Natural Building Consulting
About
For us at Praangana, natural building is all about going back to basics. We see every project as an adventure in sustainability, not just another construction job. We’re here if you want a home that breathes, feels alive, and makes you smile every time you step inside. We get genuinely excited about the process, and our consulting is all about sharing that energy and knowledge.
Design That’s Simple and Connected
Saralatheya sobagu! (Beauty in simplicity!) That’s our motto. We like homes that are functional, cost-effective, and open to the world outside. Whether you want a Kerala-inspired look, a South Canara vibe, or a modern twist on a village home, we’ll help you sketch out something that feels just right. Expect lots of natural ventilation solutions, clever window placements, courtyards, and jagalis (sit-outs) for those endless chai sessions and evening chats.
Materials: Local, Upcycled, and Unique
Finding the right materials is a bit of a treasure hunt for us. We love guiding you in sourcing local stuff, upcycling old doors and windows, or even using site soil for mud house construction. Our palette includes mud adobe, cob, CSEB, lime mortars (sometimes with jaggery!), natural plasters, red oxide floors, and traditional Mangalore tile roofs.
Building Together
We’re hands-on. We prefer the Owner-Builder guidance model so you get involved and learn the ropes. We’ll train local masons, help with every step, and make sure your vision actually happens.
More Than Just Walls
We often host open house events so folks can experience the process and materials up close. It’s all about building a community that cares about sustainable home design.

My Story
My Work
Sustainable & Vernacular Architecture - We design and build homes with mud, laterite stone, lime, and wood. We also do owner-builder architecture workshops.
Healthy, Breathable Materials - Love working with traditional lime plaster walls, oxide flooring, and local wood. Homes with low carbon footprint.
Courtyard House Design - We make totti mane - cozy verandahs, arches, wooden trusses. Indoors meet outdoors, air and light everywhere.
Tradition Meets Innovation - Mixing old and new. You’ll see a wooden lock next to a Mexican brick dome. We like experimenting.
