A response to place.
The landscape is organized around a planted rainwater channel that slows runoff and makes water visible. Paths, clearings and a modest pavilion create places for movement, rest and community use.

to detail.
Native planting, permeable laterite paths and shallow bioswales improve drainage and reduce maintenance. Local stone and timber details are designed to weather naturally in Kochi’s humid climate.
