ECOHARMONY HOMES by SRIGAR INFRA- If you are a city dweller, you probably frequently feel the urge to flee the cluttered and polluted city life in search of more greener and cleaner environs. You possibly dream of spending long weekends in a rustic wooden cabin with all modern comfort surrounded by dense foliage. That is indeed an irony, since you have already spent a fortune to buy an exotic looking 2 to 4 BHK apartment in the city. But reality soon seeps in the form of damp walls, poor ventilation, pest infestation, rotting fixtures and rising cost of maintenance. SRIGAR INRA a registered company which has successfully blended old and new architectural styles to create ecologically harmonious and healthy living spaces. Each home is constructed to give a breathtaking view of the famous Trishul and Panchachuli peaks of the Himalayan range. The design philosophy has been adapted from traditional Himalayan home making styles. Key features include 18-inch insulated walls to provide natural heating during winters and cool during summers and clay and stone roofing in the traditional patal (stone slates) style.

Modern construction materials and methods have given rise to unsustainable and unhealthy living spaces. The choice to use new inorganic materials and eschew the old organic ones has led to an ecological imbalance.
Traditional homes were designed to be in harmony with nature and the human body and spirit. They were built using locally sourced and organic materials such as mud, manure, stone etc. Nowadays, handcrafted artistic doors and windows, well ventilated high ceilinged roofs and naturally temperature controlled indoors have given way to clean cut geometrical shapes, artificial temperature and air quality controlling equipment and walls covered in toxic paint.
As such there is increasing evidence that people living in city homes are susceptible to respiratory and endocrine disorders, a weakened immune system and a general deterioration in health and well-being. On the other hand, traditional homes have not only withstood the ravages of time but also ensured the good health and well-being of its occupants and have posed negligible hazard to the environment. Infrastructure built using artificial materials has failed every test of long term quality.
These homes will be specially elderly and child friendly in terms of movability and access. Handcrafted door and windows will provide an aesthetically appealing look and improved functionality will good ventilation. These homes are guaranteed to save huge costs incurred in maintenance and installation of temperature and air controlling equipment.
SRIGAR INFRA promises to revive the traditional art of eco-friendly homes through its ECOHARMONY residential project in the Himalayan hamlet of Uttarakhand.
