A s expressed by Habitat
Habitat firmly believes in the use of appropriate technologies. It also believes that for popularizing these technologies one has to find acceptance for it amongst all strata of the society, be it the rich or poor. This project at Chavara is one of the numerous resorts that Habitat has designed. Built on an extremely difficult site with a very steep gradient, it brings out the architectural skills of Habitat such as treatment and handling of the plot and its contours, efficient use of the scenic surroundings, site and project management, all using mud technology.
As seen by the team
Habitat promotes local entrepreneurs in the manufacture and trade of energy-efficient materials, by creating a demand for them with their use in their projects. Recently, they have assisted two young entrepreneurs, who had returned from the Middle East, to set up a compressed earth block-making factory, which they have used in this resort. |
