Where we work
Homes that breathe with the climate - thermally calm, daylit, and built from the earth they stand on.
What this looks like in practice
We design houses as small ecosystems. Orientation, cross-ventilation and thermal mass do the work an air-conditioner would, so a CHAYP home stays comfortable on a Kerala afternoon with the fans off.
Mud, laterite and filler-slab roofs keep embodied energy low and the interior cool, while courtyards and verandahs return the monsoon and the breeze to everyday life.
