We all dream of building our own house! But every nature lover wants to build not just a house, but a unique house that is eco-friendly. These are green and eco-friendly homes made by some such people, who teach sustainable living through their design and lifestyle.
Be it a plastic toothbrush or a comb.. Every small and big thing we use is somewhere connected to our environment. That’s why we need to be aware of the impact our things and habits have on the environment. By making small changes in our lifestyle, we can give some relief to Mother Nature. To save the environment, the trend of waste management and eco-friendly houses has also increased in the country.
Apart from planting more and more trees, stopping the use of single-use plastic, growing and eating organic fruits and vegetables, we can adopt sustainable living by living simply in the midst of nature.
This method can reduce the negative impact on the environment and climate change. Examples of this are these 4 eco-friendly houses made of natural materials like clay, bamboo, herbs, recycled wood and many more!
From the windows to the furniture, everything in Spiro Spero’s designed Circle Home is made from recycled wood. The house runs on the principles of water recycling, solar power and waste management.
Despite being situated in the city, the circle is surrounded by greenery and nature. Tourists coming to Goa can feel different comfort by staying in this house. Not only this, single-use plastic is not used here and for waste management, kitchen waste is used as compost.

Mumbai-based designer Shipra Singhania has built this house without rebar and cement. This house has been made from mud, jaggery, neem, fenugreek like herbs and many types of waste material. Due to its unique architecture, it receives good sunlight in winters and fresh cool air in summers, so that the temperature of the house is always favorable.
Spread over an area of 185 square feet, this house opens onto a beautiful vegetable garden on one side and a large lush green lawn on the other. Apart from this, the furniture and the rest of the interior of this house also reflect the beauty of local workmanship.

4. Mud house, Kerala
Architect Shukur Manpat has built this house out of old broken tiles, recycled materials and mud. Here lime and tree gum have been used for painting, and fenugreek seeds and Terminalia chebula have been used to protect the walls from termites. He has built his house with Stabilized Compressed Interlocking Earth Block (SCEB) technology. The pitched roof structure here does not allow rain water to stagnate on the roof.
