If it can't have a garden, we won't do it says Shibanee & Kamal Architects

Bangalore-based studio Shibanee & Kamal Architects explains why gardens are central to how it designs housing projects in one of India's most densely populated cities, in this exclusive video produced by Dezeen.

Gardens form the starting point for the practice's residential work, shaping everything from layout and massing to how projects are delivered.

"Every single home that we build has a garden – if it can't have a garden, we won't do it," the practice told Dezeen in an exclusive video interview.
