This 8.9-acre land lay in the transition zone between the Deccan Plateau and the Western Ghats, near Sakleshpur, Karnataka. The site was abutted by a seasonal steep with a steep drop, dominated by invasive species and had ongoing intensive areca cultivation. The vision for the design was species diversification, biodiversity restoration, regenerative agroforestry and water management.

This was achieved through the design of a series of interconnected earthworks - basins, ponds, bio swales, swales and cascading pools. This was supported by biomass planting across site, as well as the design of planted zones like food forests, living fences, pollinator gardens and wild zones. The existing areca zone was diversified into a syntropic agroforestry area.
