Considering current trend of development & resource crunch, it is important to use natural materials & eco-landscaping principles while developing a farm house which is just a weekend home. One such venture was designed & implemented by us in Khanapur, near Pune on land spread over ½ acre in 2009. Bamboo – a renewable construction material is used for the house instead of regular cement-steel that have very high ecological footprint. The surrounding garden uses resource & energy friendly techniques while using Naitve plants in beautification. Use of lawns is totally avoided in the garden & cement is not at all used for any of the pathways or parking space.
