Any landscape architect, if asked, will proudly state that there is no other occupation as delightful as his. Only he truly knows the joy and fulfillment he derives from working on each project. Todd MacLean’s gardens emanate those very same vibes just as planned by him.

Landscapes Extending Harmony

Design can be reactionary - responding only to current conditions, or it can be visionary - looking ahead to the future. A landscape is a creation - a vocabulary of form and function touched by contrast that radiates a universal spirit.

Valuable contributions can be made right from the first stage of the project by generating ideas with technical understanding and a creative flair for the design, organisation, and use of spaces. A walk into a plot seeded and developed by Landscape Architect, Todd MacLean shows you how his master strokes always result in a space that is both functional and serene. In fact, it won’t be wrong to say that his gardens have a timeless feel where everything seems to be in right place. Perhaps just another visionary offshoot!

Or just another silent piece of art where nothing is overdone and will continue to speak volumes as it stands past several sunrises and sunsets.

When an existing contemporary intra-coastal home, an oversized concrete driveway that circles the plot and an old, deteriorating pool are thrown into the mix, along with some hardscape elements, a landscape architect has a lot on his plate to deal with. Landscapes almost always tell the stories of their past. Thus it comes as no surprise that when the clients acquired the plot next door, they asked Todd to open the existing property to the new one.

India Calls

There is a new Indian aesthetic emerging. It can be seen all around us. It is Indian in soul, yet does not draw overtly from typical styles associated with Indian design. +91, an Indian restaurant which only recently opened its doors in Juhu, Mumbai embraces this very ethos.

Fluid Expressions

Endre Penovac’s paintings are a dramatic dialogue between the control over a craft and the chaotic energy of watercolour. It’s like a dance between his hand and his mind that take turns leading, posing as crucial connectors to the vitality of watercolour painting.

Art Rovert

Art always returns to nature one way or another, whether it’s figurative or abstract and the body of work of designers Zim&Zou, more than proves this theory. In reality, their work which is rooted in story-telling and acute creativity even transcends the peripheries of art.
