We love earth, we love creating with it!
Made In Earth is an architecture studio and construction practice promoting an architecture with a lesser impact on our environment. We work with local, natural building materials and techniques, with a taste for experimentation. We especially use earth to create distinctly contemporary expressions and strongly promote minimal environmental impact of the entire building process. We believe in an architecture that is simple and sensible; created with an understanding of the soil on which it exists; with an exploration of the materials from its place; and in collaboration with the skills and the imagination of its people.
Clay and Lime bind our studio together. Literally. Additionally, we often bring wood, stone, fly ash, straw, rice rusk, thatch into our projects. We love to combine these materials together with concrete, steel, glass and ceramics. There is a place for all of these materials, and when applied with imagination, and in the right context, they come together to create an architecture that is both responsible and beautiful. Across countries and across generations, people are finding new alternatives to live a little better, to live a little closer to the environment. If it gives us the desire, the appetite and the curiosity to learn, to push boundaries and to create, we promise to share it with you here and we hope these projects will do the same to you! Our team of architects and engineers are based in Bangalore, South India and can be reached here.
