Yes it's not a tiny house but it's not a big house, it's two 10*10 bedroom with only one living area build up, rest open area. Practical for four people living.
I am living in my mud and stone house on my farm. I took stones and mud from my land itself. The remaining materials like roof tiles, windows, doors were procured within 10-15km. Wood, roof tiles were reused, taken from the nearby village. The whole house cost me less than 3 lakhs including labour cost.

@@D2E visit my mudhouse in MP Damoh ...it's in 10 acre farm.. purely unburnt bricks..it's very soothing in Summer and warm in winters...and nights are awesome here with little cold in deep night....it's like jannt in jungle ..
I have seen documentary about this house in another youtube channel also. However, i enjoyed this video with same interest. Thats the beauty of eco friendly structures....Kudos to this Lady...She would inspire many people in our country..
Veena's house and Hari and Asha's house previously featured in your channel are two of the best mud houses I've seen. Both are simple and energy efficient.
Amazing! Kudos to Veenaji for realising her dream of a mud house in Faridabad itself.. after having explored the hills. The compost-toilet is a tricky thing to achieve, and it’s quite impressive indeed.
@@veenachandu1 How is this concept sustainable & healthy for living beings in the presence of poor AQI in NCR? People use Air Purifiers in this region. Nice concept from energy savings point of view, but I am not convinced to build such a house in this region with so much ventilation. My grandmother suffers from Asthma.
@@veenachandu1 A couple of honest questions - how does the dry toilet system handle excreta when one has gastrointestinal infections - does the sawdust / mud cover it so that it does not spread through the compost? Or is there some herbal germicide that can be used to ensure that the compost is free of microbes that cause dysentery, cholera, or other gastro diseases? I assume that the pit will be closed to as to prevent flies from entering and then spreading infections around, correct? Secondly, have you had any worms, pests or unwanted insects grow in the composted material? If not, was it due to some precaution you took (herbal germicide or insectide like say turmeric or neem ) or are such bacteria tolerated by manure and not passed up into the plants above the soil after use as manure for plants? Does turmeric and neem destroy the viability of the compost? I really love the concept of composting and I wish more frontline research went into designing solutions to mitigate risk of infectious diseases and disease carrying pests from compost. This will save so much water and is the natural way of excretion for most of human history.
First time in my life, I have clapped multiple times while watching a vedio in youtube. I don't have words for your idea, building it, and for your architect. Great job.. God bless you.
Such a thoughtfully made house Veena... love how you explain everything....why you did what you did... and how you did it. So wonderful that you met Amol...someone who could translate your ideas into mud bricks and stone.....even make place for birds to nest....so inspiring and happy-making. Thank you Thank you
Living with nature is the key to reduce the bad effects of modern lifestyle. It's great now people are thinking into this direction. Hopefully we will see more changes so that everyone can have this kind of environment.
This is so beautiful and nature friendly. Cement is the worst polluting industry ever. Hope people get inspired from this and build more homes like this. Thanks for bringing this to us. 🙏
Though i have lived in mud house during childhood but never thought in modern day someone would like to live in something like that.... i had always loved it.. and thank you for sharing it.
No words, it’s really wonderful. I remembered the old days when people had small mud homes but their heart were big. Eat light, live simple life, spread love and always remember God. 😍
Such a wonderful idea DiDi decided to build a real home for living with nature and adopting the creatures living, really your idea and the Archetect played a great role in building a home. Thank you DIDI and also the Archetect service 🙏
Omg, this house is only 10 mins from my house, never heard about it. Thanks fir sharing her story. Very environment friendly house and very thoughtful and that too in city like Faridabad where pollution level is too high and yes greenery is very less.
I really like the architect and homeowner's mindsets. Stunning work! Very inspiring to see a home built through intentionality like this! She made a beautiful choice indeed!
This is just what Delhi and all the urban spaces need. More power to you Amol and can't wait to meet you and learn more! Thank you Veena ji for providing this inspiring story. It would be an honour to visit this mini heaven.
I love everything said by both Veen ji and the architect! Truly inspiring,I had this same idea, may be one day I'll be able to achieve it. Just one thing that's bothering me is to know if the bathroom gives away any bad odors..
I am so so inspired by this story that I am going to Odisha to build my mud house . I am not that confident about the dry toilet but I also need a low cost house so confused. This video is my go to for so many things ! Thank you ma’am.
MASHA_ALLAH.....Yaqeen nahi hota ke aaj ke daur mei aisa bhi ghar banta hai jahaan chhoti chhoti cheezon ka khyaal karte huwe iski ta-meer ki gayi hai..... its unbelievable
I'm from Trinidad and Tobago, where there's a huge Indian population. I discovered 'modern' mud houses through RUclips but after having a conversation with my mom, she fondly recalls visiting her Indian friend's home as a child, which was built out of this material. I'm sure Trinidad still has them, mostly in the Southern region. It'll be a cool thing to see more architect of our times discuss how to revitalize these homes in different regions around the globe based on the climate, especially with "climate change"
This is what i was looking for many years but today finally found it. The home with totally near with nature. I also want to make the same house in pakistan.
What I liked most about is that Veena did what she wanted in her life...We all have one life if we cant live to our fullest satisfaction, whats the fun.
People are nowadays running after urban homes but this is the idea of village home . during my childhood I have seen a lot of homes like this in my village it was wonderful at that time but slowly people criticised the mud house and now everyone is praising
This is the house 🏠 that you see on any hill station. Natural life is best in today's life 🙏.....god bless you didi and amol architect..... hat's off to tour ideas
Beautiful house. Such a nice place to come back to and call it home. Simple but attractive, for earth has a natural beauty, a natural attraction, which appeals to all the senses. Lovely windows letting in clean fresh air, and at night there is the rising moon casting it's silvery light in all the rooms. So magical to sleep with moonlight washing all over you and creating it's magic around you. The house with its hand crafted artefacts and the use of vibrantly coloured fabrics lends so much charm to this house. The outdoors are as inviting as the indoors. In fact spending more time in the open spaces, and feeling the sun and wind, - - - - - they have a way of revitalising you. Congratulations Mrs Lal for constructing this sensibly planned, cost effective , environment friendly house, and for incorporating that wonderful lady Didi's design concept and understanding her abiding love for Mother earth.
This is my dream home too since I was little I always plan and know my future life I will live in a house just like veenajis, she is so pleasant. I just hole that by the time I finish my studies I will have the resources and will find such a nice architect like the one in this video to help make my dream home!
I am from a rural place Saigaon in Karnataka, Our house is built in the same way, way back 70 years ago. It's good to see returning to the roots. Now our house needs to be rebuild again.
oh boy, I am like flabbergasted to experience such a home. I am ready to give double the cost if I get something like that. Wonderfully presented as well.
This was such an amazing learning experience I got from watching this video. I love the concept, the subtle small artworks throughout the walls of the house both in the exterior as well as in the interior are a bonus point that adds to the overall aesthetics of the house. Beginning with the shape of the house designed as a functional aspect to the ventilation works everything about this house speaks architectural perfection. But as an architect myself, I'm curious to know about the structural framework of the building, as to how a mud house supports a floor above the ground floor? Is it a load bearing structure? How is the slab constructed? I'd really appreciate if you guys let me know about the structural works of the house.
It's really vy sweet nd beautiful decision to make a life vy peaceful ...and... Make a human vy honest... Because.. Nature is most beautiful things in whole world...
I really love to live in this house so appreciative . It's better than so called celebrity house museum . I have a huge respect here . Totally worth it
Though I have watched this video before. I still feel like watching it again and again. It gives me calming feeling and is also informative. When I build a house in coming future, I will surely take an idea or two from this video. You are such a lovely peaceful lady. I wish I could see the house plan on a paper.
Nice to see sustainable and economical houses. We are producing our own ecological bricks and building our house ourselves with the bricks we produce. Soon, we will show how to produce and build with them. You save tons of money doing that!
This shows she is amazing by heart ❤ .. The government should involve in such projects ... Builder now a days are urban naxalites, they play with homes
I actually like it, thanks for sharing. It's all very practical, I appreciate what the young man said at the ending, that the house blended in with its environment♥️
After having glimps of her mud house in previous video, i was wondering if you guys will ask more about her house or not.... And here we are ...😄🌻 You guys Never disappoint .... 🎈
Sustainably built house with such pleasing aesthetics too! The compost toilet is a wonderful idea which can even provide methane gas for cooking, but the open bath might be an invitation for unexpected wild life (?) although I love the concept.
Wow didi! What an amazing house 🏠 🛖 you have! I wish every Indian 🇮🇳 to have a similar mud or a down to earth 🌎 house once they retire. Good luck, didi! Your dogs 🐕 are really cute, as well. Cheers!! 👏👏🤗🎊🎈
This is called living with the nature... I think this initiative should be a movement for the LIFE concept of NITI Ayog... please telecast this documentary all over the world by the use of local and national news channel...
I can't express my feeling. Tears came in my eyes. Actually I have been thinking since my childhood to made a mud house and watching this I felt emotional ❤️❤️👏
1-Height of roof is not shown. 2-Also how has roof been made and of what? The concrete portion of the functional part of the house is shown as the roof for sitting outside but 3- What about the roof for the bedrooms? 4- Whether dome type roof has been built to save construction cost? 90% of heat comes thru the roof during 8 hot months 5- How is the roof waterproofed for the monsoons? 6- What is the costing for the house? 7- Has gypsum been used as cement between the sundried bricks? 8- Is the floor raised above the general soil outside to keep moisture or water logging away or even act as a barrier for snakes and other creatures? 9- Are the south and south west facing walls much thicker ? 10- How does the kitchen exhaust move out of the house since cooking makes the kitchen much hotter unless its a totally open kitchen like the open bathroom concept. 11- Does a verandah go around the house to keep it cooler during the hot months? 12 - What is the orientation of the main area of the house (where maximum hours of productive time during 24 hours is spent) so as to be best for living conditions during summer or winter ? 13- Nothing has been mentioned about the wood used for the house or tackling the termite problem mentioned? Increasing the compost biomass around the walls of the house or planting tulsi and desi marigold may keep the termites busy, maybe gobar or cow dung plaster for walls and flooring used to keep the termites fed in olden times 14- There is no mention of exhaust pipes for the human manure compost pit or any special design for taking out the compost EASILY after one year of the pit being filled 15- How is the house earthquake proofed ? Does a beam go around the house at the floor and roof levels? 16- There is no concept of jalli windows or jalli doors as if houseflies and mosquitoes are not a concern. 17- The windows do not have ledges or overhangs. So how will the wood weather the rain and resulting fungus degradation in the house? 18- The wooden areas facing the maximum sunlight during the day need maintenance with alsi oil or something else after an year or two? 19- Is water reuse or recycling or rainwater harvesting planned in the next phase of the construction or as incremental improvements with time as per the budget constraints 20- Drinking water arrangements are via the municipality or by treated ground water 21- How much time was spent in gathering the user requirements phase and then Implementing the design 22- Costs which could have been saved and the mistakes made 23- Overhead water tank does not seem to be there-so does the house have a good battery attached to the solar photovoltaic arrangement on the roof for the tubewell or water pumps -are some questions which come to mind

The key is to not bother about "chaar log kya kahenge ?" and just do what you wish to do in life. Good job! I liked the ventilation and the small garden very much. I didn't find the dry toilet very convenient.
Chaar log bhi bolenge ki "badiya ghar banaya hai"
All the time after learning about dry toilet I was unable to get it out of my head. Everything is quite good but not the toilet.
yes i watching a video about a very charming European equivalent but that was the catch and then there may be questions of regulations when it comes to buildings and plumbing.
It's interesting to think about in terms of problem solving, it seems like you can build out of clay with less difficulty than might be expected which is a novel concept. But this won't necessarily have anything to do with the normal plumbing requirements of buildings and whatever structural requirements and costs that involves.
In a way, if you also don't have running water (trying to remember if that was the case in the other build), you're kind of going back to before modernity in the sense that it's now accepted that functional buildings must have plumbing.
But of course that didn't used to be the case and even after WW2 in Europe, it seems there are people who remember not living with a flushing toilet indoors in the 60s and 70s.
In Sydney a lot of the terrace houses had outdoor toilets and the way sewage waste was dealt with before flushing toilets was by "nightsoil collectors".
Of course in terms of public health and minimising disease spread, changes in plumbing have been associated with improvement in health. However, I'm not sure there's anything especially unhygienic about a "long drop", but they remain a very unpleasant concept. i guess it's worth it in some situations, i assume plumbing is very expensive, to the point that instead of a flushing toilet you could buy another block of land for another building. (Edit: writing at the start of the video, for some reason i thought this was going to be a schoolhouse for disadvantaged kids, i don't know why, and i was thinking that the best means to an end in that context.)
The only disease risk i can think of is if there were some kind of biting insects also attracted to waste. It's a bit gross to think about. I'm thinking about tsetse flies now, but they are from a completely different continent. Probably India has its fair share of freaky insects tho..
Me too felt very uncomfortable about dry toilet

This is exactly how i always wanted my house to be....thank u for showing that it can be true...❤💟🥰
Beautiful house! I am really touched, because I thought we had absolutely lost mother nature’s touch👏🙏🏻
I too will have a house like this soon. Thanks for inspiring Veena ma'am.
This house is really a dream come true and kudos to you for putting down your thoughts into reality. I wish to have something similar some day.
I am from a rural place Saigaon in Karnataka, Our house is built in the same way, way back 70 years ago. It's good to see returning to the roots.
Now our house needs to be rebuild again.
Our Mud house in Chand, Chhindwara stood for around 100 yrs. Its no more there now. We have a lot of wonderful memories from there.
oh boy, I am like flabbergasted to experience such a home. I am ready to give double the cost if I get something like that. Wonderfully presented as well.
This was such an amazing learning experience I got from watching this video. I love the concept, the subtle small artworks throughout the walls of the house both in the exterior as well as in the interior are a bonus point that adds to the overall aesthetics of the house. Beginning with the shape of the house designed as a functional aspect to the ventilation works everything about this house speaks architectural perfection. But as an architect myself, I'm curious to know about the structural framework of the building, as to how a mud house supports a floor above the ground floor? Is it a load bearing structure? How is the slab constructed? I'd really appreciate if you guys let me know about the structural works of the house.
It's really vy sweet nd beautiful decision to make a life vy peaceful ...and... Make a human vy honest... Because.. Nature is most beautiful things in whole world...
I love cob house a lot.. and feel happy that there are people who are moving towards natural building..
Finally found what I was looking for! The bot is the best of them al
This is the idea where I want to built the exactly same low cost,sustainability,and using natural materials ☝️👌👍 thanks a lot for this idea😍🤩
Most welcome 😊
Thank you so much Down to Earth...I also want to build this type of house and thanx for awareness about our most valuable Nature
You are most welcome
We used to go to our grand mothers mud house on school holidays,no electricity, really fun, i love that
Just saw this wonderful video.....one word to describe... mesmerizing
Nature is in the house. Plants, water ,pets and u r furniture everything is beautiful. The way u r explaining everything is very nice.
I really love to live in this house so appreciative . It's better than so called celebrity house museum . I have a huge respect here . Totally worth it
Though I have watched this video before. I still feel like watching it again and again. It gives me calming feeling and is also informative. When I build a house in coming future, I will surely take an idea or two from this video. You are such a lovely peaceful lady. I wish I could see the house plan on a paper.
Proud of you didi and Amol and all the supporters
Wow this is what my future imaginary house looks like ... Sustainable and blends with nature!!
Beautiful house.
I can say dream house for me n those people who want to live their life with down to earth. Happy to see your beautiful house 😊
Ma'am you don't just have a beautiful house but a beautiful heart and mind too...great effort 🙏
Damn such 🥺a pretty house. Imagine the experience during rainy season 😌❤️
Nice to see sustainable and economical houses. We are producing our own ecological bricks and building our house ourselves with the bricks we produce. Soon, we will show how to produce and build with them. You save tons of money doing that!
By looking only it feels calm and beautiful , it feels to visit this home once
Calm and peaceful indeed! Must visit
I wish!! I could just visit this place once!!
I can not tell you how I love this channel!!
💯
# ALWAYS DOWN TO EARTH 🌍
Simply loved this mud house. Must be so soothing to mind
this is soo v. beautiful. "the house should blend and not stand out" loved this statement.
This is so good. Modern monochrome House gives depression. This mud house is soil feel kinda thingy gives relaxation
This shows she is amazing by heart ❤ .. The government should involve in such projects ...
Builder now a days are urban naxalites, they play with homes
This is really natural and future forward, like dream come true
I actually like it, thanks for sharing. It's all very practical, I appreciate what the young man said at the ending, that the house blended in with its environment♥️
This is exactly the same house I want for myself...awesome home
After having glimps of her mud house in previous video, i was wondering if you guys will ask more about her house or not....
And here we are ...😄🌻
You guys Never disappoint .... 🎈
Sustainably built house with such pleasing aesthetics too! The compost toilet is a wonderful idea which can even provide methane gas for cooking, but the open bath might be an invitation for unexpected wild life (?) although I love the concept.
Wow didi! What an amazing house 🏠 🛖 you have! I wish every Indian 🇮🇳 to have a similar mud or a down to earth 🌎 house once they retire. Good luck, didi! Your dogs 🐕 are really cute, as well. Cheers!! 👏👏🤗🎊🎈
My idea of an ideal home away from the Maddening Crowd.Well done and God bless
Veena'ji 🙏🙏🙏 for keeping the faith and trusting Amol'ji to deliver..
Best home for human life
Also for nature
Great Job
Your concept n house both wonderful 🌺👍👏
This is called living with the nature... I think this initiative should be a movement for the LIFE concept of NITI Ayog... please telecast this documentary all over the world by the use of local and national news channel...
beautifully designed, explained, concept.... and the main thing it is in delhi ncr..... just suprbbbbbbbbbbbb
I'm in love with this house. indeed its soothing to the soul
It's best concept in Asia the view of person was great with future aims and I love the concept of garden hope so we can build such homes in Pakistan
Beautiful experience… going through your video presentation… an eye opener; I’m truly inspired! Thank you so much…
Glad you enjoyed it!
Out of the box thinking and very practical.
I can't express my feeling. Tears came in my eyes. Actually I have been thinking since my childhood to made a mud house and watching this I felt emotional ❤️❤️👏
Great house... It will give peace and health
1-Height of roof is not shown. 2-Also how has roof been made and of what? The concrete portion of the functional part of the house is shown as the roof for sitting outside but 3- What about the roof for the bedrooms? 4- Whether dome type roof has been built to save construction cost? 90% of heat comes thru the roof during 8 hot months 5- How is the roof waterproofed for the monsoons? 6- What is the costing for the house? 7- Has gypsum been used as cement between the sundried bricks? 8- Is the floor raised above the general soil outside to keep moisture or water logging away or even act as a barrier for snakes and other creatures? 9- Are the south and south west facing walls much thicker ? 10- How does the kitchen exhaust move out of the house since cooking makes the kitchen much hotter unless its a totally open kitchen like the open bathroom concept. 11- Does a verandah go around the house to keep it cooler during the hot months? 12 - What is the orientation of the main area of the house (where maximum hours of productive time during 24 hours is spent) so as to be best for living conditions during summer or winter ? 13- Nothing has been mentioned about the wood used for the house or tackling the termite problem mentioned? Increasing the compost biomass around the walls of the house or planting tulsi and desi marigold may keep the termites busy, maybe gobar or cow dung plaster for walls and flooring used to keep the termites fed in olden times 14- There is no mention of exhaust pipes for the human manure compost pit or any special design for taking out the compost EASILY after one year of the pit being filled 15- How is the house earthquake proofed ? Does a beam go around the house at the floor and roof levels? 16- There is no concept of jalli windows or jalli doors as if houseflies and mosquitoes are not a concern. 17- The windows do not have ledges or overhangs. So how will the wood weather the rain and resulting fungus degradation in the house? 18- The wooden areas facing the maximum sunlight during the day need maintenance with alsi oil or something else after an year or two? 19- Is water reuse or recycling or rainwater harvesting planned in the next phase of the construction or as incremental improvements with time as per the budget constraints 20- Drinking water arrangements are via the municipality or by treated ground water 21- How much time was spent in gathering the user requirements phase and then Implementing the design 22- Costs which could have been saved and the mistakes made 23- Overhead water tank does not seem to be there-so does the house have a good battery attached to the solar photovoltaic arrangement on the roof for the tubewell or water pumps -are some questions which come to mind
Brillian work :) Cudos to the entire team !
Thank you very much. Please support on patreon. 😁

This home 🏡 imbibes the concept of sustainability. ✅
