Construction materials used are mainly organic and natural including wood,mud, grass, stabilised earth bricks and fired bricks. Most of these homeshave sustainable energy systems such as solar. Dirk & Chinmayi have built awaste water treatment system and have experimented with levitated waterfor their clay walls, and Rolf has rainwater catchment from the roof and acompost toilet.

 Vikas Community The creation of this community was based on a particular spirit, life style and appropriate architectural design. It was related to Sri Aurobindo’s integral yoga and Auroville’s ideal. The extensive use of environmentally sound materials, appropriate building technologies, (earth and ferrocement), renewable energies (solar and wind) and ecological water management (watershed harvesting and biological waste water treatment), were the basis of its material implementation. Individual apartments, a few individual houses and common facilities were built. This project was the first development in Auroville, which used stabilised earth right from foundations to roof. To date, Vikas community still represents the most synthetic holistic development, which has been materialised in Auroville.

To provide for the nutritional needs of the present community of Auroville (1700 inhabitants approx :) including the meals at the schools, work places and for special occasions. c. To be a demonstration project for Appropriate building materials and technology, Solar Passive Architecture and Waste Water Recycling. http://www.aurovilledesign.com/solar- kitchen.html

Auroville KindergartenThe design of the buildings is a reinterpretation of the local vernacularstyle in a minimalist architectural language using earth as thepredominant building material from foundation to roof. The spacesemerge out of a central space to the scale of a child to lessen thetrauma on his/her first experience of spending time away from a non-domestic environment without an intimate adult around.

Melur Meadows Housing ProjectMelur Meadows is a gated enclave of 150 cottages on 9 acres betweenCoimbatore and Ooty hill station. The layout of the project follows thenatural contours of the site which is shaped like bowl like in anamphitheater. There are 4 types of dwelling units on the terraces siteoffering private and public green spaces with the design of the cottagesthat allow for maximum outdoor living to re-create the proverbial village.

23.
The design follows the natural slope of the land with no cut and fills respectingthe coastal dune formation and regulations with the built form scooping outsmall open to sky inner courts connected by a transparent walkway from thewest entry to the east terraces overlooking the bay.Each space opens to these screened courts allowing visual privacy from theinvasive developments around site.

24.
The walls are exposed bricks in local brick tiles and the intermediatefloors are all jack arches in the same bricks. The roof is concrete andthatch for heat insulation. The terraces and verandas are overlooking thesea and courts.

Nare - Jyoti Beach HouseOn a narrow site with minimal frontage to the Bay of Bengal on the CoromandelCoast north of the ex-French colonial town of Pondicherry; hemmed in on 3sides by random unplanned structures the challenge was to create a 5 bedroombeach house that would be a “retreat to peace and tranquillity”.
