Watching the landscape transition post-monsoon 🌾🍂
This is how a dry deciduous ecosystem breathes after the rains — lush greens slowly giving way to earthy browns, exposed textures, filtered light, and seasonal change.

At our Raigad site during October 2025, the terrain begins shifting from monsoon abundance to its natural dry-season character. Instead of permanent greenery, these landscapes evolve with time — and that seasonal transformation is what makes them resilient, authentic, and deeply connected to the land. 🌿⛰️

Designing with native ecologies means learning to appreciate every phase of the cycle — not just the peak monsoon bloom.

This project was developed as a competition entry, where my approach as a landscape architect focused on community engagement through design.

The idea was to create multi-tiered open spaces and strong spatial connectivity—landscapes that encourage interaction, shared experiences, and everyday encounters. These open spaces foster community building, while interconnected terraces and walkways bring a sense of belonging and continuity.

In a country like ours, where every festival celebrates coming together and sharing, can our site plans reflect the same spirit?
Can we reimagine urban morphology through multi-tiered streetscapes and built forms?
Can architecture and landscape nurture indigenous value systems—togetherness, unity in diversity, and collective living—as the foundation of design?

With this thought, we at DNM Geodesigns wish you a very Happy Makar Sankranti 🌞🪁

Wrapping up the week with a landscape BOQ.

BOQs are often prepared behind the scenes, but they play a critical role in how landscapes are executed on site. They help translate drawings into measurable scope, align expectations, and reduce ambiguity during construction.

Completing BOQs alongside working drawings allows us to:
• Control costs early
• Avoid assumptions on site
• Support smoother coordination between teams

A good weekend is one where design intent is clearly quantified.

Planter Bed Detailing – What Usually Goes Wrong?
Let’s Talk Podium Landscapes
📐 Today, we’re sharing detail drawings from two different planter bed projects—both designed for podium slabs, both successful, but each with a unique approach. One features a French drain beneath the planter (done for a project in Mumbai’s monsoon climate), while the other relies on well-planned subsurface catch basins and drainage, perfect for a drier region.
The first planter sandwiches stone aggregates between geotextile filter fabrics, promoting effective drainage. In the second, potting media is spread directly over a drain cell wrapped with geotextile. What’s interesting: both methods work, but for different reasons! Proper stormwater drainage planning is key—every region needs its own solution.
• Which detail do you think is more robust?
• Have you faced challenges with planter bed drainage?
• What solutions worked best in your projects?
Poll: “Which planter bed detail do you trust more for podium landscapes?”

Early-stage planting and circulation study using digital sketching.
This layer helps us explore tree canopies, spatial rhythm, pedestrian movement, and planting density before fixing levels and details in CAD.

By sketching at this stage, we’re able to:
• Test canopy overlaps and clearances
• Understand flow between open and shaded zones
• Balance softscape density with usable movement space
• Anticipate long-term maintenance and growth patterns

Design decisions made early save time, cost, and corrections later.
