HARDSCAPE AND WATER FEATURES: The entrance driveway is cobbled in Black Granite & Yellow Jaisalmer hand-cut cobbles in 200 x 100 x 100 mm. A raised reflective water body is clad with Tropical Green Granite, which is grooved and chipped to provide a white water effect. Floating Lanterns on the reflective water body have a solid stone spherical base and brass tops. Tropical Green Granite sculptures of 1500 mm height and with a high gloss finish are placed in the alfresco dining area.

No, as such we didn’t face any obstacle during the project construction phase. Maintaining the perfect level, and consistent water flow throughout, on all sides of the reflective water body was a challenge. The intent was to have very little movement of water on the surface of the water-body and have an even cascade on the rippled surface of the edges of the water-body.
