Weekend Retreat
Spread across 10 acres, this landscape is designed as an immersive retreat that balances recreation, family life, and ecological sustainability. Created for a Gujarati family that values outdoor living, the project integrates nature into everyday experiences while enhancing biodiversity.
At its heart is a 4-acre man-made lake with a 1.5 crore liter storage capacity, harvesting water for irrigation. Three aerating fountains improve water quality while adding movement, reflections, and a calming soundscape.
The landscape minimizes conventional lawns, replacing them with forested islands, meandering pathways, and diverse planting communities. A carefully designed walking loop reveals changing experiences through woodland, lakeside edges, open lawns, and seasonal planting of rare trees, flowering species, ornamental grasses, and fragrant plants.
