Maativan
Maativan, a natural building sanctuary nestled on the fringes of Wada’s reserved forest area in India, is a testament to environmental consciousness and sustainable architecture. Located near the Tansa forest and spanning 5,000 sq. ft., Maativan is constructed from mud and other natural materials that harmonize with the surrounding ecosystem. The design intentionally integrates nature into the building's structure, preserving existing trees and vegetation. This careful planning ensures that the spaces evoke the sensation of being in a forest, enveloped by a lush outdoor environment under a dense natural canopy.

Soil & Soul Studio
Nestled within the verdant embrace of a mature farmhouse community, the Soil and Soul Studio emerges as a compelling archetype for sustainable living in the modern age. Conceived as a tranquil sanctuary for a work-from-home bachelor, this thoughtfully designed studio apartment transcends conventional construction by seamlessly weaving together the wisdom of traditional building practices with the ingenuity of contemporary ecological design. The result is a compact yet remarkably spacious abode that minimizes its environmental footprint while forging an intimate and enriching connection with the surrounding natural landscape.

It was the location on which they had their hearts set for a holiday retreat for their extended, multigenerational family. The plot of land they purchased was set high on a mountainside offering spectacular views, which can only really be compared to travelling on an aeroplane, peering down on the village and the sea below.
