- A home is like a storehouse of memories. A space where people feel that they truly belong to. A nest weaved with stories and sentiments - a place that they can all their own. But today is the era of huge metropolises and ready to move in flats. The elements that make a house a home have got lost in this transition. But there are those who do not believe in these prefabricated realities, instead strive to create their memories one brick at a time. This is the story of Akhila, a natural farmer and Surendran, a planning manager from Tamil Nadu who embarked on an adventure together to create 1600 sq feet mud house filled with memories.

Proud Punjabi here. Im always impressed by fellow Tamils that how modest they r. This gentleman ia working for Levis and wearing his traditional clothes proudly. Thats amazing. We new age Punjabis r influenced wrongly by now a days Punjabi singers and try to copy them instead of our modest cultural values.
I feel sorry for modern day Punjab. I feel its 99.99% lost and a gone case. Irreparable for another 25 years.
@@oki484 don't feel sorry for Punjab, they are their best life
Tamils don’t need support of Punjabis.
That's a Huge Compliment 🤠 which many agree and is true but seldom express 😅 Though slowly external exposure and pomposity to show off is creeping in to NextGen Tamilian 😮
@@ImGodSoAreYou Yeah, self-centered people only use others, they dont call it support. Unlike the couple we see in this lovely video.
She called them masons and not labourers. Plenty of respect
As they do masonry job
Because they are masons!!
Importance of education.
Even labourer term isn't derogatory. It depends how you utter.
We call them masons actually, if you work with you'll know.
It requires courage and conviction to swim against the current and do things which are not typically done. Hats of to them!!!
Proud of you guys..
Know this couple for about 9yrs. I know the amount of time and work they put in. Tremendous hard work...
Congrats for featuring here..
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Kindly share their address to look n learn from them
The best part is she remembered her old ancestoral house structure clearly and the love she had which got drawn into the one they built it
Now even I wanna build a house just like my ancestral home which I had long like
Lovely couple. Both are on the same page. Good understanding between them.
I understand the house is really big, but "Just 25 Lakhs" is still a huge sum!!
Alas, it's a great house and construction. The land alone would cost a lot to built 1600 sq ft house.
I use to hear from our elders that apart from Jaggery, eggs and maida were also used for constructing houses in the past. And believe me to drill in such houses was some task.
These things were added to lime for carbonation for acquiring strength. It is a surprise to me if they can do same with mud as well.
No eggs.
No maida..
@@mannazhi8074 Yes, egg shells are used. In Telugu, those houses are called dungu sunnam illu
Yes in Assam the ahom kings built their palaces using sticky rice, raisin, duck eggs, jaggery etc. These palaces are still in good condition.
Very inspiring! 😌✨ Looking forward to visit a Thannal workshop with my husband and then build our own mudhouse together in our Food Forest❣️ 🙏🏻🕉️
GREAT IDEA.A MUD COBB COTTAGE IN MONSOON COUNTRY??? NEVER KNEW.INSPIRING😊😊
Nice video but I have one query about termites!!!! I live in a two tier town where we built a house using the current construction methods and materials like cement and steel, now we are facing termite problem in our building ......
So in ur case, u r using mud itself as the main construction material, what precautions did u take to avoid termite problems
Please answer to my query Which will be helpful not just me but for other enthusiasts over here
Thanks and good day
I love the concept and the house. Wished there was more detailed footage as a walk through of al the areas of the house for us to see, from countries far way. Thanks a lot. I loved it a lot.
Lot has wishes, only few implement and achieve it. Setbacks are beautiful souvenirs now. Happy for you, Akila & Surendar.
25 lac is not small money but all costs have gone up.
Mud house is choice what the couple had planned.
Congrats.
बोहोत ही खूबसूरत घर है 🙏 मिट्टी से अपना सपनों का घर बनाया जा सकता है यह बोहोत ही अच्छा उदाहरण आपने कर दिखाया है या मानो की पेश किया है। बोहोत ही अच्छा वीडियो है , देखकर अच्छा लगा 🙏
धन्यवाद😊
We're looking to build a home with natural materials and exploring different options. Is it possible to get the contract details of this couple?
Good to see this type of Traditional House lovers.
Very Good 👍 👏 👌 😀
These peoples are the real heroes....We need such people and such mindset to combat the ill effects of self induced climate change.....To live in harmony with nature is the only way forward for mankind to save themselves from the catastrophe nature could unleash at us.
This sort of house was where I used to live in my younger days. On the wall mat of bamboo, mom wd mix soil with cowdung n plaster it n the roof wd be of a kind of grass
Thank you. Inspiring.. eco-friendly lifestyle.
You are amazingly kind people
Who built a very conscious home
Comgrstulations
Salute to ur couples, simply superb.
Grt intiation for sustainability.
wow need some tech details about this house also
You guys made me feel like building one such house in my village!
which house is shown in 8:13, if you have the video of that please share that too
They should open their own TH-cam channel and website 🙂👍🏽
Very beautiful house. Reminds me of my grandparents big house, who were agriculturists in Karnataka. That house had a very calming vibe. They used clay pots for cooking. Cooking was in gas but heating water for bath was done with firewood.
What would you do for termites and ants and excess of rain? Overtime?
You need to check time to time and maintain the house well and they built in way that the rain wont come inside the house from the top.
We all should learn from this. And everyone should build houses in such a way that climate change can be prevented and such houses are environment friendly as well.
Nice & humble couple, May Lord bless them with happiness and prosperity 🇮🇳👏🏼
Felt like flying to thannal..... one day... will definitely learn those good things...
tamil nadu people set example always
CONGRATULATION FOR JOB WELL DONE. AMAZING Skills.to Assemble a Team and get this done.Next time in India I would love to meet you both and learn more! An Admirer from Colorado .Usa.😊😊😊❤❤
Haritaki (kadukai)lime(chunnam)and river sand (manal) and gur(jaggery)used to construct
Wah! Very interesting. Would like to know their co-ordinates . I am interested to see their house and learn more abt this.
But the strength of bamboo decreases with time, is there any alternative for this ?
Your home 🏡 is beautiful 😍. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Always a joy to see your videos. Bravo!
Surendaran sir really excellent house happy to see it
Great effort. May you live long and healthy. Is the house not too dark, though?
Wonderful. I'll visit with my family.
Ecofriendly sweethome👍👏👏
It takes courage to choose unconventional materials and techniques while constructing buildings. We often are skeptical how to go about it, from where we get skilled workers or will structure be strong and durable enough.
How will you deal with pest like termites in the long-run? 😮
Please give suggestions.
I am planning to build a mud house in Hyderabad
@samavedkrishna I am Hyderabadi as well and looking for an answer of the same question...
Humble couple! Salute 🙏🙏
Excellent guys!!! Congratulations 👏
where is the structure that is shown at 8:15 in the video?
Please refer any builder who can do these type of projects.
Excellent work, loved it.
I wonder the cost and effort needed to maintain this property?
It would be very nice if they've made the modern day kitchen with interiors.... that will be space saving...
That's how they wanted. And many people would prefer that.
Such inspiration! I wish to build a natural home like this one day :)
In villages mud homes with Wooden structures r Common...
My home upper structure made of Kadapa Rectangle stone & over it soil of 1feet..
Now who ever building new home going with Cement... Bcos of heavy rain it leakages...
Absolutely beautiful!! I need help in Goa.
Salute to them 🙏🙏
How to contact for a tiny house ?
Thannal address is provided in a video
Visited them. Lovely.
Proud of this couple, old is gold. Mud house is the best.
Very courageous & Vintage loving Couples - My Question is How long this will Last in terms of quality given the Tough rainy season - wish to know your feedback
Sir and Madam, My heartiest compliments for the wonderful house of complete happiness and real peace you built. God bless you. I Hope to build one day a house like your house and live there , of course a far smaller one. God bless you ever-- Justice ( Retd ) Nooty RamamohanaRao, Former Judge,Madras High Court.
How strong this kind of mud houses will be?
Traditional houses are the best for living and also for environment.
Would like to attend such a workshop. Where and whom to contact?? No details r given in the description...
The concern for such houses will be longevity of the building. They made it for 25 lakhs in a remote village. I bought an apartment in Chennai for 100 lakhs. Given a lower cost of land in a village, the saving may be 50%, for a life that may be 25%. Just my perception. I also think they may have put in a very high amount of their own time foregoing any earning for that time. Not withstanding this, I feel it is a good experience to try a novel technique and share with others. That way it is not about cost, but about an adventure and the joy derived from the adventure.
Very well with 360° with thoughts 🙌🏽
Awesome loved it. 👍
Lord bless you, your family and always protect this houes from all dangers.
Is it possible to get their contact detail?
Inspirational story.
Great job 👍
I would like to get it done around Hyderabad Telangana
Any body can help
Could u plz tell me what are the things needed to built a mini tank at my home
Really inspiring i must say.
Excellent guys!!! Congratulations 👏 I
It's more like a skilled team of workers who built it.
Is this possible or available in Telangana
RC building can last max 100 years, traditional constuction technics last many centuries.
Beautifully done 🙏
ಗೆದ್ದಿಲು ಹತ್ತಿದರೆ 6 ತಿಂಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮನೆ ಹಾಳಾಗಿ ಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಇದು ನಮ್ಮ ಸ್ವಂತ ಅನುಭವ.
My goodness..i m only 3 kms from ur home town ..i m knowing this news only through you tube...
Hmm its not completely mud and wood house
My house is big and we even have 1 st floor.
Built with mud, bamboo, wood.
Its like 1 story building.
Not only my house, its for most of homes in my village.
Even wall is mud but you can't identify wall is mad by mud, you will think its cemented because of flat and color.
Every house to renovate color there wall before every marriage 😅
Can we get their contact details?!???
Please give the address of the house to go and learn
Very well executed Madam and Sir. Hat's off to the Idea, Plan and execution with the available resources. I am planning such a House. Will appreciate your Know How in helping me reach my dream put in shape. I am from Hyderabad. Please let me know how can I reach you to take my plan forward?
R u really interested? Coz i know him
I love south Indians because they are inclined towards the traditional things
How to tackle termite in such houses?
Truly a divine home. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
After watching this video many people will force mud house builder to construct home in low cost.
But personal experience says it's not possible to built in this cost.
Builder cannot earn money at all 😂
Excellent mud house story
I need the address of workshop and this house. I plan to shift from Metro to village. Please someone guide me.
what technique is used for termite resistence?
In the vid we don't full glimpse of the home☹️
So inspiring
But what do the family do for regular income
What about the children education
Engineers, architects, manufacturers of building materials and mud house builders need to be brought together by the government to study how mud house construction could be industrialized, perhaps courses can be conducted in Community Colleges and Technical Institutes so that more qualified construction workers could be produced.
what planning manager ? Man made paper ?
Im near by to singarapettai, love to see this house in person if possible
Great. One question. What about Earthquake resistance?
Mud house in snow area is possible?
I salute you for your passion
Takes indomitable courage to go against the tide
Truly inspiring. But, "Just 25 lacs". Just !!!!
Love for tradition ❤️
How can I connect with Akhila and her husband? I wish to connect with them for their support. Please help if you can. Thanks
Any one tell the address of this home
I can only dream and hope to built a small house for me at least...
