New Villa
in Kakkanad
About Us
Prakriti, meaning ‘the original or natural form,’ perfectly encapsulates our philosophy. Additionally, our vision aims to be pioneers in sustainable architecture and construction, establishing new benchmarks for eco-friendly design that emphasize quality, durability, and beauty. Looking ahead, we foresee a future where buildings not only coexist with nature but actively contribute to its preservation, thus fostering a more sustainable and harmonious world for generations to come.
Our mission is to redefine sustainable living through innovative architecture and conscientious construction practices. Within our Eco-villa communities, we combine the artistry of traditional carpenters with the precision of time tested stone masonry to create premium and luxury villas within a secure, gated environment.
Our meticulously crafted designer residences use timeless and vernacular materials, showcasing the enduring beauty that only improves with age.
Each peaceful home offers a tranquil and relaxing space, reflecting our deep commitment to environmental harmony and the well-being of our community.
Lastly, we have transformed the conventional approach, offering a unique experience where we do not merely build your home but artfully craft it to inspire. Drawing inspiration from the principles of Laurie Baker, the renowned ‘Gandhi of architecture,’ we design sustainable villas that harmonize with their natural surroundings.
