Naturally Luxurious - Kapil Aggarwal of Spaces Architects creates a home in New Delhi for the Sobtis family.

Sometimes it happens that the homeowners are not too sure about the kind of house they would like. But while they may not have crystallised their design vocabulary, what they do have is a broad agreement with the kind of look created by a specific architect/designer and they are happy to put their faith in her/him. Something like this seems to have happened between the Sobtis and Kapil Aggarwal of Spaces Architects. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Sobtis had a shell of a home on two floors of a builder flat in New Delhi and these had to be connected internally to create a home for three generations. Kapil Aggarwal, who has done plenty of such modeling of given spaces, set about the job by pitching the entire layout around the fact that the family is a lot into meditation. The lady is a medical practitioner while the gentleman is a businessman. Their two children, a son and a daughter, and their parents have their age specific requirements and these had to be respected, says Kapil. One of the advantages that the site had was that it was open on three sides. Capitalising on the abundance of natural light, Kapil’s layout ensured that ample light would flow into the interiors.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsnvzTfs4ymJGeekYV8oWwt5iH3trg9xT-Y2yXarBgYx-EZJaz57J7FpBrKx9nw45GGwDOp2m15tync5H3xjznT-JWQHXmZLCc4nWLIMXh2-uArIV0Ex6AD-ar2QQw_Ce1CoF5DdGTHQ/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsnvzTfs4ymJGeekYV8oWwt5iH3trg9xT-Y2yXarBgYx-EZJaz57J7FpBrKx9nw45GGwDOp2m15tync5H3xjznT-JWQHXmZLCc4nWLIMXh2-uArIV0Ex6AD-ar2QQw_Ce1CoF5DdGTHQ/s640/2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> The formal living room has a glass wall, which feeds this light into the rest of the house. Supplementing it, is the large glass window of the dining area. The ‘heart’ of the house consists of a special platform created for meditation. Demarcated by solid timber pillars, the platform becomes a distinctive area, and a water body close to it heightens the feeling of peace. The primary function of the public areas is to keep the three generations connected with adequate and appropriate facilities. Hence a lounge close to the dining area allows everyone to communicate, while obviating the need for them to be eating together at the same time to communicate. One could just be in the lounge relaxing while the children are dining and so on.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbtW0dBIfAH3w3BTkyE97ANkZtGwqexZd9Q_5VCMSRr_1zvwwJhyphenhyphendjUQycR0AonNn-6Noch1V0mr75XOBZetoaa4OOF2x6z_eXyjhAmtLNeXtkieIIR3nvou7B8XAeXxiRmE5nj7cYCA/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbtW0dBIfAH3w3BTkyE97ANkZtGwqexZd9Q_5VCMSRr_1zvwwJhyphenhyphendjUQycR0AonNn-6Noch1V0mr75XOBZetoaa4OOF2x6z_eXyjhAmtLNeXtkieIIR3nvou7B8XAeXxiRmE5nj7cYCA/s640/3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> The kitchen has been kept open on three sides while the cooking counter remains at a discreet distance from the dining table. From the living room end its smart SS chimneys and white fixtures with SS trimmings look extremely stylish. There is a splash of colour in warm and cool tones on the back splash, but it is the graphic floor tiles in shades of grey that tie it all up. On the lower level are the living, dining, meditation areas beside the kitchen, the parents’ and the son’s bedroom. A timber and glass staircase connects the two levels and the double-height volume gets a touch of lightness through a set of interesting lights, which also form a part of the formal living area. The landing of the stairs is embellished with another set of wall fixtures, which in some ways echo the design theme of the lights from the ceiling. Clear glass with minimal fittings makes for a very clean look, keeping the general flow of light uninterrupted. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW61i77pm9ZIpqYTot9XcrH2KWr7-G_muPcuG0GWLhV_pkeyleaUxJZz4xrsKl2_NOqSjW_uH3XLSQMbhuunlAqFXkhjIkIRNq-IVcXKSIEovJ0QmrIvtNGlwFxMrJ0Wo0fVqdvINiVg/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW61i77pm9ZIpqYTot9XcrH2KWr7-G_muPcuG0GWLhV_pkeyleaUxJZz4xrsKl2_NOqSjW_uH3XLSQMbhuunlAqFXkhjIkIRNq-IVcXKSIEovJ0QmrIvtNGlwFxMrJ0Wo0fVqdvINiVg/s640/4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">All along the stairs and also at the mezzanine, it is but strips of timber that break the line of vision. All the rooms have been treated with a subtle colour palette on the walls keeping the décor light. A play with textures on stone and 3D MDF panels on the headboard walls keep the rooms from becoming staid and dull. Naturally appearing grains and veins in materials, be they wood or stone are the mainstay of design here, punctuated by clear glass and the house is painted lavishly with natural light. The upper floor has a lobby, which connects the three bedrooms.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The master bedroom and the daughter’s room are located in the front and the guest bedroom at the rear. A bright lounge is the meeting point here. With double-height fixed glass windows going right up to the ceiling, there isn’t a dark corner here. The well of the house is luxuriously endowed and smartly embellished with a judicious mix of art and artefacts. Each room has a little touch that distinguishes it from the others. The daughter’s bedroom has a little feminine touch in the form of flower stencils and colours, the master bedroom has a sober 3D headboard while the son’s room has a masculine flair.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1arBzUHhgAO2pdkXCvHl84d0UizdPE-7-arKbY3006puZI4Ar24J4V4_a0Z41Tjfij80ZufwePFEKAJsHneo92un1WcqngeBSeQFYlwP2uLLSftl_P60LzDazllXF80_X2Jl8CUMAcg/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1arBzUHhgAO2pdkXCvHl84d0UizdPE-7-arKbY3006puZI4Ar24J4V4_a0Z41Tjfij80ZufwePFEKAJsHneo92un1WcqngeBSeQFYlwP2uLLSftl_P60LzDazllXF80_X2Jl8CUMAcg/s640/5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> The double-height connecting the two floors is interestingly lit with multiple coloured lights hung from the ceiling, creating a composition and also complementing the colourful painting. The daughter’s room has abstract wall paneling at the rear with an interesting laser-cut panel on the ceiling. The master bedroom has a 3D panelled wall at the rear, the space enhanced by the natural light filtering through the front glazing, highlighting the grey and blue tones used in the room. Thus without getting boring or predictable yet with a control on colour tones, Kapil and his team have infused life and character into this 4,500 sq ft city home. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div>

In India, where brick and cement are favored over wood, build times are usually double that, if not more. Meanwhile, a Chinese construction company assembled a 3D-printed house in just three hours.<br /><br />In India, constructing a house over months at a time means extended periods of noise and dust pollution, unsafe working conditions and the high costs of keeping contractors, security staff and labourers on duty.<br />By employing 3D-printing to pre-fabricate homes, these issues can be tackled in one fell swoop. Zhouda Group, the Chinese firm behind the three-hour construction miracle, says that 90 percent of the house it assembled in front of a live audience was built in a factory, complete with interiors, wiring, plumbing and sanitary ware.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijG_-jck_GI6XnFfxzCctGYpq9aAvkP3ghlDC3Z3oiJi3IUFTy1eNBEFqH8YIXf8hCoPt7UYv8vgpdOaT3aPFIqc1_pwuD6XNJ093YOCRM3X0hV_nUzfap9KQiw0xWB6tml0uUPu6hjA/s1600/2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijG_-jck_GI6XnFfxzCctGYpq9aAvkP3ghlDC3Z3oiJi3IUFTy1eNBEFqH8YIXf8hCoPt7UYv8vgpdOaT3aPFIqc1_pwuD6XNJ093YOCRM3X0hV_nUzfap9KQiw0xWB6tml0uUPu6hjA/s640/2.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br />In addition, this method could also reduce India’s reliance on migrant labour from rural areas. Workers are often underpaid (a 2012 study found that men were paid less than $4 a day, while women earned less than half that), pressured to press their children into service and forced to work in unsafe environments.<br /><br />And of course, once construction is complete, they are left out in the cold and at the mercy of labour contractors to find their next project.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxBiZm8ilA2OanFi32VTQv2n5wGnp3OdUXFP16n5G2-0NLF8XjGdyg3PEScnE8_vDLf170PuuPkGB5H0iQ62mxFA4UO0s7OqkBPzjLxePSSUCoBjkyC4xCJoQw48PqORTWa0LzewUghQ/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxBiZm8ilA2OanFi32VTQv2n5wGnp3OdUXFP16n5G2-0NLF8XjGdyg3PEScnE8_vDLf170PuuPkGB5H0iQ62mxFA4UO0s7OqkBPzjLxePSSUCoBjkyC4xCJoQw48PqORTWa0LzewUghQ/s640/3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Entrepreneurs working on “Uber for X” is wonderful and all, but this is the sort of tech India needs to invest in next.</div>

CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT TRENDS IN INDIA

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">According to 3D Power, many companies are setting up manufacturing facilities in India, as the country is increasingly becoming a global manufacturing hub. A large and growing domestic market, lower manufacturing cost, a good vendor base, easy availability of skilled labour, low language barrier and proximity to South-East Asia, the Middle East and African markets, are some of the factors favouring India, writes Samir Bansal.<br /><br />The impact of the global economic crisis on Indian economy remained short-lived and it recovered robustly in 2010, recording one of the fastest growth rates in the world. The economy, which had been growing at an average of over nine per cent in the preceding three years, grew by 6.8 per cent in the fiscal ended March 2009, eight per cent in 2010, 8.5 per cent last year, and is estimated to grow between 7.5-8.0 per cent in the current fiscal.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU5XPPc4lQBqGU4Nwxwa_xMrnItCSogaeL-LreMInL9NKxokIlEMPBLy1HOZS36LuJpaPnnVsm3kNIA6MNwdRrJZgZw3hyphenhyphenJz_OTWYysGSGjPfRecms-EFlOeSLryrNgUxPFcnmsrU9kQ/s1600/MORDEN+BUNGLOW+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU5XPPc4lQBqGU4Nwxwa_xMrnItCSogaeL-LreMInL9NKxokIlEMPBLy1HOZS36LuJpaPnnVsm3kNIA6MNwdRrJZgZw3hyphenhyphenJz_OTWYysGSGjPfRecms-EFlOeSLryrNgUxPFcnmsrU9kQ/s640/MORDEN+BUNGLOW+%25282%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />The global events had a severe and direct impact on the Indian construction equipment industry, although the market started recovering in the last quarter of 2009. Following a four-fold period of growth from 2003, the market peaked in 2007 at a record total of 50,706 units but then came the global economic recession that put a brake on further growth. Construction equipment sales then fell to 46,141 units in 2008, with a further drop of 11 per cent to 40,909 units in 2009. However, the market has since shown a sharp recovery, growing by 45 per cent to 59,308 units in 2010. Current indicators point towards a strong outlook of growth for the next five years.<br /><br />Development of the infrastructure remains vital for economic growth, and the total infrastructure expenditure during the 12th Plan is expected to nearly double from Rs 20,542 billion to Rs 40, 992 billion or $1,025 billion. At least 50 per cent of this will come from the private sector, while public sector investment will increase from Rs 13,113 billion in the 11th plan to about Rs 20,496 billion in the 12th Plan. This will imply an annual increase of about 9.34 per cent.<br />Other factors favouring the growth of the construction equipment industry include declining availability of manual labour and the sheer scale of work yet to be done in the infrastructure sector. Crucially, the availability of finance is not a problem in the country (albeit currently at a high rate of interest), and the future demand will increasingly be created by the release of government-sponsored projects.<br />The challenges mainly come from increasing fiscal deficit, high rate of inflation, alleged scams and corruption charges being faced by political leaders and bureaucrats. Other non-financial constraints include land acquisition, procedural and approval delays, especially for environmental and forest clearances. The government will have to reform the regulatory and administrative set up if the gap between plan and execution is to be minimised.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiRHoQ5J-wNGRHS46AVlr41Os9AwXpuQWvXps4d6KhZ6HyfYq0l_H7k8VwFfJhb8Wjq_kIGi09KGEUn6K-IpqLMID___36mcLsNN3DHw0rUbXgcwGeU772H0AMRsG5Toyz6I2kYp3Qsg/s1600/MORDEN+BUNGLOW+%252828%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiRHoQ5J-wNGRHS46AVlr41Os9AwXpuQWvXps4d6KhZ6HyfYq0l_H7k8VwFfJhb8Wjq_kIGi09KGEUn6K-IpqLMID___36mcLsNN3DHw0rUbXgcwGeU772H0AMRsG5Toyz6I2kYp3Qsg/s640/MORDEN+BUNGLOW+%252828%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />The construction equipment market will continue to be driven by the development of infrastructure and economic growth of the country. The government is increasing focus on infrastructure development and is also taking policy measures to improve investor confidence and attract foreign investment, and is encouraging public private partnership (PPP) for infrastructure development.<br /><br />Despite various announcements by the government, road sector has been suffering from delays in awarding and execution of projects for the last 2-3 years. However, a large number of road projects have already been awarded this year, and the government plans to award projects for a total of 7,300 km worth Rs 1 trillion in the current fiscal year ending March 2012.<br /><br />Land acquisition and environmental clearance issues have delayed several mining projects in the country, which has adversely affected sales of construction and mining equipment. The government has recently cleared some of the stalled projects, however balancing between the environment and mining will always remain a subject of debate. Power projects are also one of the main agenda for the government, therefore demand for equipment from hydroelectric, thermal, wind mill and nuclear projects will continue in future.<br /><br />Locally manufactured machines are generally preferred by the customers on account of higher perceived value and support in the long term, although demand exists for highly productive latest technology machines. After sales support provided by the supplier is of utmost importance and 'value for money' is the mantra for success in Indian market. 3D Power has the same opinion. Further, with complex and varying tax structure, suppliers have to find the best way of doing business in different parts of the country.</div>

Starting early next year, two new infrastructure projects offering 8,000 flats are coming up in Karkardooma and Trilokpuri. </div><div class="" style="clear: both;">To be built on TOD (transit-oriented development) guidelines, both the projects will give commercial as well as residential spaces. While the Karkardooma project will have 5,000 flats, at Trilokpuri—where the flats will come up right opposite Sanjay Lake—3,000 will be up for grabs. Also tagged as smart cities, the complexes will be built near Metro stations and will have landscaped parks and green areas. The buildings, too, will be totally green with complete recycling of waste, including plastic.</div><div class="" style="clear: both;">"Both the projects are in critical stages of planning and design. We have already identified the basic plan, including the number of flats that will be on offer, along with the commercial segment of the projects. Both will have an iconic, signature building of 100 storeys that will have both commercial and residential spaces," Mittal said. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="" style="clear: both;">They will also provide retail space, a five-acre park, sculptures, a laser park and a circular skywalk. According to NBCC, the EWS housing will be largely subsidized. Other units in the semi-luxury, middle-class and luxury housing, serviced apartments etc will be sold to the public like any private development. "NBCC will maintain the complex for 30 years," said Mittal. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWWVXJN5eChbdkr4Muo_wAEKQjkvDxOp0s59QclTgyNMJHZ8ZlNIh1fiHjpvrg9PFxxBpxIbmJZSLZxNRNzjmiUGk0uqy1p_w54LGwh2ZaI-KEMrwyBshBBYC-YBbfXyqItXoiyCyyQQ/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWWVXJN5eChbdkr4Muo_wAEKQjkvDxOp0s59QclTgyNMJHZ8ZlNIh1fiHjpvrg9PFxxBpxIbmJZSLZxNRNzjmiUGk0uqy1p_w54LGwh2ZaI-KEMrwyBshBBYC-YBbfXyqItXoiyCyyQQ/s640/3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv4XO1VTleUdWCnPzAWUicfz3ZAugF1ONPkhOA43PQGZf85x4fhcM9WZT2Qg1mPS7Sl5FlnsWJ9Kmfw1bCci3nkDhAPosrvajHYVs9fpRVEv-NtYpvt_fkQAPSDPZuQsg5J3cQEHVnzQ/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="342" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv4XO1VTleUdWCnPzAWUicfz3ZAugF1ONPkhOA43PQGZf85x4fhcM9WZT2Qg1mPS7Sl5FlnsWJ9Kmfw1bCci3nkDhAPosrvajHYVs9fpRVEv-NtYpvt_fkQAPSDPZuQsg5J3cQEHVnzQ/s640/2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQQfqfUKKOQ3YnilmeXbZIHR1jsKk3b2YKw1FgyNhFW4IS96oMFNCfnCsR0_Q7zcpH_PRtp1l57H5S7G5Dgw0-ZjvCPIatZWZShtyPOghQshaBlYc_AGmcAF9P52qIX_MQAyU1zFB4gg/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQQfqfUKKOQ3YnilmeXbZIHR1jsKk3b2YKw1FgyNhFW4IS96oMFNCfnCsR0_Q7zcpH_PRtp1l57H5S7G5Dgw0-ZjvCPIatZWZShtyPOghQshaBlYc_AGmcAF9P52qIX_MQAyU1zFB4gg/s640/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI1EeSf8u4FsiJUxkybO-ieYR2II9UvS5qsVCMKilhyphenhyphenIrFjSkDi8qSVxmZYXKnGoL4t_7Ypfix0a2j61tZR1JUfppjcsGvDx8cKKfhwYDAjD8i5vUFWxlAAtaI9CHgNw3-OMj6R59xWw/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI1EeSf8u4FsiJUxkybO-ieYR2II9UvS5qsVCMKilhyphenhyphenIrFjSkDi8qSVxmZYXKnGoL4t_7Ypfix0a2j61tZR1JUfppjcsGvDx8cKKfhwYDAjD8i5vUFWxlAAtaI9CHgNw3-OMj6R59xWw/s640/6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipKPjpinqdqeaTN5PfrMkZE7w_1c3i4aCHCWBfXLjAP-sTnGt3c8aA-rDqI9ApYUE8gKDtbe2qTs6uUIJMmuzq5lcSNOngxlp7AW0hVRaSaNMFiEJvVkvy2ILdklVI5GprkOcmG5a2eg/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipKPjpinqdqeaTN5PfrMkZE7w_1c3i4aCHCWBfXLjAP-sTnGt3c8aA-rDqI9ApYUE8gKDtbe2qTs6uUIJMmuzq5lcSNOngxlp7AW0hVRaSaNMFiEJvVkvy2ILdklVI5GprkOcmG5a2eg/s640/7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6CXohOYOvt-iPfU8Fu-M8KHl14skIa4TMKivCip3S8UCRH2KeFAf3zOTRBqB2pvwH6W3VGYavzC72oGywXCon-avo-baJ_EDoegf3TBxAOO2EPYPxHJ0GxL2TbGa9Cgdnfb9KlOyy1A/s1600/30space.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6CXohOYOvt-iPfU8Fu-M8KHl14skIa4TMKivCip3S8UCRH2KeFAf3zOTRBqB2pvwH6W3VGYavzC72oGywXCon-avo-baJ_EDoegf3TBxAOO2EPYPxHJ0GxL2TbGa9Cgdnfb9KlOyy1A/s640/30space.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div>

3 Ancient House Designs That You Can Build Really Cheap

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Want to learn how to build a cheap house? Look no further. Let me ask you; how would your life change if you never had to pay rent or interest on a mortgage again? I bet it would take a significant weight off your shoulders. It sure would for me.<br />You’re not alone, in fact today most people in “civilized” parts of the world don’t own their homes but are indebted to banks or rent from a landlord. But it has not always been this way, as Henry David Thoreau so truthfully writes in his book Walden:<br />In the savage (Native American) state every family owns a shelter as good as the best, and sufficient for its coarser and simpler wants; but I think that I speak within bounds when I say that, though the birds of the air have their nests, and the foxes their holes, and the savages their wigwams, in modern civilized society not more than half the families own a shelter. In the large towns and cities, where civilization especially prevails, the number of those who own a shelter is a very small fraction of the whole. The rest pay an annual tax or this outside garnment of all, become indispensible summer and winter, which would buy a village of Indian wigwams, but now helps to keep them poor as long as they live.<br />Is this the best humanity can do?<br />Is it impossible to imagine a future where humans, just as other animals, own their shelter free and clear and don’t have to pay a “tax” their whole lives just to stay protected from the elements?<br />Of course not. This is crazy!<br /><br />In the list below you’ll find examples of homes that “savage” people throughout the world built with their own hands using locally available materials that Nature provided for free. No mortgage or rent required.<br /><br />Most of the examples on this list are small house designs. They are small because a small house takes less fuel to heat, less time and building materials to build, and for some of the more portable designs a small home is much easier to move.<br />What you take away from this list is up to you, but I have no doubt there’s a lot to learn from how our ancestors lived in harmony with their surroundings and adapted perfectly to their environments, no matter how harsh.<br /><br />The Burdei<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXTU7UC4aeH4Po8FjFOCTDXAwg5RvUo95DSJoIcExfsu3vJXvpXgA7RJlPpNfMqpfTvSJLVYt8xD67zqWE2343KBt8cYlIrEo_pZZtetjOxSHcnUWCey4ufsln-sjAx9ItgiRM82Qiqw/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXTU7UC4aeH4Po8FjFOCTDXAwg5RvUo95DSJoIcExfsu3vJXvpXgA7RJlPpNfMqpfTvSJLVYt8xD67zqWE2343KBt8cYlIrEo_pZZtetjOxSHcnUWCey4ufsln-sjAx9ItgiRM82Qiqw/s640/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />The burdei dates back as far as 6000 years and it’s a type of half-dugout shelter somewhat between a sod house and a log cabin, usually with a floor that’s 1 – 1.5 meters under ground level.<br />This type of shelter is native to the Carpathian Mountains and forest steppes of eastern Europe but has seen use in North America as well by many of the earliest Ukrainian Canadian settlers as their first home in Canada at the end of the 19th century and by Mennonites from Imperial Russia who settled in the Hillsboro region of Kansas.<br /><br />The Log Cabin<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIukRmtF8cRkS1EAkzOElfYFHEjmSIuVNRCNO2XEk_5JGYZfCUNNP7lCZQuiWp96VuzStoJ_WgwWsr8JE_1_zPtf38NNNx_wCUtcKfUmdmcFIcbZrwXI956FIb_NXyaJKVPuwEivZ3Yw/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="332" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIukRmtF8cRkS1EAkzOElfYFHEjmSIuVNRCNO2XEk_5JGYZfCUNNP7lCZQuiWp96VuzStoJ_WgwWsr8JE_1_zPtf38NNNx_wCUtcKfUmdmcFIcbZrwXI956FIb_NXyaJKVPuwEivZ3Yw/s640/2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Some of the first log structures were built in Northern Europe many thousands of years ago, and they’re most commonly associated with Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.<br />They’re built out of logs laid on top of each other horizontally, with notches at both ends to form weather tight corners. The thick solid wood provide much better insulation over a timber frame covered with skins, boards, or shingles.<br />With suitable tools and logs, a log cabin can be erected (and disassembled) from scratch in days by a family but it can stand for potentially hundreds of years. In fact, not far from where I live you’ll find one of Sweden’s best preserved old farms with log structures built in the 1700’s that’s still in good condition.<br /><br />Just as with the Clochán, the log cabin gets its structural integrity from compressional forces, and a log cabin tends to slightly compress as it settles over a few months or years.<br /><br />The Bamboo House<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU0HnMs1Ly5ev6ju2G11R6PaVUXbFJ7TRkQWnBiVs0_Fwkxz7n5X5nzVgpeNmvtqv1Kur1W02EeViW1D1_y4JWb0yzuLmsBPWOnBnMbbO81bwkQBQ86q33QGmphMGzg4FjuuLt6AIeYA/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU0HnMs1Ly5ev6ju2G11R6PaVUXbFJ7TRkQWnBiVs0_Fwkxz7n5X5nzVgpeNmvtqv1Kur1W02EeViW1D1_y4JWb0yzuLmsBPWOnBnMbbO81bwkQBQ86q33QGmphMGzg4FjuuLt6AIeYA/s640/3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Not a house design but rather an excellent building material, bamboo has a high strength-to-weight ratio useful for structures. It grows fast, it’s light-weight, and is a sustainable source of building material.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJVs_emYI906HHOfysCX8RClKwaKg87mYjADZYQ70AKMHbeX9o_T2HPmZdImiFyrvC4X9cIfRNzuh_puwov-OBfA5Zl97R6bwCtmaAdKui3oj8Au_SZ47G7KMSR2F0Hrnj3OojZyJH_w/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="332" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJVs_emYI906HHOfysCX8RClKwaKg87mYjADZYQ70AKMHbeX9o_T2HPmZdImiFyrvC4X9cIfRNzuh_puwov-OBfA5Zl97R6bwCtmaAdKui3oj8Au_SZ47G7KMSR2F0Hrnj3OojZyJH_w/s640/4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br />In its natural form, bamboo as a construction material is traditionally associated with the cultures of South Asia, East Asia and the South Pacific, to some extent in Central and South America</div>

A style may include such elements as form, method of construction, building materials, and regional character. Most architecture can be classified as a chronology of styles which changes over time reflecting changing fashions, beliefs and religions, or the emergence of new ideas, technology, or materials which make new styles possible.<br />Styles often spread to other places, so that the style at its source continues to develop in new ways while other countries follow with their own twist.<br /><br />3D Power has gathered some photos of the Basque Culinary Center in San Sebastián, Spain, by VAUMM (2015), photographed by Ximo Michavila.

Between approximately 2500 and 1700 B.C., the Indus Valley Civilization flourished in what is now the Punjab, an area spread between modern-day Pakistan and western India. Most evidence of ancient Indian houses comes from remains in this area. These houses were built with comfort and security in mind. They were simple structures, grouped in clusters around a shared common space. They had few windows and small entryways.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOoSA6TF6ZeJq67AMzMFoV0bKOmTC_Ls83rHHfe7jWXYgpUUDCWZgPkeTZJbF5a9DjaLCPKQ5uhGLUyS7tOE3iqkn7yYK89WoRUud791kYYNjhOyHybhp9EZkMwbxqGQ7EvSiKVMbPuw/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOoSA6TF6ZeJq67AMzMFoV0bKOmTC_Ls83rHHfe7jWXYgpUUDCWZgPkeTZJbF5a9DjaLCPKQ5uhGLUyS7tOE3iqkn7yYK89WoRUud791kYYNjhOyHybhp9EZkMwbxqGQ7EvSiKVMbPuw/s640/3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><b>Building Bylaws</b><br />In the Indus Valley, urban houses were built and ordered based on a greater consideration of the city as a whole. This order and structuring was laid out in various building bylaws which specified how to arrange the houses in a city, where and how to plant trees, and the arrangement of homes based on the Indian social hierarchy called caste. Higher-caste groups had taller, multilevel houses, while those of lower caste lived in smaller structures. Households of the same caste were grouped together, meaning houses on the same street were of equal height.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbZRu90sKH8_7CinhLJZVyWb-Ou7SMDml6GdERl9NeuErlLvdCDmbbqFGFT2wccFYkcBzhfqP7jvji3vEsBjcF1d3g7mhrAlLNWAkRS3uVsvkWkgLPQykpTBeoma84_mAPR06EtG8YOw/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbZRu90sKH8_7CinhLJZVyWb-Ou7SMDml6GdERl9NeuErlLvdCDmbbqFGFT2wccFYkcBzhfqP7jvji3vEsBjcF1d3g7mhrAlLNWAkRS3uVsvkWkgLPQykpTBeoma84_mAPR06EtG8YOw/s640/4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><b>Ancient Homes Uncovered</b><br />The most extensive remains of the Indus Valley Civilization have been uncovered at Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, sites located in present-day Pakistan.The houses found in Mohenjo-daro varied in size from the large impressive structures of the upper castes to small two-room homes of the poor. Archeologists described the dwellings as plain, and designed more for comfort than for style. Most of the homes included a bathroom, a system of covered drainage and a well. Vertical drainpipes have been discovered in remains of some homes with upper levels, indicating that larger homes had multiple bathrooms.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7wcBkG8TZK21LieJjk_fesgj0ClDiI6HPzG4CAP5709Q1ORthFJp4pYX6MV8JQbUhMo1qntKnP5eRl4n6-KXLMvgE7aIXOBGFGas2afH5J0O-rMYy46b-4GiCIW8KaWeIaqhnAfESDQ/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7wcBkG8TZK21LieJjk_fesgj0ClDiI6HPzG4CAP5709Q1ORthFJp4pYX6MV8JQbUhMo1qntKnP5eRl4n6-KXLMvgE7aIXOBGFGas2afH5J0O-rMYy46b-4GiCIW8KaWeIaqhnAfESDQ/s640/5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><b>Communal Living</b><br />In these ancient urban centers, houses were built to accommodate communal living. Blocks of houses owned by different families were constructed around an open space in the center. The back sides of the houses faced outward, forming an enclosure that protected the enclave from the outside, broken only by small entryways between the homes running in from the street. The shared space in the middle was used by all inhabitants. The communal system of living is a cultural phenomenon still practiced in India today.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3TpdBm196f3NiFMZeqyG7Q6MTf468U2MxA3_ZI2cLJdM2Zd1lG1HiNz3-qXKglMpcFoVJQNYw5cUXi6ezKqQYvXvxregnFcqD-sRDwsM_hhOZNFVOHUPiKmgdA8vQbonnad1nSJyiYQ/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3TpdBm196f3NiFMZeqyG7Q6MTf468U2MxA3_ZI2cLJdM2Zd1lG1HiNz3-qXKglMpcFoVJQNYw5cUXi6ezKqQYvXvxregnFcqD-sRDwsM_hhOZNFVOHUPiKmgdA8vQbonnad1nSJyiYQ/s640/6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><b>Construction Materials</b><br />The walls of the homes were made of hand-formed baked bricks while the foundations were laid with sun-dried bricks. Instruments were used to ensure the exact vertical alignment of the houses. The interior and exterior walls were covered with plaster and often painted. The roofs of the homes were flat and made of wood. Although bricks were the standard building material in the north, wood was more frequently used to build houses in the southern part of the Indian subcontinent.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
