Building Carbon Neutral Communities

Sustainable

Design

We create a living environment that is Ecologically, Socially and Economically Sustainable

Eco

Engineering

From Conception to Implementation, we use Naturally occurring Phenomena as inspiration to create an Environment that not only benefits the Earth, but also Our Residents

Renewable

Resources

All our projects include use of Renewable Resources wherever possible including Construction Material as well as Management of Waste, Water and Power

Pioneering Reloaded

Living Habitats is the new age subsidiary from the
House of Mittal, that pioneering construction
company from Mumbai. They are environmental
pathfinders and innovation is in their genes.

Labour Care = The Human Factor

Construction workers form a huge migrant population that generally lives a miserable existence on the construction site itself. Often with their families. They are voiceless and exploited. And lack opportunity in every sphere.
We ensure that our construction staff has the proper safety equipment. We do more than any other builder to help with housing, sanitation and healthcare facilities, and even education for their children.

Air Pollution

Thoughtless construction is
a major contributor
to air pollution
globally.

Rising Temperatures

CO₂ and other greenhouse gases
trap heat in our atmosphere
so we need to build homes
that cool themselves naturally.

Climate Problems

Global Warming is changing weather
patterns causing extreme climate
conditions like floods and
droughts all over the world.

Vanishing Forests

Wood and other materials needed for
construction come from natural sources.
These resources not only destroy forests,
but also the natural habitats
of countless animal species.

Sustainable Practices

Around half of all non-renewable resources mankind consumes are used in construction, making it the least sustainable industry in the world. The construction industry accounts for 40% of Worldwide Energy Usage, 50% of Overall Water Demand, 60% of Worldwide Raw Material Inputs, 80% of Total Agricultural Land Loss and 60% of All Timber Harvested

The construction industry also contributes to 23% of Air Pollution, 50% of Climate Change, 40% of Drinking Water Pollution, 50% of Landfill Waste and 50% of Ozone Depletion

SIMPLY PUT, OUR PLANET CANNOT SUPPORT THIS LEVEL OF CONSUMPTION

The Living Habitats team has its heart set on a Brighter, Greener tomorrow and is determined to do its bit to reverse this trend. Hence our apartment and villa projects are communities where humans and nature live in mutually beneficial relationships that actively restores eco-systems and supports the local population to thrive. This is more than “sustainable living”, it’s a co-operative approach that dynamically renews all life. We want to show that:

Human residential projects can be regenerative
Humans can heal what they have destroyed before
Humans can become self-sufficient in energy, water and food and establish waste and sanitation systems independent of centralized setups
Humans can build communities based on solidarity and trust

Staying true to our sustainable philosophy, Living Habitats applies cutting edge sustainable-construction practices and processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a buildings life-cycle, from design up until construction, operation, maintenance and renovation.

Along the way, we also Save Money for our residents in terms of Reduced Utility Bills and Maintenance Costs.

As a testament to our success, Mittal Auriga, the boutique apartment project at Indiranagar, Bangalore is the only Carbon Neutral building of its kind in the country.

The Solution: Conscious Living

Solar Power

Renewable energy
through a grid-tied system
with independent metering
for each home.

Natural Light

Analysis of daylight
patterns from dawn to
dusk to aid optimal
building design.

Water Harvesting

Rainwater is harvested
based on the city’s
rainfall pattern and the
property contours.

Grey Water

The water from your
kitchen, bathroom sinks
and shower is recycled
for garden use.

Wet Waste

Your garbage is
converted into compost
on-site and used to
grow fruit and
vegetables.

Dry Waste

This is carefully
separated for recycling
– including special
disposal of medical and
e-waste.

Vertical Gardens

Vegetable gardens use
recycled grey water and
compost to grow food
on your premises.

Organic Vegetables

Grown by each family
in vertical and terrace
gardens for consumption
or barter.

Why Green Construction?

Local Material

Saving on transport that generates
greenhouse gases and also
supporting regional artisan
communities.

Labour Care

Providing housing, sanitation, education
and healthcare facilities for
migrant construction workers.

Reduce Carbon Footprint

Choice of materials and new age
construction methods negate
environmental damage.

Impacting Climate

Quarrying and cutting marble
contributes to pollution – we use
clean alternatives.

Creating Green Benchmarks

The Indian Green Building Council’s
Platinum rating is extraordinarily high,
even by international standards.
But the projects of Living Habitats aim to not only meet this benchmark,
but also exceed it by far.
Because Living Habitats’ first project, Mittal Auriga, in Bangalore did exactly that!
