Olive Greens is a community of 56 Plots of land, set across 22 acres, located in - 30 kms west of Ahmedabad. The office was involved in design development and execution for the two common plots of the scheme, as well as providing overall landscape design details/solutions for the Masterplan. The land on which the scheme has been designed is an urban wetland that offers a wide range of important resources and ecosystem services like groundwater recharge, water purification, flood moderation, erosion control, carbon storage and climate regulation.
The site primarily has black cotton soil and is prone to waterlogging, therefore the landscape detailing has been done keeping this in mind. The species for plantation have been selected to incorporate a rich mix of native and black cotton soil tolerant trees and shrubs that create a resilient, regenerative and productive ecosystem across the site. The landscape design for the two common plots includes different scales of gathering spaces, lawns, courts, walking trails, food forests and swales for people to come together for rest, and rejuvenation
