This Eco Friendly Home in Rural Maharashtra Involved Village Craftsmen (House Tour).

Nestled by the tranquil Vaitarna Lake in Zharwad, Nashik, stands a holiday haven named "Terra," a testament to the harmonious dance between community and nature. Crafted with a deep reverence for the earth, this dwelling seamlessly intertwines with the surrounding forest, forging a bond as timeless as the landscape itself.
Approaching the site, one is greeted not by a mere house, but by a symphony of nature and architecture entwined. Sitting upon a sloping terrain, amidst the embrace of dense vegetation, Terra emerges as a beacon of unity with its environment and the context.
Born during the solitude of the COVID-19 lockdown, this project challenges the notion of isolation, birthing connections that blossomed alongside its construction. Guided by the wisdom of locals, artisans, and the vision of the clients who are a doctor couple with a passion for the outdoors, Terra stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit that breathed life into its mud-laden cob and stone walls.
With every room carefully designed to embrace the serenity of the forest and the serenade of the lake, Terra beckons its inhabitants to embrace the beauty of outdoor living. From sunlit verandas to the cozy intimacy of the attic, every space within this dwelling sings the song of nature's embrace.

Lime-plastered walls stand as a testament to timeless craftsmanship, while local basalt stone retention walls anchor the structure firmly to the land it calls home. Within its sturdy frame, lime concrete, fortified with the resilience of bamboo, ensures enduring strength against the passage of time. Every detail of Terra is a love letter to its surroundings, with local wood species lending their warmth to inbuilt furniture and storages. Terra speaks of connections and bonds of human hands and natural elements, a testament to the beauty of community-driven architecture.

Not just the architect, clients should also be appreciated. They seem as involved as the architect.

[@vikramanand261]

Best part about this presentation is : acknowledgement of the real "craftsmen " and making them part of this presentation 😊

[@TravellingOnkar]

When I'll become financially capable in future I'll definitely consult this great architects 👍🏻👌🏻

[@pradeepab7869]

May God bless you. Your dreams come true. Lucky.

I have been watching buildofy from last 6-7 years. I've watched every video. This is the most beautiful home I have ever seen. The, location, the materials, the idea, the sustainability.. everything is awesome. Kudos to the architects

[@marinathomas7820]

These architects have expanded the concept of sustainability further. Very inspiring!

[@beingrational1302]

This is one of the best homes I have ever seen physically or on youtube. The house is so much blended with it's surrounding and landscape that it does not feel you are living in a house. What a masterpiece👏👌

[@beezlebub9]

I agree. The family that’s lived here is so blessed and fortunate - many good years ahead for them 🥂

[@Ar.Gajanan]

Best part of video is masons talking about the process seems like they enjoyed the process what they've done, What a fantastic Project team, The way this project seats in to the landscape it's truly amazing.

[@atif9567]

Wow this is awesome... Hats off to all the architects and everyone involved to build this masterpiece

[@arunbanotra2932]

Its feel like home not like weird modern hotel kind of homes

[@_SarveshJoshi]

The blend of local terrain, locally available materials and in-general being in touch with the nature has made the home look like a home - this place feels comfortable, this place feels like a home. I'm a local boy, and my native home have the carved staircase as well. The home looks so thoughtful, and well designed - and at place - no overbombarding of elements to showcase luxury. I love how it blends with the terrain, so beautiful

[@sharathmandyam6103]

The most beautiful sustainable home I've seen till date. Just imagining sleeping in that room hearing the stream is so soothing. Congratulations to the artisans, architects and owners

[@TravellingOnkar]

Wow You've used stones!!!! अप्रतिम looks like माझ्या स्वप्नातलं घर ♥️

[@anupamsircar111]

Great for these architects and everyone else that the whole thing with so many moving parts finally became so aesthetic and integrated. I am also amazed that these masons did such a great job.

[@rajshreeharde3885]

Excellent example of vernacular architecture. N big thanks for featuring craftsman.. atleast some gave respect to artist.

[@tusharkumbhar2330]

This the home. I like the concept of using local materials because they are made for that place.

[@vishalsawant6216]

मस्त आहे घर पुढील धरण सिन पण भारी आहे ❤

By now, a few more people might be planning to build there by . May I know the total cost of the 2 acres land and building cost ? With love from SAM Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥️

[@jaiswalvaibhav2838]

I hope they are using less plastic products, it's difficult to recycle those products in such a location.

[@mehtajenny6966]

Khup Khup Sunder Ghat.

[@anupamtetu3103]

Beautiful!

[@rd-rams2193]

No thats dream house

[@shivakn2003]

Stunning. Great job by the architects. Wonder how the site was procured in/near the forest

[@rajantrs1]

Sustainability stories are great if one has deep or bottomless pockets.... Unless affordability is there such things will just be a fad among the wealthy Btw a jungle without any house in it is the way to go...

[@subodh6988]

How do u tackle with mosquitoes with everything opened

[@warana369]

❤

[@nutan1020]

ओळी खुप सुंदर होत्या ❤

[@ephphathahomes]

❤❤❤

[@bhupinderjolly6692]

You guys need to hire professional mic and boom operator. It’s 2024 and your audio files are all over the place, which destroys the beauty of the art direction, the architecture. My family really enjoys what you’ll create, but please look into sorting out your audio distortions.

[@poojapalshetkar8504]

it's pretty i mean wow n i live in nashik that's it we are consulting u soon

[@sohambandgar2873]

Beautiful ❤

[@Moviebuff24]

Very aesthetic…. But maintenance would be costly. Just imagine how many servants are required for daily cleaning.

[@mynokia7475]

🤑🤑🤑 this video speaks “MONEYYY”! Damn, it’s crazy how rich people are

[@lahirichavali]

Amazing house and great job in involving locals. A quick question - how is the sewage system planned for the house? Considering the house is on a slope.

[@shardulpatil7651]

Hey, the pipes go down the slope, through the walls of the house. Ultimately, the soil water pipes end in a soak pit. The gray water is all diverted to the banana circles.

[@MegaUltimator]

Lovely work! How much did the whole project cost?

[@_m_i_k_]

You should also add bulit up cost in the videos

[@sridharrammurthy1474]

Whats the cost of this project? Building cost excluding the land

[@andremenezes6428]

Is one permitted to swim in a potable water supply lake?

[@bubudutta8022]

Nice project cost

[@RAVI-qw3xo]

What is the cost of this project?

[@anjaleechiwhane]

[@venky_0007]

Sir my home is courtyard its 150 year ago build by my grandfather now the condition of wada is very good ..but half family is shifted to other city now please where to sell the wada to get best price ..3.500sq ft

[@akshaykill]

What about environmental clearance ?? House is on the mountain slope

[@shardulpatil7651]

In Maharashtra, not all slopes are protected. These are farm lands. Hence one can build a house here. Industries are not allowed

[@pratibhashelar5982]

How to connect with these architecture

[@Pratiksha11.11]

Wow,how to contact this architecture

[@rohitkumardwivedi8573]
