Eco-friendly, green homes help reduce energy usage. Ashwin Architects provide design and architectural services for residential and commercial constructions in Bangalore. The issue of sustainability & green designs gets relegated to the second spot because the first question about construction is the cost. Although most people are aware of environmental issues, still the percentage of people willing to try out new techniques are limited. Ashwin Architects use climatology & building orientation to a great extent to provide natural light & ventilation thus reducing dependency on mechanical means of controlling temperatures. Today, the need is to incorporate green concepts that would only increase the cost by a small percentage. Many who would like to remodel their homes may also want to consider incorporating green concepts like provisions for natural light & ventilation thus reducing dependency on mechanical means of controlling temperatures. Other techniques they can use are borewell recharging with roof water run-off, solar lights for the house, solar geysers, motion-detecting sensors for lights.

Dear Mr. Murthy, Its a very good approach and vision for a farmhouse, but this house is not built in india but in Texas. Where climatic conditions are different plus this is made out of wood majorly. But you can still achieve the same with different architectural treatment. Keeping the builtup area 1000sqft plus porches and all might cost you around 15 lac. (interior excluded) Hope this helps you a bit. :)
