This Eco Friendly Home in Rural Maharashtra Involved Village Craftsmen (Home Tour).

Nestled by the tranquil Vaitarna Lake in Zharwad, Nashik, stands a holiday haven named “Terra,“ a testament to the harmonious dance between community and nature. Crafted with a deep reverence for the earth, this dwelling seamlessly intertwines with the surrounding forest, forging a bond as timeless as the landscape itself. Approaching the site, one is greeted not by a mere house, but by a symphony of nature and architecture entwined. Sitting upon a sloping terrain, amidst the embrace of dense vegetation, Terra emerges as a beacon of unity with its environment and the context. Born during the solitude of the COVID-19 lockdown, this project challenges the notion of isolation, birthing connections that blossomed alongside its construction. Guided by the wisdom of locals, artisans, and the vision of the clients who are a doctor couple with a passion for the outdoors, Terra stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit that breathed life into its mud-laden cob and stone walls.
