The Mystique Garden
a gala in greens
This landscape layout is a component of the Drytech Industrial spread in Pandhurna & is the essential element of vitality in the scheme of design. The schedule of work spanned over 2011 to 2012 & involved meticulous planning of the plot area devoted to the landscaping process.
The project consists of 2 garden sections that amalgamate into a cumulative panoramic green arena. The smaller garden area measures 5,000 sq. ft in area, whereas the larger garden area spans over 20,000 sq. ft in area. The landscapes portion’s design seeks inspiration from the very site it resides in.
The extreme climate of Pandhurna that oscillates between sunny & cloudy conditions, made the process of flora selection a steep & tricky task. The landscape components included robust species of plants, shrubs & medium sized trees. It was imperative for the selected plant species to respond well to the unforgiving climatic conditions of the town.
The layout of the landscape feature is based on the presence of a focal ‘sun’ in the center of the ensemble. ‘Rays’ emerge in the form of extensions of the landscape from the central feature. The radially emerging landscape portions are a physical representation of the expansive emergence of an individual’s ideas & thoughts. The feature doubles up as an outdoor recreational area into which discussions & meetings can spill over. The landscaped section is planned such that it centrally aligns with the design components.
Certain elements of the landscape borrow inspiration from a Neem leaf, owing to the prevalence of the tree species on site. A lush vision of the interplay of grass & stone, this landscape feature is a haven for anyone to brainstorm in, while the surroundings provide a stimulating backdrop to the industrial setting.
