The Edge
Nandagiri hills - Hyderabad
Can we create an impact by including pollinator species in a single balcony? What if the idea is applied at the scale of the facade where the impact multiplies?
This project experiments with diverse micro-scale landscape interventions for an apartment project. Being a small-scale private apartment the external elevations are the face of the project. Each facade, given with an inbuilt planter condition - poses a unique opportunity to explore a distinct planting strategy that is rooted to ecology as well as takes into account the species with high cultural value. The planting strategy also responds to the many functional requirements of the end user making the landscape part of his everyday experience!

The idea extends further to the peripheral planting creating playful edge buffers. The planting palette comprises a good mix of species bringing in a play of foliage colors and textures.
