Green Homes-Green Projects

Green Homes-Green Projects
a image of green homes and eco friendly homes

A number of projects of the firm are green homes, which effectively use the green building techniques for developing “energy conscious homes”. The planning is mostly courtyard based, in response to the local climate ensuring maximum daylighting, ventilation. The construction material used are as specified by IGBC, to ensure a LEED rating. The building techniques involve solar passive design, filler slab construction, autoclave concrete block, compressed earth blocks, brick bat coba, plastering in vermiculite, to ensure thermal insulation, use of heat effective glass and UPVC frames to minimize the airconditioning and numerous other techniques.

Adobe Construction  


Adobe is a natural building material made from sand, clay, water, and some kind of fibrous or organic material (sticks, straw, and/or manure), which the builders shape into bricks (using frames) and dry in the sun. Adobe buildings are similar to cob and mudbrick buildings. Adobe structures are extremely durable, and account for some of the oldest existing buildings in the world. In hot climates, compared with wooden buildings, adobe buildings offer significant advantages due to their greater thermal mass, but they are known to be particularly susceptible to earthquake damage.
 
Buildings made of sun-dried earth are common in West Asia, North Africa, West Africa South America, southwestern North America, Spain , Eastern Europe and East Anglia, particularly Norfolk, known as 'clay lump.Adobe had been in use by indigenous peoples of the Americas in the Southwestern United States, Mesoamerica, and the Andean region of South America for several thousand years, although often substantial amounts of stone are used in the walls of Pueblo buildings. (Also, the Pueblo people built their adobe structures with handfuls or basketfuls of adobe, until the Spanish introduced them to the making of bricks.) Adobe brickmaking was used in Spain starting by the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age, from the eighth century B.C. on. Its wide use can be attributed to its simplicity of design and manufacture, and the economy of creating it.


A distinction is sometimes made between the smaller adobes, which are about the size of ordinary baked bricks, and the larger adobines, some of which may be one to two yards (1–2 m) long.

Eco-friendly homes


Eco-friendly homes

Eco-friendly homes are a latest trend emerging in real estate business. Builders and developers are concentrating in constructing Eco-friendly homes or building. In India, the demand for houses, apartments, shopping malls, commercial complexes etc. are on the rise. The demand for Eco-friendly homes or apartments is rising in major cities such as Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi-NCR, Mumbai and Hyderabad.  
 
Eco-friendly homes are normally built with the aim of reducing environmental waste, minimizing pollution, and reducing negative effects on human health.
 A major goal of eco-friendly home or building is reducing the consumption of natural resources as much as possible. Many countries today are adopting green building standards for all designers and builders of eco-friendly homes.

 Now the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has introduced a system of rating green homes. This system is India’s first foray in the sector. Architects and builders have begun using green principles like water harvesting and waste management in their projects. They emphasize the use of eco friendly building materials and lighting common areas based on solar energy.

A WORD BY THE ARCHITECT:


You employ stone, wood and concrete, and with these materials you build houses & palaces, that is construction. But suddenly You touch my heart.......and I say, “This is beautiful”---------that is architecture”.
Years ago, the great architects, all over the world were applauded for buildings that took the natural environment into its integral design -------Frank Lloyd Wright being a pioneer, Today, the responsibility on us, architects, is far greater; with so much havoc been wrought to the earth’s natural resources already, its time to put a stop to this depletion. We need to design and construct sustainable buildings and even go  a step further and educate our local populance about the wisdom of the green building movement. Each city counts, each building counts, each drop counts.
India is poised for a major growth in the GREEN BUILDING sector and development on these lines will go a long way in contributing to the ecological of the country. It was important for our firm, IMARAT, to lead the way with sustainable construction of our own office building, because persuading our clients on the advantages of GREEN BUILDING it was imperative for our office building to be a role model.
We have always believed in VISION & INNOVATION. My goal is creating spaces that inspire us to strive for a higher consciousness. Our design approach seeks an amalgamation of eco effectiveness, sustainable development, functional convenience and visual appeal,
IMARAT “---- building dreams”.
