Terrace & outdoor living

The best room in
the house has no ceiling.

Rooftops, gardens and balconies in Bangalore, designed to be lived in — not just looked at from behind the glass. Decked, shaded, planted and lit for every hour from morning coffee to the last drink of the night.

Why bother

You paid for that
square footage too.

Most terraces in Bangalore hold a water tank, a drying line and nothing else — some of the most expensive square feet in the city, used to store air. We turn them into the room the whole home drifts towards after 6pm.

What we build outside

Six things that turn a
slab into somewhere.

Every terrace we take on starts as the most expensive square footage in Bangalore, doing nothing. These are the six moves that turn it into the room the whole house drifts towards.

01

Pergolas & shade

Before the styling

The unglamorous half
that makes it last.

01

Drainage

Falls kept, outlets kept clear

Every drop has to reach the existing drains. We keep the slab's slope and leave free-draining gaps, so water never sits under the deck.

02

Load & structure

Weighed before anything heavy lands

Planters, pavers and water features add up fast. We check what your slab can safely carry before it goes down — not after it cracks.

03

Wind

Anchored for the exposed floors

High terraces catch gusts most people underestimate. Pergolas, screens and umbrellas are fixed down for it, not just stood up.

04

Power & water

Weatherproof points, planned in

IP-rated sockets for lights and speakers, plus a tap for irrigation and washing down — designed in, never run off an extension lead.

05

Privacy

Screened from the overlooking

Slatted screens, planting and a change of level give you a corner the next balcony and the road below can't see into.

06

Upkeep

Low, and honest about it

We tell you what each choice costs in weekend maintenance up front — decking to oil, plants to prune — so nothing surprises you in year two.

Three ways to live outside.

01

Rooftop terrace

A full slab, reclaimed — decking, a pergola, an outdoor kitchen and a view worth sitting for.

02

Garden lounge

Ground gardens and courtyards — paving, layered planting and somewhere to disappear into green.

03

Balcony garden

Small outdoor, fully used — vertical planting, a deep bench and light that earns its evenings.

In motion

A terrace only really
starts at sunset.

The lighting plan is half the design. Everything we build is wired so the space changes character as the light goes — from bright and green at noon to lantern-warm by nine.

Light & ambience

Nobody sits outside
under a floodlight.

One harsh light overhead and the terrace empties. We layer warm, low, rain-rated light so the space stays usable — and flattering — long after the sun has gone.

  • Warm festoon lights on a dusk-to-late timer
  • Low path and step lights for safe evenings
  • Uplighting on planters and the feature wall
  • One dimmable circuit — golden hour to midnight

Planting

Green that's alive
when you get back.

A garden that dies the first week you travel isn't a garden, it's a chore. We plant for the light you actually have and put the watering on a timer, so it stays lush without you thinking about it.

01

Species matched to your light and floor level

02

Drip irrigation and self-watering planters

03

Green walls that never stain the façade

04

Low-maintenance by default, lush by design

Questions

Asked often

Yes — that's the whole craft. Decking goes on adjustable pedestals with drainage running underneath, so water reaches the existing slab drains and nothing is glued down against the membrane. If the tanking is already failing we'll tell you before we build over it, not after.
