This Project was the restoration of a 125 old mansion in the heart of Bangalore. The landscape design involved restoration of significant features in the earlier landscape. An old water body with fountain jets was restored to its original form. A large reflective mass abutting the structure, worked well to reflect the entire heritage structure, as one approaches the project. Outdoor workshop and display areas, spaces for display, outdoor interaction and discussion, spaces for sketching and painting, outdoor dining for the Café, form some of the constituents of the design.
