A residential landscape is a microcosm of the natural world, it is a place of vision and practise that represents the aspirations of people and of society they live in. The residential open spaces have been a symbolic space, over the sages, where the people strive to keep nature close in their daily and social lives.

This project is located in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra where a family consisting of a father, mother, daughter and son who live with their grandparents require a house which is not just a city house with 4 walls. Everyone in the family has different interests, jobs and requirements, they enjoy spending more time outside the house and would like to have an aesthetically pleasing and a functional landscape around them.

With the difference in levels, water bodies have been provided at different places in the site.
