We have just started designing a Farm House just at the TN & KA border. A farmhouse around a temple tree and a lily pond. Carefully placed verandahs and terraces to soak in the 2cares sprawling estate. Stay tuned for more from the Designer's Desk! Project Architect : EcoCollab

Modern Spanish style Villa with CSEB and conventional masonry units, designed for G+2 3000 sft. Strategically placed balconies connected with family gathering spaces. Matka ceilings and sloped roofs with weather coating to keep roof entity heat-gain in check. Provision for RTPV and EV charging incorporated. 15,000 kgs of CO2 emission prevented, we are still calculating the impact. Project Architect : Ankur Architecture + Design. 

The Family wanted a cozy little home in a comfortable piece of land. North Bangalore being water stressed the villa was planned around lily ponds that will collect and harvest rainwater all year round. The primary walling material chosen is CSEB, without plaster. Double height ceiling with filler slab, green roof and other techniques have been used to achieve an efficient building envelope. This 3000 sft home in design has reduced 14,000 kgs of CO2 emissions.  Project Architect : Ankur Architecture + Design. 

The client approached us with specific requirements for a Farm House. The aspiration was deep verandah, cartwheel, sloped roofs, wet and dry kitchen area, ample light, ventilation, garden spaces and unique identity. This was an immersive design exploration to combine all elements. Project built-up area 1800 sft, location Mysore. Project Architect : Ankur Architecture + Design

Use of well engineered blocks eliminated the need for interior plaster.  Columns, beams and ceiling plastering was not required, thereby considerably reducing consumption of cement, sand and labour. Unobstructed Production spaces, daylit and well ventilated makes working comfortable during Chennai summer. 12'-0" high ceiling and fans eliminates the need for air conditioning. 

Occasionally occupiable spaces like board room, pantry & utilities were placed along the western façade of the building, for better envelope efficiency.

These features made the Industry truly sustainable. It is estimated 10,000 KG of CO2 EMISSIONS were prevented by these eco friendly, low carbon design techniques.
