Design here tends to be climate-responsive: deep shade, cross-ventilation, rainwater harvesting and respect for existing trees.

- Floor plans and elevations
- Structural drawings and calculations
- Material and finish specifications
- Vastu-aware layouts and 3D concept support

Local considerations in Auroville
Auroville is part of the Auroville bioregion, and that shapes how we plan and build:
- 01
Building in Auroville involves its own community planning process, so we begin by confirming your land status and the correct approval route.
- 02
Many plots sit in a green, low-density setting where tree retention, rainwater harvesting and passive cooling matter.
- 03
Land status can differ from standard Puducherry plots, so documentation and the approval route should be confirmed first.
Approvals and rules
Auroville has its own planning and building process through its planning bodies, while plots on the Tamil Nadu side follow DTCP and local body rules; we confirm which route applies to your land. Requirements change over time, so we confirm the current process for your plot before design is finalised and prepare the documents accordingly. Read about our approval support.
