Architect Chirag Bhatia of Studio Machaan shares tips and tricks to enjoy a more greener garden this monsoon
With the approaching monsoons, a lively and vibrant mood sets in. Monsoons are always the most welcoming season of the year considering the reducing amount of rainfall that our cities have seen in the past few years. Ceaseless deforestation and increasing number of high rise structures are a root cause of change in the weather and climatic imbalance. People these days crave to welcome the raindrops with open arms. Having said that if you have the space, then a terrace garden or a lawn can be beautifully designed to have a perfect outdoor green space for self relaxation and enjoyment. Monsoons are also a friendly time for your green plants as well as the most beautiful part of the year. However, there a few considerations that need to be kept in mind for terrace design and monsoon gardening.
Covered Terrace
From design point of view its always advisable to have a covered sitting on your terrace garden so that you can enjoy the space irrespective of the weather. In case of monsoons too sitting under a covered outdoor structure like a pergola or a gazebo would be a perfect idea. One can go in for retractable roof which gives the option of both a covered as well as open roof.
