Mumbai hillside garden,
Mumbai, India
Private garden
This property is positioned at the base of a vast hillside across the bay from Mumbai. The house is designed and built by Studio Mumbai architects and the garden was created in close collaboration with them.
The building sits within a grove of mature mango trees with a relatively wild landscape beyond. The layout of the garden around the house is very simple with the mangos taking centre stage. An ephemeral stream runs through the garden separating the house and pool from an open lawn surrounded by planting. The planting is very simple, limited to broad swathes of a few local plants species.
The pool and built elements of the garden were designed by Studio Mumbai.
