The Siris House – A Harmonious Blend of Nature, Art, and Architecture

Nestled within a serene setting, The Siris House is a landscape architecture project that seamlessly integrates biodiversity, artistic expression, and built spaces. Designed to celebrate the richness of native ecosystems while maintaining a strong connection to architecture and interior spaces, the landscape unfolds as an immersive experience from the moment one arrives.

As visitors enter, they are greeted by a free-flowing natural lake on the left, creating an immediate sense of tranquility. The waterbody not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also serves as a thriving habitat that promotes biodiversity, attracting birds, butterflies, and aquatic life. The arrival experience is further elevated by the presence of a Nandi statue, symbolizing spirituality and grounding the space in cultural significance. This sacred element is thoughtfully framed within a carefully curated landscape, blending sculptural artistry with lush greenery.

Throughout the site, a variety of landscape mounds, wild grass plantations, and natural rock boulders shape a dynamic topography that mimics the organic contours of nature. The planting palette features over 100 species, with an emphasis on 80% native vegetation, ensuring ecological resilience while striking a balance with ornamental species. This diverse planting strategy enhances the sensory experience, offering seasonal transformations in color, texture, and form.

Subtle yet striking sculptures and decorative planters are strategically placed to add layers of detail, inviting visitors to pause and engage with the space. The use of native plant species reinforces sustainability while fostering a naturalistic ambiance. Additionally, the landscape design harmonizes seamlessly with the architectural and interior spaces, creating a fluid transition between built and open environments.

The Siris House is more than just a landscape; it is a living, breathing ecosystem where nature and design coexist in perfect harmony.
