Bodhi is a sprawling house for a large family with two dogs. The slope of the site is utilised to create a large basement for parking three antique cars besides three cars in use. Spaces for an office and an entertainment room are also provided in the basement, leaving ample space for a large garden above. The garden is raised to make it easily accessible from the dining space. The double roof system, consisting of the vault and sloping roof, give high thermal insulation. Radiant cooling system, running in the floors of bedrooms, conditions the space with less than half the energy required compared to conventional air conditioners. The home recycles all its waste water within the site and uses it for landscape and flushing. The home also harvests about 10 lakh litres of rainwater annually.
