The landscape is designed with split levels and connects the spaces at various levels. The connecting lobby creates a strong communication between the houses. There is a huge water cascade leading from the central connecting lobby at upper level to the garden at ground level. The cascade pours into the water body which is a focal point of the garden. The water body is surrounded by the bedrooms and family spaces which makes it an integral part of the house.
