What goes inside the structures you live in?

Project earth by basics studio.jpeg

Every structure tells a unique story of eco-friendly innovation. For the past six years, we’ve been dedicated to shaping a greener future through alternative construction techniques that prioritize environmental harmony and conscious living. Explore our projects below, each a testament to our commitment to a more sustainable and mindful approach to building.

Filler slabs

Using this as an alternative to the conventional RCC slabs ensures proper daylight and also creates interesting shadow patterns throughout the day. Concrete used in this technique is 20% less and hence the self-weight of the slab is reduced and 30% less steel is required without compromising the strength of the slab. By incorporating lightweight materials within the concrete slab, we not only reduce the overall weight but also minimize material consumption, promoting a balance between aesthetics and environmental responsibility.

Rammed earth

Rooted in time-tested methodology, rammed earth construction involves the precise compaction of the earth to form load-bearing walls. This approach not only harnesses the thermal mass properties of the earth but also minimizes embodied energy. Our rammed earth structures harmonize with the natural environment, showcasing a blend of heritage techniques and contemporary sustainability.

Mud construction

Our adobe constructions artfully integrate earth, water, and organic fibers, embodying a synthesis of tradition and innovation. Engineered for energy efficiency, adobe structures provide thermal comfort and a low carbon footprint. The careful curation of natural materials ensures not only architectural integrity but also an enduring commitment to environmentally conscious design.

Jali walls

Jali, derived from the Urdu word “jal” (meaning net), encapsulates the essence of intricate perforated screens that have adorned architecture throughout history. Rooted in the rich cultural tapestry of various civilizations, Jali screens serve both decorative and functional purposes, allowing a delicate interplay of light and shadow.
