Anasuya Story

Just off the scenic East Coast Road, down South India and close to the Odiyur lake, is Anasuya Eco-Habitat. Home to a variety of native & migratory birds, with suitable soil that has been maintained free of all chemicals.

The area is one of the most fertile regions on the East Coast Road, close to Chennai.

Factors that influenced the decision 14 years ago…

  • Organic land with good soil condition
  • Close to city – 90 Kilometers from Chennai and 60 from Pondicherry on the ECR
  • Scenic drive – one of the top 5 in the country

 

The Architect that I was looking for

A Divine Timing - After 10 years into the project and looking for an Architect for natural homes, meeting the Architect from Auroville referred by a close friend, who happened to be a great friend and neighbor for a couple of years during my teens.

Food Forest

 

  • Biodiversity of flora by planting a diverse variety of native species of trees, shrubs, and bushes
  • Plant biodiversity will in turn attract a range of fauna from soil microbes, soil organisms, beneficial insects such as bees and butterflies as pollinators, to birds and small mammals
  • Soil rejuvenation through the biomass generated out of the flora
  • Natural farming methods that such an ecosystem can support without the use of external inputs and chemicals
  • A diversity of edible crops to include self sustaining perennials that need less care and will feed us all through the year and some annuals that are seasonal with one harvest per year.
