New Delhi – 2005

As I have grown on the banks of a monsoon streams and experienced the brooklets, streams, rivers and lakes in my home town Kashmir we bring in a natural love and poetics of water in all over projects including this one. Rainwater Harvesting and Storm Water Management were the guiding principles for design. Each drop of water is harvested and eventually finds its way into a detention pond filled with aquatics. The overflow from which is connected to recharge the bore well. In this garden we brought in for the first time in our Northern Indian climates plants that find mention in ‘ayurveda’.
