PUNE TERRACE GARDEN

Pune, Pune — 2024

The Walkthrough

A twelfth-floor terrace turned into a monsoon-proof garden room — lightweight, wind-wise and alive through every season.

THE SITE

Twelve floors up, the terrace had two enemies: wind and weight. Every design decision started with a structural engineer's load table and the direction of the monsoon.

Planted windbreaks make the seating usable ten months a year
LOAD PLAN — 150 KG/SQM MAX

THE MOVE

Soil is a lightweight engineered mix at a third of the usual weight. Wind-tolerant species form the outer ring; softer planting shelters within. Drip irrigation runs off a timer with a rain sensor — the garden waters itself only when the sky doesn't.

Our terrace used to be a storage space with a view. It is now the reason guests don't want to leave.
