Beruru’s New Bengaluru Store Feels Like Walking Into a Glass Conservatory Filled With Garden Delights

Set close to Cubbon Park, yet firmly within Bengaluru’s busy urban fabric, Beruru has opened its new store on Lavelle Road. The garden décor and lifestyle brand, known for its focus on slow, nature-led living, brings together outdoor finds, plants, and curated objects in a space designed to feel immersive rather than transactional.

Beruru began as a shop-in-shop within home décor brand The Purple Turtles. When the opportunity came to create a space of its own, the intention was to design something experiential — a store that isn’t only about buying products, but about understanding how greenery can shape everyday living. Spread across 6,000 square feet, the store was developed by Story Studio in collaboration with landscape architects Reading Grounds, alongside project manager and architect Amritha Madhavan from Beruru. The garden becomes the organising idea, guiding both layout and movement.

The design takes cues from a glasshouse. The aim was to create an environment that feels open and light-filled, while still offering moments of enclosure. Three ideas guide the layout: maximum natural light, a continuous visual connection to greenery, and clearly defined zones that encourage exploration without overwhelming the visitor.

Organised in an L-shaped plan along the site boundary, six glasshouse-like structures sit side by side, drawing daylight deep into the space and opening up views of plants, planters, sculptures, and décor pieces sourced from around the world. Walkways move fluidly between zones, allowing the store to unfold gradually rather than all at once.

Above the register, a light installation by Oorjaa acts as a focal point. Crafted using lantana, fibre, and paper, it reinforces the store’s nature-first approach. Lantana panels reappear along walkways, subtly guiding circulation while tying the space together through an earthy palette grounded in natural materials.

At the end of the final glasshouse, the store opens into a quiet courtyard. A peepal tree anchors the space, surrounded by outdoor planters and sculptural elements that encourage visitors to pause. “When customers walk in, they should be able to visualise the products in their own homes and gardens through our curated display sets,” says Amritha Madhavan.

Completed in 75 days, the store reflects careful planning beneath its relaxed appearance. Sustainability was integral to the design process. Despite the site’s steep gradient, accessibility was prioritised. Materials such as glass, granite, and metal were chosen to maximise light while managing heat and ensuring durability across seasons. Native plant species suited to Bengaluru’s climate were used throughout, existing trees were preserved, and water-permeable layers help recharge groundwater. Rainwater harvesting systems collect runoff from the glasshouses, extending the store’s green philosophy beyond surface aesthetics.
