Nature's Abode

Amongst the template contemporary houses in this Shahbad neighborhood in Haryana, sits a home that announces itself through a lively green wall. Adorned with plants throughout the exposed concrete façade, Nature’s Abode stands out, blends in, as well as grows along with nature. The greens play an important role in architect Tawish Tayal’s first home, with an intention to make it climate-friendly for his clients. The harsh North Indian weather is combatted through design elements like the open floor plan, expansive openings, planters, as well as a central courtyard cutting through the volume. This creates well-ventilated living spaces that are naturally lit throughout. The lively green wall with planters, the Pooja courtyard, and the staircase are some key highlights of the project.
