As an action front sworn to the concept of ecological construction and sustainable design, Srushti Sahajeevan Foundation is a staunch flag bearer of the vital, but oft neglected axiom of Organic Architecture.

In the scramble to erect all those grandiose architectural marvels, what is overlooked is the facet of the sustainability of the design as well as the ecological footprint - the area of land needed to provide the necessary resources and absorb the wastes generated by a community. At Srushti Sahajeevan Foundation, we are doing our bit to reduce this footprint, by adopting a more environment friendly approach to all facets our business.

Infrastructure and the environment are inextricably linked - there's never a dichotomy and hence, environmentally and economically sound design and development techniques are critical for buildings and infrastructure that are sustainable, healthy and affordable.

Our understanding of Organic Architecture is not from the perspective of style, but rather, a reinterpretation of natural principles. This translates to a healthy respect for natural materials, seamless integration into the environs and a faithful expression of the function of the structure.

To take a leaf out of the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright’s work – we subscribe to the belief that a building should complement its environment so as to create a single, unified space that appears to grow naturally out of the ground. We are convinced that a structure should function like a cohesive organism, where each part of the design relates to the whole. Quite naturally, our interpretation of organic architecture finds expression through the judicious and ingenuous use of the elements like light, plants and water to complement the design parlance.
