We have all grown to enjoy the greenest, sunniest areas of our house over the past several months. Having a little piece of flora and fauna in our homes, whether it be the window balcony or the piece of shrubs sprouting in our indoor gardens, makes our hearts so happy. We wanted to raise the bar and honour such houses for their awe of nature. From constructing enormous picture windows to bringing more of the outside scenery inside, to designing a house around a tree.

Here are 11 stunning homes which are a
tribute to nature -

3. This farmhouse embraces a color palette
influenced by the blues, greens, and sturdiness of
nature. It is lush, green, and vibrant. What we
adore about this house is the way Aparna
Kaushik, the owner of the named design studio,
structured the interior spaces to almost feel
terrarium-like. The interiors of this home stare
out into lush, blooming green areas via all of the
enormous glass windows, and it is clear that
nature is embraced in every single space.

FARM HOUSE

4. The architects of this house, Monish Siripurapu,
Ashok Talwar, and P K Sharma of Ant Studio,
constructed it high in the snow-covered highlands.
It was designed and implemented to adapt to the
rocky plateaus and steep slopes of Mukteshwar,
Uttarakhand. Monish designed a home that gently
clings to the mountain as it rises in structure, from
the architecture to the interiors, to make it a part
of the breathtaking surroundings. He was mostly
worried about making sure this cottage didn't
stand out. and as a result of his meticulous
attention to detail in the building of this property,
the mansion progressively grew into a lovely
paradise as the altitude increased. We adore the
cosy interiors and the striking facades for their
unique structures.

5. Although Mumbai's Dia Atelier is a relatively
young design studio, its creator, Diksha Jiandani,
has produced some incredible work. In order to
ground the design environment of this residence,
the architect uses a number of earth tones.
Imagine a home that is created to best bring the
outdoors in: think deep black, vibrant cerulean
blue, delicate bougainvillaea pink. She has
combined and embraced this unconventional
idea. Diksha told us that she spent the most time
creating the balcony because she wanted to get
the scale and direction of the story just right.
She centered the design of the interiors around
the balcony after she was satisfied with how it
had turned out. We adore its avant-garde style.

6. ARANYA FARMSTAY
An excellent illustration of vernacular
architecture with Indian influences is the Aaranya
farm stay property in Gujarat. One of the most
incredible celebrations of Mother Nature you will
witness today is at this resort in Gujarat, which
was inspired by the surrounding landscape. This
resort's red-tiled, low-sweeping roof is a
trademark of architect Himanshu Patel of the
"d6thD" design firm, located in Ahemdabad. With
the overt notion of vernacular architecture in
mind, Himanshu's company is recognized for
taking on projects where they can develop
sustainable methods of living.

7. RESIDENCE BY DE-
EARTH
This 3,050 square foot home in Kerala is unique
for its simplicity and was inspired by the rich
wealth of the state. Founder and Partner of De
Earth and architect Vivek PP integrates the
outdoors right into the center of the living areas.
We adore it for its unassuming architectural
design, the grounded interiors, and the
approachable aesthetic. This home's simplicity
jumps out and is in tune with the natural
surroundings because of its extremely restrained
character.

8. Four people may live in this Ahmedabad mansion,
which is situated on a 47,700 square foot land.
While the 18,500 square foot home itself is
rather spacious, the landscape and bungalow
were created to reflect a blend of modern and
classic architectural elements. Unquestionably,
this is one of the most breathtaking homes we've
ever seen, but in our opinion, what makes it
genuinely unique are the architectural features
that bring nature right into the center of the
house. Playing with scale, expanse, patterns,
texture, and color is what Toyam and his
collaborators have done, and the meticulous way
in which they have done it draws attention to the
beautiful, well-kept nature that surrounds this
residence. It's a really clever design!

9. RESIDENCE BY RGP
DESIGN STUDIO
We are often perplexed by the idea that Rachana
Maroli is fresh to the realm of Indian architecture.
This young architect, who is located in Mangalore,
has a strong background in local architecture and
is continually modernizing it to make it elegant and
trendy. She created a project in her hometown
that is reminiscent of the traditional Guthu mane,
a typical Mangalorean house. But in her own
special way, she has boldly spoken about the
fundamental components of this ancient
framework.

10. HOME BY KAVAN
SHAH
Kavan's work is captivating because of the layers
of distressed-inspired design elements and old
patina he enjoys including. The unique manner in
which Kavan praises nature across all of his work is
another, and perhaps more important, aspect of
what makes his work compelling. This home, which
is 1,200 square feet in size, is a celebration of
simple living that is motivated by nature. The
simple architecture of this house, which is situated
on Kihim Beach in Alibaug, honors nature in one of
the most creative ways we've ever seen!

11. HOME BY
KARISHMA BAJAJ
The house where Karishma Bajaj lives in is an old
Portuguese building that has been meticulously
restored. She can see peacocks and occasionally
wild boars from her house. She falls asleep while
listening to this lullaby and awakes to the distant
sounds of the sea's crashing waves. Karishma
takes great pride in her traditional Goan house,
complete with sloping red tiles, red mud porch
benches, and old-fashioned steps leading up to
the door. These cherished traditional design
components are treasured by Karishma.

12. This Bhopal home by designer Priti Tatiya is
constructed around a mango tree and has one of
the most beautiful sky windows we've ever seen. It
is dressed to mirror the rich traditional arts of
India. Priti's passionate love for nature inspired the
design of a house that best embraces the
outdoors and all things natural. This designer's
expertise of design and enthusiasm for nature
have found common ground in this home, which
includes texture, materials, color scheme, and
setting. We adore the size, the color vibrancy, and
how calming everything is. And this house genuinely
encapsulates everything we like about indoor-
outdoor living spaces.

13. This house is a reflection of the owners' Keralan
cultural heritage, brought to Delhi's tropical
climate, and their commitment to sustainable
living. One's first exposure to the home's
connection to nature is a water feature at the
entry and lush foliage all around. A tangle of
interconnecting courtyards, broad verandahs,
pitched tiled roofs, and double-height rooms
maximize cross-ventilation and reduce the need
for air conditioning. The building materials used in
the home, which are primarily acquired locally,
range from bricks and lumber to Cudappah
stone. It was planned to use standard roof tiles in
the anticipation that low-cost solar tiles will
eventually replace them.
