Sustainable Architecture and Natural Home Designs

This is the oculus of an ornamental brick dome we created for a meditation space. The intricate corbelled brickwork is not just structural but also sculptural, playing with light and shadow to create a serene, inspiring atmosphere.

Our design process begins with detailed drawings like this cross-section. Here, we blend Rajasthani wooden arches with Kerala-style seating, clearly mapping out the use of natural materials like burnt brick vaults and stone slabs to create a unique, culturally rich home.

We believe in using materials that are kind to the earth. This video shows the preparation of our mud-lime GGBS concrete, an innovative and sustainable alternative to cement that we use for foundations, ensuring strength and a lower carbon footprint from the very start.

A home should be beautiful in all seasons. Here is our Basavanagudi 'Thotti mane' during a monsoon shower, showcasing how the Mangalore tile roof, exposed laterite masonry, and lime plaster walls stand gracefully against the elements.

Simplicity is at the core of our design philosophy. In this corner of the Doddaballapura mud house, the earthy mud plaster walls, reclaimed wooden door with colored glass, and patterned tile floor come together to create a space that is both humble and full of character.

This dining nook in our Udupi project features built-in seating made from red oxide, a classic South Indian flooring and seating material. Paired with a vaulted ceiling of clay tiles and wood, it creates a cozy, nostalgic space for family gatherings.

This clip shows the raw beauty of our structures during construction. You can see the formation of exposed brick jack arches and vaults, fundamental elements of our load-bearing designs that are both structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing.
