innovative houses

To make sure that no tree was cut down to build his dream home, Udaipur businessman Kul Pradeep Singh built a home atop a 40-foot mango tree. He's even found a mention in the Limca Book of Records.

“Reclaimed wood from demolished houses fulfilled the entire wood requirement of the home. Not a single tree was cut down. I feel our biggest achievement in this house is to keep it cool naturally, in a place like Mangaluru."
