Building a sustainable home is not just about using the right materials. It is about smart design that keeps your energy bills low and your living space comfortable all year long.

Receiving the ET Business Award for eco-friendly and innovative home construction was a proud moment. It reinforces my belief that we can build beautiful, high-quality homes while being mindful of our environmental impact.

This 3D model showcases a design that incorporates natural materials like earth bricks and terracotta cladding. These materials not only look great but also offer better insulation, keeping the home cooler.

A night view of the eco-friendly design, showing how features like brick screens can be used for both ventilation and creating interesting light patterns, reducing the need for artificial cooling and lighting.

This design uses large, strategically placed windows to maximize natural light inside the building, which can reduce electricity consumption and create a healthier living environment.

Here you can see the use of terracotta jali walls in the design. This is a traditional and sustainable technique that provides excellent cross-ventilation, naturally cooling the interiors.

This render highlights a design with large window openings and balconies, encouraging a connection with the outdoors and promoting natural airflow throughout the home.

About Building Green, Building Smart

We do not just add green features for show. We use practical techniques like terracotta jali walls for natural cross-ventilation and Porotherm blocks for thermal insulation. This significantly cuts down on the need for air conditioning and artificial lighting, creating a home that stays cool naturally and feels lighter on your utility bills.

The "Aamra" farmhouse was designed to be nestled within a canopy of mango trees, overlooking the Banthamari state forest. The goal was a simple, maintenance-friendly house that reflects a life connected to the bucolic landscape.70
The exterior of "Aamra," where the L-shaped structure opens up to a lush lawn and mango orchard. The design is based on the 'Jagli katte' concept, a traditional verandah space that runs along the boundary, creating numerous semi-open areas for leisure.
A key feature of the "Aamra" project is the integration of existing nature. This large mango tree becomes the centerpiece of the courtyard, with a built-in seating area that encourages outdoor living and interaction.

This residence in Defence Colony, Delhi, features manually sliding perforated metal 'jaalis'. These screens provide protection from the harsh sun while allowing diffused light to enter, acting as a modern interpretation of a traditional shading device.
My work on the Defence Colony residence was featured in the Dainik Jagran newspaper. The article discusses how the design uses 'naya vastu' principles to create a building that responds to the modern need for climate-responsive architecture.
