are of the top choice for this design, giving it a balance of colour, texture and form
as a whole.

Plants used are meant to soften and melt the hard edges of modern architecture seamlessly with the
nature. Bright colours like orange ,blues used for outdoor furniture along with pale green plants of a
distinct forms worked best together. A lush, green lawn serves as the canvas for the rest of the
landscape, forming a framework for garden beds, pathways and patios. It provides a soft, resilient surface
for recreational activities, when needed. A very mild lighting has been done,to experience calmness and
peace while being outside.Variety of palms are used to diminish scale of the neighbouring structure.
Planting at edges has been thoughtfully done to create privacy from the neighbouring properties. When
seen from top,there is a variety of shades and configurations of greens throughout the entire site.
