A post shared by Priyam Saraswat (@priyamsaraswat)

Content creator Priyam Saraswat (@priyamsaraswat), who posts about different houses and their stories on his Instagram handle,  recently posted about a minimalist and sustainable home in Bengaluru. The video begins with him appreciating the beauty of the house and asking the homeowners, a lovely Bengaluru couple, permission for a home tour. The home in the video is named ‘Satya chitt’, which means true consciousness. During the tour, the couple shared details about the house and how they designed it with love. 

The walls in the house are prepared with mud and colourful bottles that give it a vibrant reflection. Making the best use of rainwater, they have a rainwater harvesting system at their house and a hand pump right at the entrance. The doors have the traditional vibe with their vibrant colours, and one of them is 15o years old and has been brought from Rajasthan. They also have a tiny natural pond with a bridge and breathing mud walls that actually help them keep their house cool. Interestingly, they don’t have an air conditioner in their home. They have also designed a meditation space and placed earthen pots on the roof to control the temperature.

The most important part of the house, the kitchen, is designed with a mix of modern and traditional styles. It has pastel green cabinets that go perfectly with the brown backdrop of the house. What we liked about this space was that it had lots of natural light, thanks to open spaces. The couple have even added a pulley system to pull items upstairs. They also showed their room and the kids’ room. When asked about their occupation, the woman mentioned that she owns a restaurant, and the man is an IT professional.
