Our efforts are to reduce the carbon footprint of our buildings through simple and cost-effective methods. One way is to minimize the consumption of cement by keeping the walls unplastered.

Alternately mud and lime can be used as they create thermal comfort being porous in nature. Similarly, we prefer unpolished wooden surfaces which reveal the rich grains of the natural wood and avoid unnecessary use of chemicals.

Local plant varieties can be used extensively in the interior and exterior according to their characteristics and need for sunlight. Apart from being floor and table mounted, plants can also serve as screens and ceiling hung space dividers. Wasted dried twigs and branches can be utilized in places with less sunlight. We also upgrade and remodel old furniture and artefacts in new and interesting ways

Sustainable technologies
We have explored a variety of materials and construction techniques depending upon the economic feasibility and environmental and cultural suitability in the local context. Some of the materials and technologies we have used are lime, bamboo, earthen technologies like compressed stabilized earth blocks, ferrocement, flyash bricks/blocks, masonry arches, vaults and domes, etc.
