## About Earthy & Eco-Conscious Homes

We don't just build walls, we craft them using Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks (CSEB) and filler slabs to naturally regulate indoor temperatures. By reducing reliance on standard RCC columns and partitions, we ensure your home stays cool during the heat of a Bengaluru summer, significantly lowering the need for active cooling and air conditioning.

Building an earthy home is a deliberate choice to move away from standard concrete construction. Our process focuses on bioclimatic design, meaning we analyze how the sun moves across your plot to position living spaces and openings for maximum natural light and airflow. 

We frequently employ the filler slab technique, where we replace concrete in the tension zone of the slab with terracotta pots or hollow blocks. This not only reduces the carbon footprint of your build but also leaves you with a stunning, exposed ceiling finish that acts as a design element. 

Inside, we emphasize sensory experiences. You will find us using hand-troweled oxide flooring in deep reds, yellows, or greens, which offers a cool, smooth texture that feels exceptional underfoot. These floors, combined with raw mud-block walls and reclaimed timber doors, create a space that feels lived-in and timeless from day one. 

Whether it is a farm-facing home designed to blend with the landscape or a compact urban residence like our Madhura project, our goal is to create 'jagali' decks and courtyards that blur the line between indoor and outdoor living. We handle everything from the initial structural concept to the final styling, ensuring that every detail, from the brick jali screens to the electrical conduit layout, contributes to a home that feels honest and uniquely yours.

## About Design Kacheri

Led by Nidhish and Chaitra, we focus on building stories through materials. We are obsessed with the honesty of raw mud, brick, and reclaimed wood, whether we are designing a modern city residence or a quiet house by the farm. We are here to help you build a home that mirrors your values and respects the environment.
