Nature is not something to be
preserved or observed from a
distance. It is something to be
experienced and felt.
— Roberto Burle Marx

The Design Process.
At Land Design Landscape Architects, every masterpiece begins with the land itself- its contours, climate, and culture. Through thoughtful collaboration with clients and consultants, we transform ideas into refined concepts and precise drawings, ensuring each project evolves seamlessly from vision to execution. The result: landscapes that are as functional as they are timeless.
Projects.
New Technology Centre (Shell campus)
BANGALORE
Project Status — Completed
This campus caters to the South East Asian region, and its design draws inspiration from the rich cultural essence of the area. The central courtyard serves as a calming retreat within a disciplined work environment, acting as a natural stress reliever. The guiding principle, “Colours of the East,” is reflected in every design detail, celebrating vibrancy and harmony. The execution was carried out with meticulous precision, achieving a result true to the CGI vision. A hand-picked and finely chiseled rock marks the entry — an abstract form inviting each onlooker to interpret it through their own imagination.
The 1,00,000 sq.m. podium garden has been designed using a combination of natural stone and clay pavers, lending it a warm, earthy character. The planting palette was thoughtfully curated to create a strong connection between users and nature, while carefully considering the structural implications of each species selected.
The Lotus Court is conceived as an abstraction of India- its form inspired by the national flower, the lotus. The stepped edges leading to the central waterbody evoke the ghats and stepwells found across the country, symbolizing a seamless blend of culture, spirituality, and landscape.
The overall landscape of the campus is a tribute to the country’s local materials, meticulously crafted by skilled local artisans. The design is deeply rooted in culture and enriched with features such as herb gardens, textured paving patterns, and thoughtfully detailed elements.
MUMBAI
Project Status — Ongoing
Located in the ever-hustling city of Mumbai, this landscape offers a resting nest wrapped in luxury and lush greens. Tucked away in the heart of Mumbai, it’s where the noise fades and the calm begins. Think morning coffee with sky-high views, evening strolls through landscaped gardens, and a home that feels like a deep breath in the middle of the city’s rush. Here, serenity isn’t a weekend escape — it’s your everyday.
KARJAT
Project Status — Completed
Nestled at the foothills of the mighty Sahyadri mountain range, Oleander Farms feels like a world apart — a place where the city’s noise fades and nature takes center stage. Spread across 108 acres, every corner of the landscape tells a story of local materials, skilled craftsmanship, and thoughtful design that connects you to the land. Sustainability lies at the heart of it all, from the carefully chosen materials to the smallest design details, ensuring that the site remains in harmony with its surroundings.
As you wander along meandering pathways, the lush greenery, curated gardens, and majestic trees reveal themselves gradually, each turn offering a new perspective, a moment to pause and breathe. The pool, framed by the mountains, reflects the sky and the surrounding landscape, creating a quiet sanctuary for reflection. Nearby, the dining area sits nestled between verdant lawns and grand trees, inviting you to enjoy meals immersed in nature, whether it’s a family gathering, a celebration, or a quiet moment alone.
Every element — textured paving, natural stone features, cozy seating pockets — is designed to enhance the feeling of being present, to create spaces that are both visually beautiful and emotionally soothing. Oleander Farms is not just a retreat; it’s an experience. A place to reconnect with loved ones, celebrate life’s moments, host meaningful events, or simply step away from the world and let nature rejuvenate your senses. Here, luxury and the timeless beauty of the Sahyadri foothills exist in perfect harmony, offering an escape that lingers long after you leave.
