DesignIntent
Today with virtual meetings and remote work requirements, we are focusing on designing outdoor spaces that are multi-purpose, and even more enjoyable! Take a look at our landscape portfolio to see our unique, inviting, and vibrant gardens. Our design intent highlights attention to detail, and balance, whether it is built-up spaces or natural planting.

Our gardens are well thought out extensions of your home, your values, and your desire to spend time outdoors!. Beautiful outdoor kitchens, select native plants, elegant paved courtyards and cost-effective furniture are all part of our repertoire. My experience in gardening and design started when I was six years old, helping with the vegetable garden at home, and through summer art classes.

Since then I have loved plants and enjoyed wild and beautiful gardens. My education in landscape architecture further honed in on my design skills. Give us a call today and we'll make your dream garden a reality. 415-475-9231 or ruhina@designintent.net.
Services
Throughout our work with architects, construction managers and owners DesignIntent has followed a structured approach to connecting indoor spaces with outdoor living experiences.
Owners usually come up with multitudes of ideas and images into the process.
We at DesignIntent then channel their vision through our creative melding of aesthetics and function.
We enjoy involving the client in the design process by adopting a guided approach sharing with them the design intent every step of the way.
See more on our approach to design, in our Bio section.
At Designintent, our process is iterative, exploratory, constantly improving, and comprehensive.
It is a response to both the client's vision as the end user, and of the latest sustainable products available to enhance the project.
Delving into the design process is done through a series of sketches, diagrams, 3D SketchUp models and image boards.
Our multi-pronged approach allows for a full exploration and for creative outcomes.
We listen carefully to our client's challenges, both as end-user and as sponsor - to their budgetary challenges.
DesignIntent provided landscape architectural services for our home, with Ruhina Surendran serving as the Landscape Designer and the Project Manager.
Ms. Surendran is very creative, talented, professional, knowledgeable, and experienced.
Her great attitude, and ability to work well with others, were evident throughout the project.
Her extensive management background proved an asset, as she successfully coordinated and managed service providers she had worked with in the past, and new providers.
For this sprawling 90 acre project, we provided conceptual design for six distinct spaces, three of which were eating and entertaining areas.
The fourth was a central paved area, called the Midway, which was vast and curvacious.
The fifth was a New Ride whose edges needed landscaping and had a proposed Green Roof that will be retrofitted at a later stage.
In all the projects spanned over a year, and are still being photographed.
Our concept was to keep within the CGA palette of pavers and planting.
