We proudly call ourselves real friends of nature. My partner [Srinath Gowtham] and [VinothKumar]. We always wanted to add value to everything we do and couldn’t think of a better concept than building our own Earthen Architecture Studio to emphasise the natural treasures available on the earth and promote a refreshing lifestyle. As Architectural graduates and ecology enthusiasts, we have had a penchant for beautiful structures and designs that translated into Bhutha. We were fascinated by how we could unite traditional methodologies with contemporary styles—working with an ecological perspective in architecture. We implemented our collective interests in our small freelance projects, initially.
We started our work at Sacred Groves, Auroville, Pondicherry. The experience gave us a broader vision of ecological concerns.
Practice Ideology
The concept at Bhutha is building structures using only eco-friendly materials to promote a healthier life and a safe home. We are very certain this concept will benefit both the environment and people’s well-being, considering the natural calamities Mother Earth is up to.
At Bhutha, we also consider the local climatic conditions and make them favourable for our construction and society. The maxim inspires us: “A home is where the heart is”.
A home is constructed with a vision to spend the rest of our beautiful lives. We want that home to be perfect, eco-friendly, 100% natural and sustainable for all-natural calamities. To break the conventions of chemical processing and artificial processors, we have embarked on the journey to find all the hidden treasures of earth and help people understand how our lives can benefit from the surplus natural resources available – all whilst being able to contribute to earth in return, sustainable and 100% natural.
