Text description provided by the architects. Nature’s Abode is a residence designed for the Gargs who are located in the town, of Shahabad, Haryana- A place of extreme temperatures. In a setting of such extreme temperatures and dry weather conditions, proposing materials that cater to the weather conditions throughout the season cycle, installing and configuring those materials, and ensuring their working conditions later are the few challenges the architects had to tackle in the initial stages of designing the same. Responding to the context and the south facing of the site, proposed solutions for the architecture of the house where the installation of a live green wall system with built-in concrete planters as the front façade and open planning throughout. The use of concrete as a material is intended to blend in with the greens over time to curate a harmonious theme. The structure seemed to have blended in with the context as if literally 'grown' out of it.
