Consulting & Training for natural techniques | Seegehalli, Bangalore
“Of Three little pigs, one built a house of straw, another of sticks and the last built his house of bricks. Soon came the days of the big bad wolf, who huffed and puffed and blew the straw house down! He huffed and puffed and blew the stick house down, but try as he might, he couldn’t blow the brick house down. The other two piglets resented not having built a brick house and did so soon after, and they lived happily ever after.”
There are two blatant lies in this story.

Sheegehalli is a small village located about 60 kms from the northern tip of Bangalore. A kilometer further away from the village, on a long strip of land is where our clients decided to do some organic farming as well as build themselves a small cottage. Suma and Shuba both work in the city and are looking forward to a quite retreat where they can both look forward to a little organic farm. Being organic farmers at heart, the two wanted a natural home to live in, where cement, paint and other man made chemical use is pushed to a minimum. This is where the project starts in all earnest, for it begins far from the city as we know it, in the outskirts of a village that is tangled in its customs, beliefs, work cultures, building practices, farming and cultural knowledge.
