pushtaini Golghar

Golghar was the first ever structure built in Geeli Mitti out of Earthbag technique with the reciprocal roof frame covered with thatch being the ultimate show stealer. Around ten people were involved in the making of this home and houses the energy and memories of each one of them. Opening the door leads you to a circular space, with light penetrating from all the opening as well as the roof that sits on top like a fancy hat. The south facing window brings in the winter sunlight onto a cob bench attached to it.

Three slim windows funnels in beautiful morning light and summer breeze from north-east. There is an attached kitchen, leading to a secret passage which is covered with transparent roof for a well-lit rain protected space. On the left of this passage rests a vertical herb wall and the right face has two doors, one opening into the bathing room while the other comprises the toilet. In between these two doors stands a basin. Grey water from these two, goes to food forest, banana circle and other water loving plants. The end of this passage leads to the lawn in front.
