I have a mud house which is 508 years now. It is so good to see that there mud houses are being promoted in today's generation. Mostly people consider mud houses to be weak but they're actually much stronger than the steel and concrete ones.
What an intelligent way of reusing the grey water! Lemon grass, an excellent natural source of keeping mosquitoes and flies at bay; the grass gets its nourishment from the sludge and in turn keeps the surroundings pollution free. We read it, she applied it!!
Congratulations on building a house that is not only sustainable but beautiful. I'm sure the craftspeople are grateful to be able to work on a project that showcases their amazing skills.
@@farmaanandaaI need your suggestion on my future abode. Can you please tell me how much the budget should be for a sustainable 1bhk or a 2bhk house if I wish to make a beautiful house like Manisha Ji has made.?🙏
@@himanshusingh5214the village people are quite inspired to build in rammed earth. It may be even cheaper for them, as they may choose to build it themselves.
Wise use of Natural building materials 🌳 We see Solar Hot Water system of roof & gas stove, but where is PhotoVoltaic ? You state "off-grid & pumps'" ...did we miss you mention of electric source??
What is so interesting is the level of rainfall and yet the dwelling is leak proof. Kudos to all the local craftsmen that worked on this project. So many modern leaky homes all around the western world.
This video made me realize that we have to come back to our roots. All these techniques are not new, our ancestors have been doing this all the time. It feels great that people are now educating themselves and others to go back to our roots. Thank-you so much for the video. You have done a great job with explaining all the details and specially in delivering the message that all these techniques are very well doable and maintain the aesthetic. 😊❤
I learnt about A. Indic techniques in construction B. Waste Management C. Cellar-based preservation technique D. Lifestyle E. Material, Workforce & Budget focus. Thankyou to the family, Architects, Skilled Workforce & video makers for sharing this great experience with us. Inspirational. Stay Fit. Best Regds
I watch your videos again and again.. Almost every weekends. I am 46 now and I hope I can build a sustainable house (in a smaller scale) with the inspiration that I get from these videos.
One of the best sustainable houses I have seen in a long time. Not to forget the amazing and enthusiastic explanation of the eloquent owner. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Love from Pakistan
Wow, that's amazing! I'm so inspired by the Aananda Permaculture Project. It's incredible to see how Manisha and her family have created a home that's not only beautiful but also environmentally friendly. The use of natural materials and local craftsmanship is so thoughtful. I love the idea of living in harmony with nature and being able to grow your own food. It's a dream come true!
I remember all kinds of walls i used to live in. Now i see all in different rooms, thats a great idea to believe our culture and environment ready home for ourself.
I thought to write applaud for this beautiful piece of work with mother nature. When I read the comments already posted, I feel all is already said. We all viewers have got our own inspiration and will to pursue sustainable living. Thanks Anandaa and Down to Earth, team.
It's a pleasant and calming place to live in. A well thought out and made beautifully. Is it open for the public to look at? How can you encourage people to implement this concept of using natural materials to build their houses?
Im just speechless. They paid attention to every single detail of building an eco friendly house. I was so fascinated of the rain water reservoir they built cause im always trying to save rain water on large drums to use for cooking and even washing clothes. I wish people didn’t look down upon mud built houses and appreciated how beneficial these houses are. You’ve earned a new subscriber❤
It's because they must've loved and respected mother earth and nature since always, that they have been blessed with such a beautiful house and lifestyle. When you love Earth, it loves you back many folds. Finding right people and elements and resources at the right time is not "by - chance". It's your Earth and Heaven luck smiling at you !
I never thought a house tour would be this knowledgeable........ Hat's off to everyone involved in this project......One day I'll also make this type of house ❤
I am awestruck! this is absolutely beautiful. a mere sight of it reveals how beautifully you've welcomed mother nature into your heart and home. I have similar life goals and am even more inspired to work for something like this. I am surprised that I always used to imagine I would want to escape to somewhere in the hills to settle, but watching this video made me realize that, this lifestyle is still possible in Chandigarh. Oh i am never leaving now, and i hope that one day when i would wanna build with nature, I would reach out to Team Aanandaa, and guide me through the process. thank you for this lovely video.
Wow! Now I have found just the kind of concept I want for my retirement house. How I wish I could whisk this couple and their workmen to Lusaka to supervise my building !!!
Lime plaster has been used even before the medieval ages in Europe and India. Cement binds faster than lime, that is probably the only advantage. the setting time for Lime is also longer though of course it's grows stronger over time while cement weakens faster.
Wonderful sustainable house. I loved to see each and every detail of the house, starting from multi level floor, different types of walls, great roofs and laying techniques. Getting natural lighting is too good. I can realise finding knowledgeable and skillful a professional how tuff. Thanks video.
For earning that much money you first exploit natural resources and then use that money in making such sustainable houses... In Asheer Grover's lang " kya DOGLAPAN h bhai "...😂😂
@@farmaanandaaif everyone starts owning so much of private lands the build these houses then it's ecological impact shall be negative only . In today's time land is the most scarce resource we have and every inch of it needs to be saved and that's why multi storey buildings are need of hour .
there's a certain psychological aesthetic to your home that is mesmerizing - I sincerely love your taste and material choices. Your house, even through video looks and feels alive - your walls imperfections are the definition of actual perfection; the fact that you did not use the dreaded fake walls is commendable. I do wonder how cold it gets :) I live in a brick building from 1931 in the centre of Bucharest, my apartment, albeit small, is intricate and has many corners and certain (not enough) rounded edges - I adore your home's vibe and you have all reasons to be proud of the living ecosystem you have achieved
Thank you for your generous comment. It gets about 15-17 degree Celsius indoors, and we use firestoves to keep ourselves warm. We have enough firewood because of the vast forest we have planted.
we would love to use the skills of such artisans in homes at some level at least..do kindly share such details. We need to consciously keep their craft alive...
I am really interested into this thing but I have a few questions: 1. Sometimes birds drop seeds of plants on roofs or somewhere else and then plants grow from there. What are the chances that the house can withstand such invasion? 2. Using woods needs a lot of resources. Finding good wood then finding good artisans is not an easy task. Plus the stringent government rules. How did you manage the task? 3. Also, I would like to know your thoughts on the matter of using woods in a supposedly ecofriendly ans sustainable project. Bcz you said that you plant trees so you would know that it takes decades for a tree to become mature enough for construction usage. 4. Insects are a big issue. How does this building prevents insects from invading the mud structure? 5. Digging that amount of mud should mean that the foundation of the house goes below the neighborhood. Doesn't that cause any problem like water logging? 6. You mentioned that there was an underground water reserve. Was that built with mud also? Or concrete was used in it?
All good questions. No birds dropping cannot result in plants growing within these walls. They are quite hard. Yes wood does take a lot of resources. The wood we used is commonly available. It is actually used to make truck bodies in a town called Sirhind. Insects do not invade the mud structure as the rammed earth walls are highly compressed and impermeable. The mud we dug out was to make the underground water tanks and cellar. Not to make the foundation. The water tanks are made of concrete.
I'm looking to build a home using traditional architecture & artisanal techniques from my ethnic group but was struggling with finding a way to handle the grey water as well as avoid cement floors. Honestly, you've answered my 2 biggest questions in this video. Thanks for sharing this knowledge!
It's my dream to build a traditional and sustainable 2 floors house in future, while I feel sad that it's not gonna be simple, and easily available, I'm gonna start doing bits of research from now onwards so that I can build it a decade later. This house shows a lot of variety structures and sustainability of waste. Nice house and ideas!!
Ingenious! Wonderful to see how much you care about nature and the planet itself. Hats off to you ma’am and all the people who came together to bring this ingenious concept into a reality ❤
Very impressive use of nature for an ecosystem living grid. The only thing I didn't notice was power or electricity maybe via solar or what else. Wish I could have something like this ad my niche dwelling. I wander how strong the structure is against earthquakes and gale or hurricane force winds as I believe that is one of the primary uses for the use of steel in concrete structures.
We are currently on grid, but will be installing the solar plant shortly. Structure is strong enough for natural disasters. In fact ancient structures made with these techniques lasted longer than current steel and concrete structures.
Amazing transformation what I saw in ur farm last time !!! Ur inspiration for me Manisha ji . After attending your class got a land near jaipur and will try to follow ur principles of permaculture… hope to see you again soon !! Stay blessed
Beautiful ❤️ what character!!! ❤️ Vernacular Architectire, Sustainable Living, Healthy Living, full of our roots & tradition with contemporary amenities, Appreciating & Enriching Craftsmans, off grid, no wastage.... Life worth living, dream 🏡
Brilliant work. I see so much scope to incorporate in my own projects in the future. If only there was a way to increase density at the same time using at least some of the techniques.
Wonderful, intelligent and so very beautifully done. May you and all that live and visit, enjoy for many generations to come. Peace to you from California
She doesnt cook by herself. I started this video with a lot of hope. You talk about sustainability after being rich. Show us that we can be poor and yet sustainable. Its easy for a few fruits to fall out of the rotten bunch. It doesnt solve problems... Still finishing the video. I hope my time isnt wasted
Forget about these people dear, these are still okay …and ma’am (only to Farmanaanandaa) please this is social media, people will talk, no one judging, it’s happening right in front of our eyes, and you have chosen to go public, so brace your self, relax your fine if you stick to basic courtesy (at least I say for myself I am just sharing thoughts,)…… ………I am actually in complete agreement with your comment, … it’s always these rich methods thrown on faces to keep the planet “sustainable”..just think how??…how?” from the perspective of a lower middle class or middle class person is that even possible?.??…..I mean these rich have psychologically reached a secure space, where at minimum they don’t have to worry about the “basics” living things required to live a life. (I am not at all talking about how hard one has earned or they work hard to keep these finances stable etc etc, that’s a different topic, just where this conversation started, that when one has a good wealth and is positioned as ‘rich’ in the society financial rungs). This very psychological strength gives you a sense of confidence and self esteem, and one is able to explore the life without any stress for the “basic human needs” (in Hindi it says ‘roti,kapda or makan’)…… ……….okay I will share a random example,: Jenifer Aniston or JLo or Beyoncé and many many many more, almost all the huge public figures, these huge celebrities/ powerful individuals, all, they constantly talk about eating healthy/ taking care of oneself/ taking care of your body & exercising/ being happy/ meditating/ do Pilates/ go hiking or swimming/ read books/ pamper oneself/ planting some kind of small or little plants/ blah blah blah etc etc…..but these same people insensitively, are seen dunked into the sinful unsustainable fashion practices by filthy rich fashion houses, …and promote them further more. I just don’t get it….i don’t……I get few things can be exceptions, where it’s about one’s physical security, but what about the other aspects of the life??…everywhere it’s thoughtless buying/ spending of unnecessary stuff. What about the bad habits of a human being???. And no sharing of opportunities among the fellow humans???…….such are the human societies created by us.
in india in villages people do live in mud houses tbe so called poor their houses are neatand clean they have cow , grow their oen stuff and cook . most of rural india was self sufficieng until invasio s and extreme teaxation happened ruined the fabric ....cities contrete developed the so called pucca a d katcha housd distiction happened ...tneylook poor but are more rich with a vient knowledge which is being now revived which was lost delibrately due to invasion and modernization......yoga and ayurveda were kept alive by simpke peopke
Atleast she is spending her Money at right place. And if she doesn't cook and has a maid it's good , she is also giving Job to a fellow Indian. How many Rich PPL wud love to live like this ??? Regarding money. In this channel itself there r example of mud houses at 15 lakh too 🙄
Wow love it ❤…the house is designed with eco friendly materials that at one time were the core grassroots used by our grandparents generation to build their homes. It is fantastic to see the younger is now slowly coming back to that by also applying the intellectual concept along with giving the buildings a modern look. I live in uk and even some westerners are moving away from cities/urban areas to rural areas where they are building their homes using the local, natural resources. I am also thinking of doing that when i migrate to a warmer country in couple of years.
👏👏Amazing work Down to Earth team in bringing up this sustainable masterpiece to the larger audience. Hope this inspires the governments and real estate of India and brings about a revolutionary change in the way Urban planning is done!
Beautiful MashaAllah I am curious to know if hemp is available in your area? And if so, is it being implemented in eco construction as well? I would love to hear your input on that and possibly see hemp buildings that have been made there. Thank you so much for inviting us into your home and your knowledge. It is greatly appreciated. :)
Hemp is not available in our immediate area, but it is available in some villages in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. We have added hemp to our lime mortar and lime plasters in small quantities to give the plaster/ mortar some structure.
When build a house, the money principle remains unchanged. You build within your budget and what you can afford. These techniques are not expensive.. they only give more money to artisans and less to rich businesses.
An amazing structure. I can only imagine the research and hard work that must have gone behind it. Are there AC’s in any of the rooms, or the materials used and ventilation ensure that its stay’s cool enough even in peak Chandigarh heat?
There is no air conditioning in the entire house. The temperature reaches a high of 32C indoors during the peak of summer. With fans and ventilation it remains cool enough.

Love everything about this beautiful house! The rustic look is what gives its character! So warm and cozy! 👏👏👏 to all the sustainability with the self watering and sewerage plant, the lime instead of paint, the different roofs size and materials, the rounded walls, the use of local labour and materials, and most of all the basement!!! Such an amazing pantry! My dream🥰…💯🙌❤️🙌❤️
Extremely beautiful house built with most possible eco friendly materials, design, equipments and components.
Gorgeous, but very labor-intensive. In the developed world skilled labor is the most expensive resource.
You can scale it down according to your needs ! Take the essential elements and modify.

Very beautiful house all natural stuff god bless you enjoy
Amazing the work of the artisans how keeps alive such a wonderful technics and wisdom! ✨
Really, it made me wonder why artisans earn so little but corporate employees earn so much. It does not make sense.
Beautiful ❤️ what character!!! ❤️ Vernacular Architectire, Sustainable Living, Healthy Living, full of our roots & tradition with contemporary amenities, Appreciating & Enriching Craftsmans, off grid, no wastage.... Life worth living, dream 🏡
Brilliant work. I see so much scope to incorporate in my own projects in the future. If only there was a way to increase density at the same time using at least some of the techniques.
That was our aim .. do share when you use the techniques. All the best!
mam you are a queen and what you did is fabulous. it would be nice if i see that in real life and could feel the building in real life
Nice work , congratulations.
Wonderful, intelligent and so very beautifully done. May you and all that live and visit, enjoy for many generations to come.
Peace to you from California
She doesnt cook by herself. I started this video with a lot of hope. You talk about sustainability after being rich. Show us that we can be poor and yet sustainable. Its easy for a few fruits to fall out of the rotten bunch. It doesnt solve problems...
Still finishing the video. I hope my time isnt wasted
Oh I cook a lot. But we do have help as when we run a farm stay we have to cook for many people. Don't judge us prematurely!
Forget about these people dear, these are still okay …and ma’am (only to Farmanaanandaa) please this is social media, people will talk, no one judging, it’s happening right in front of our eyes, and you have chosen to go public, so brace your self, relax your fine if you stick to basic courtesy (at least I say for myself I am just sharing thoughts,)……
………I am actually in complete agreement with your comment, … it’s always these rich methods thrown on faces to keep the planet “sustainable”..just think how??…how?” from the perspective of a lower middle class or middle class person is that even possible?.??…..I mean these rich have psychologically reached a secure space, where at minimum they don’t have to worry about the “basics” living things required to live a life. (I am not at all talking about how hard one has earned or they work hard to keep these finances stable etc etc, that’s a different topic, just where this conversation started, that when one has a good wealth and is positioned as ‘rich’ in the society financial rungs). This very psychological strength gives you a sense of confidence and self esteem, and one is able to explore the life without any stress for the “basic human needs” (in Hindi it says ‘roti,kapda or makan’)……
……….okay I will share a random example,: Jenifer Aniston or JLo or Beyoncé and many many many more, almost all the huge public figures, these huge celebrities/ powerful individuals, all, they constantly talk about eating healthy/ taking care of oneself/ taking care of your body & exercising/ being happy/ meditating/ do Pilates/ go hiking or swimming/ read books/ pamper oneself/ planting some kind of small or little plants/ blah blah blah etc etc…..but these same people insensitively, are seen dunked into the sinful unsustainable fashion practices by filthy rich fashion houses, …and promote them further more. I just don’t get it….i don’t……I get few things can be exceptions, where it’s about one’s physical security, but what about the other aspects of the life??…everywhere it’s thoughtless buying/ spending of unnecessary stuff. What about the bad habits of a human being???. And no sharing of opportunities among the fellow humans???…….such are the human societies created by us.
How does it matter even if she does'nt cook herself?
in india in villages people do live in mud houses tbe so called poor their houses are neatand clean they have cow , grow their oen stuff and cook . most of rural india was self sufficieng until invasio s and extreme teaxation happened ruined the fabric ....cities contrete developed the so called pucca a d katcha housd distiction happened ...tneylook poor but are more rich with a vient knowledge which is being now revived which was lost delibrately due to invasion and modernization......yoga and ayurveda were kept alive by simpke peopke
Atleast she is spending her Money at right place. And if she doesn't cook and has a maid it's good , she is also giving Job to a fellow Indian.
How many Rich PPL wud love to live like this ???
Regarding money. In this channel itself there r example of mud houses at 15 lakh too 🙄
Wow love it ❤…the house is designed with eco friendly materials that at one time were the core grassroots used by our grandparents generation to build their homes. It is fantastic to see the younger is now slowly coming back to that by also applying the intellectual concept along with giving the buildings a modern look. I live in uk and even some westerners are moving away from cities/urban areas to rural areas where they are building their homes using the local, natural resources. I am also thinking of doing that when i migrate to a warmer country in couple of years.
Nice to hear that!
👏👏Amazing work Down to Earth team in bringing up this sustainable masterpiece to the larger audience.
Hope this inspires the governments and real estate of India and brings about a revolutionary change in the way Urban planning is done!
Thank you
What a wonderful idea put in to the most innovative house.
Many people are also recognizing this type of lifestyle. There's a lot of benefit to have this as a family or even as a community. 😉✨
Absolutely
You have a beautiful home. How do you keep the pest away from your cellar? Like rats, ants and others ?
We have an in house cat. Luckily we don't really have any pests, thanks to the ecosystem we live in.
These ideas of sustainability and eco-friendly is an privilege in itself .
How sad na! It was available to everyone and then we ruined our environment so much that it is now a privilege!
What a great work 🎉🎉 and this type of house is also my dream house 🏠 ❤
Beautiful MashaAllah I am curious to know if hemp is available in your area? And if so, is it being implemented in eco construction as well? I would love to hear your input on that and possibly see hemp buildings that have been made there. Thank you so much for inviting us into your home and your knowledge. It is greatly appreciated. :)
Hemp is not available in our immediate area, but it is available in some villages in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. We have added hemp to our lime mortar and lime plasters in small quantities to give the plaster/ mortar some structure.
You should also tell the price incurred in this sustainable house so that people should plan their finances accordingly.
When build a house, the money principle remains unchanged. You build within your budget and what you can afford. These techniques are not expensive.. they only give more money to artisans and less to rich businesses.
@@farmaanandaa ji What has been the cost of land and constructed house in this video?
wonderful intelligent presentation of an effort which is so appreciated. thank you for sharing.
I LOVED THE WHOLE OF IT .
Thank you so much. We hope to inspire many others to adopt rammed earth buildings
Loved all the different technics used in building, and building such a nice sustainable house, really loved each and everything of it
اه...خدای من...چه زیبا...چه شیک....زیرزمین
و همه چیز...امیدوارم با خوشی زندگی کنید
واقعا در شان شماست زندگی اشرافی
Shukriya
Awareness needs to be spread among the masses. I want to have a home like this but I just dont know how to build it.
Stunning architectural design built by craftsmen for a lovely lady.
Everything looks good but is the rohtak roof strong enough compared to the concrete ones
Oh yes! We were surprised too!
We have even placed a water tank and solar water heater on one of them.
Wonderful home ….. you guys are really blessed … you are truly inspirational to lot of people on how to protect the nature 👌👌👌
Amazing work !
ABSOLUTELY A BLESSING YOUR HOME IS BUILT WITH LOVE!!!ABSOLUTELY BLESSED BEAUTIFUL ECONOMICAL
An amazing structure. I can only imagine the research and hard work that must have gone behind it. Are there AC’s in any of the rooms, or the materials used and ventilation ensure that its stay’s cool enough even in peak Chandigarh heat?
There is no air conditioning in the entire house. The temperature reaches a high of 32C indoors during the peak of summer. With fans and ventilation it remains cool enough.
@@farmaanandaa for reference what is the outside temp?
Amazingly beautiful.
Loved the celler ...
And the fact that its divided into public and private spaces .
How we can make our eco house in our 150 gaj corner plot in city ?
You will have to come up with a brief, work with an architect and find the masons. Nothing happens without putting in the effort!
Wow love it ❤…the house is designed with eco friendly materials that at one time were the core grassroots used by our grandparents generation to build their homes. It is fantastic to see the younger is now slowly coming back to that by also applying the intellectual, architectural concept along with giving the buildings a modern look. I live in uk and even some westerners are moving away from cities/urban areas to rural areas where they are building their homes using the local, natural resources. I am also thinking of doing that when i migrate to a warmer country in couple of years so have been watching videos like this to help and the videos done by 2 architect ladies MASON INC.
Inspiring!!❤
Love everything about this beautiful house! The rustic look is what gives its character! So warm and cozy! 👏👏👏 to all the sustainability with the self watering and sewerage plant, the lime instead of paint, the different roofs size and materials, the rounded walls, the use of local labour and materials, and most of all the basement!!! Such an amazing pantry! My dream🥰…💯🙌❤️🙌❤️
Sustainable house is new luxury of rich and elites
When it was easily available we did not value it. Now we have to pay premiums for it. Same applies to nature.
Amazing work. Should be a complete video of house construction..love from Pakistan.
Thank you. You can watch the Sustainable House playlist on our channel for more details of the construction
