18. Waghoba ecolodge is a resort
contiguous to the forest buffer
of Tadoba wildlife sanctuary in
the state of Maharashtra India.
❏ The target clientele for
the property is wildlife
enthusiasts and
conservationists.
❏ 16-cottage resort with
responsible tourism at its
core.
AIM
❏ Developers sought to restore the previously cultivated land to its original state of being a deciduous forest
as part of their ecological intentions.
❏ Required interventions in the landscape to enhance biodiversity. By observing the land around and through
a biodiversity survey local flora and fauna were identified.
INTRO

19. PROBLEMS
❏ For biodiversity to flourish it was essential to incorporate a
water body in the semi-arid climate of this region.
❏ In the summer temperature here rises to 48-degree C.
SOLUTION IDEAS
❏ By identifying the existing bund and desilting the channels
a lake was made at the entrance of the resort.
❏ This lake stored the rainwater and treated wastewater.
❏ Additional afforestation with indigenous plant species
provides a green corridor for the fauna to approach the
lake. This lake now is home to a plethora of birds and
animals.
❏ A lookout hide has been introduced in the design for
enthusiasts and professional wildlife photographers to
watch the fauna in its own habitat.

20. ❏ The material palette is a
combination of local
sandstone and stabilized
adobes made at the site
using local soil.
❏ Capturing of the gold to
brown hue has been done
in the material palette of
the architectural
interventions.
❏ Lake becomes the loci of the
project.
❏ The travelers also enjoy the rising
sun when they are getting ready
to leave for the forest tour.
❏ Belvederes along the dining area
and the lounge enjoy views of the
lake, forest, and the evening
skies.
FEATURES

21. GUEST AREA FEATURES
❏ As the peak season for safaris is summer the buildings are
designed to reduce the cooling loads by using passive
strategies.
❏ Composite stone and adobe walls on the east and west side
reduce the heat gain. Toilet and the changing area shield the
room from the western sun.
❏ A small skylit roof with heat reflective glass near the vanity wash
basins brings in an ample amount of light inside the toilet area.
❏ A vaulted roof made of conical pottery tiles with air gaps
between and ceramic mosaic on top insulates the interior
spaces from the incidental heat from the rooftop.
❏ The interior finishes of the guest areas continue the same color
palette of light to dark brown and terracotta reds.
❏ The floor with golden brown Kota (limestone) blends well with
the adobe walls.

22. GUEST AREA FEATURES
❏ All the sewage water from the property is treated
using a plant-based water treatment system and
is subsequently used for growing the organic
vegetables and the forest on the property.
❏ The use of terracotta either as filler in the RCC
slabs or roofs and are produced in the village and
local areas and use the desilted soil from the
lakes.
CONCLUSION
❏ Since most buildings even in the rural area are adopting
RCC construction these skills are dying out.
❏ used terracotta consciously to make the facility part of a
virtual cycle.
❏ The vaulted roofs were done in collaboration with the Centre
for Science for Villages Wardha.
❏ This is an organization that works on Gandhian principles
and values.

LOCATION: Pune, Maharashtra
YEAR: 2010

SITE AREA: 820,000 sq.ft
NO. OF STOREYS: 4
PROGRAMME: HQ LEED rated (57 points)

INTRODUCTION
Suzlon is India’s largest and one of the world’s
biggest producers of “clean” wind energy.The
name “One Earth” signifies recognition of the
Earth as a unique eco-system whose resources
must be managed responsibly. It also signifies
the effort made to create such an
environmentally responsible corporate home. In
keeping with the theme, the corporate buildings
at One Earth have been named after the key
elements of nature as Aqua, Tree, Sky and Sun.

38. PLANNING AND DESIGN
➢ Sustainability principles have been scrupulously adhered to, right from site selection and design to
engineering, construction, materials and operations. This includes usage of native flora, minimizing both
environmental impact and reducing the need for landscaping water, low-energy/green materials, appropriate
orientation of the building facades that ensures adequate day lighting and minimizes glare etc.

39. STRATEGIES
➢ Energy Efficiency A hybrid wind (80%) – solar (20%; through photovoltaic panels) energy system located
on-site and off-site generates 155 kW of power, making One Earth India’s first 100% renewable energy campus.
Smart solutions like motion/occupancy sensors, Low-E glass for the buildings, low energy LED lighting, aluminum
louvres that shade the interiors while providing ample natural illumination, HVAC systems that filter and cool air
before resupplying them to ACs to reduce the load on ACs etc., optimize energy consumption.
➢ Water Efficient 100% rainwater is harvested, 100% of grey water is recycled via an on-site sewage
treatment plant into flushing, air-cooling and landscaping systems attesting to One Earth’s water-efficiency. Water
fixtures including low flow fixtures that reduce in-building water consumption by 65% and touchless urinals with
hytronik sensors all help reduce water consumption and make One Earth water efficient .

40. STRATEGIES
➢ Working Comfort
Ergonomics is also meticulously attended to; not only do the workstations provide an optimized balance
between comfort and productivity, they are arrange to provide an unobstructed view of the surroundings that
allows the wandering eye a chance to relax and refocus. Essential resources such as printers, fax machines,
storage cabinets, the pantry etc., are located to minimize unproductive movement.

41. Overall performance
The actual energy performance index (electricity) of the
Suzlon one earth is 55.86 kWh/m2/year, based on the
actual energy consumption of the building for the year
2011. Various measures undertaken to improve the
overall performance of the building are:
● Facades of the building face north, south, north west,
south east, thus reducing the heat ingress in to the
building and reducing the heating thermal load of the
building.
● Windows on the first and second floor are shared
100% using louvers.
● Small terraces are created in each block to promote
interaction with external climate.
● 100% of the desks in the office areas are equipped
with LED task lights.

51. SIZE OF BUILDING-
Simpler the Plan, Better the Performance”
Construction materials “R.C.C. preferable
than P.C.C
Strong-column, weak-beam
AVOID SOFT STOREY in ground floors-
preferable to use continuous walls in
ground storey
HORIZONTAL BANDS necessary throughout
the masonry” “latur earthquake incident”

52. ➢ Vertically oriented wide beams
➢ It carries seismic loads down to the
bottom of foundation
➢ Provides large strength and stiffness
to buildings
➢ Thickness generally varies from
150mm to 400mm in high rise
buildings
➢ Advantages of shear walls:
- Efficient for cost effectiveness
- Construction helps in
minimizing the effect on non-
structural elements. E.g. Glass,
Windows
Effective when located along the
exterior perimeter of building
USE OF SHEAR WALLS
Should be symmetrical in plan along
both the axes.
The opening provided in shear walls
should be symmetrical.

53. BRACING
When the quakes strikes the system dissipates
energy in the building cores and exteriors
The bracing acts as reinforcement to the
vertical supports
ROLLERS
BASE ISOLATION

54. ➢ Energy Dissipation Device – (Seismic Dampers)
- These are used in place of structural elements such
as diagonal braces
- Acts like the hydraulic shock absorbers in cars
- When seismic energy is transmitted through them,
dampers absorb part of it, and thus damp the motion
of the building.
EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT FOUNDATION MEASURES:
➢ Keeping Building Up Thrust
- When the quakes strikes the system
dissipates energy in the building cores
and exteriors
- The frames are free to rock up and
down within fittings fixed at their bases
➢ Base Isolation Method
- Introduces flexibility to the
structures
- Building is rested on flexible pads
(Base Isolators)
- When earthquake strikes the
building does not moves
- It is suitable for hard soil only
