Location: Dharampur, GujaratProject Scope: Master plan and landscape design for a 40-acre charitable animal hospital and shelter.
SRJM is a 40-acre, landscape-driven project that reimagines a charitable animal facility as a hybrid of care, education, and public engagement. The master plan integrates a comprehensive animal hospital and shelters with a public-facing landscape that includes a welcome centre, café, auditorium, and a recreational lake.
Experiential zones—such as a petting zoo, animatronics area, and children’s playscape—are woven into the site alongside organic gardens and orchards that support a farm-to-table approach. Flower gardens and sculptures further shape a cohesive landscape that balances animal welfare with community experience.
VANTARA
Location: Jamnagar, GujaratProject Scope: 200-acre master plan and detail landscape design for multiple rescue, and rehabilitation centers for animals within a larger 3,000-acre Master complex.
The GZRRC is a large-scale, not-for-profit initiative by the Reliance Foundation, designed to deliver world-class care and rehabilitation for rescued wildlife. Conceived as a fast-track, multidisciplinary project, it brings together global expertise across biology, horticulture, zoology, and design, with landscape involvement spanning concept through construction.The masterplan centres on creating immersive, therapeutic environments. A continuous planting buffer ensures privacy and seclusion, while a series of distinct ecological zones, from tropical to arid and alpine, are developed using carefully curated plant palettes to replicate natural habitats for over 2,000 species.Functionality and animal welfare are central to the design. A discreet buggy-based circulation network connects the campus, supported by observation shelters, veterinary hospitals, keeper facilities, laboratories, and nurseries. The landscape extends beyond planting to include integrated water systems, lighting, educational installations, and built interventions.
Samana House
Location: Jamnagar, Gujarat
Project Scope: Master planning and landscape design for a 40-acre private residential estate.
A 40-acre residential project designed to be a private retreat that celebrates and restores the native landscape. The core design philosophy centers on "re-wilding", balancing a comprehensive program of recreational amenities with a strong commitment to ecological restoration. Using techniques such as seed bombing and a mixed palette of natural grasses and native plants, the landscape is being cultivated into a self-sustaining forest ecosystem. All built elements, including a rambling ranch-style lodge, guest cottages, clubhouse, swimming pool, and a skeet shooting range, are intentionally minimal and constructed with local materials to seamlessly integrate with the natural surroundings. A central party lawn, natural pathways, and a sunset deck are strategically placed to enhance the experience, demonstrating how a functional, high-use landscape can coexist with a commitment to water conservation and ecological design, creating a truly unique and natural sanctuary.
Kathmandu House
Location: Dhakal, Kathmandu
Project Scope: Landscape design for a 1.5-acre site with two family bungalows.
This project in Kathmandu unites two family bungalows of distinct architectural styles across a topographically challenging site. With one bungalow situated at a significantly higher level than the other, the landscape design becomes the primary tool for creating a cohesive and shared living environment. The plan employs a series of terraced lawns to navigate the sloping terrain, creating usable spaces and framing views of the river. The design thoughtfully provides a duality of amenities, including two private lawns, two swimming pools, and two patios, while also ensuring seamless connections and shared functionality. Landscaped passages, strategic drop-offs, and a large central party lawn unify the two units, offering spaces of various scales for different activities. The result is a harmonious, multi-functional estate that balances private retreats with communal areas, all integrated within the natural contours of the site.
