Home - Natura Atavi

It wears a million shades of green, from emerald to sea, from olive to apple. It speaks a million tongues – from whispering wind, to warbling water, from ribbiting frog to rustling leaf.

It’s alive. It’s primordial.
It’s the forest.

The inspiration for
your home.

non-intrusive architecture make up your home in the forest.

The Sound of Trees

I wonder about the trees.
Why do we wish to bear
Forever the noise of these
More than another noise
So close to our dwelling place?
We suffer them by the day
Till we lose all measure of pace,
And fixity in our joys,
And acquire a listening air.
They are that that talks of going
But never gets away;
And that talks no less for knowing,
As it grows wiser and older,
That now it means to stay.
My feet tug at the floor
And my head sways to my shoulder
Sometimes when I watch trees sway,
From the window or the door.
I shall set forth for somewhere,
I shall make the reckless choice
Some day when they are in voice
And tossing so as to scare
The white clouds over them on.
I shall have less to say,
But I shall be gone.

In each of the villas, the power of the elements has been harnessed to enhance modern living, while also allowing nature free rein. The villas are surrounded by micro forests grown using the Miyawaki technique.

Breathing
in the fresh,
forest air.

Double to triple-height ceilings, open views of the upper levels of the house, and turbo ventilators encourage natural airflow in the villas.

At the Club House

Built around trees, the
two-storey clubhouse at Atavi is designed to promote togetherness, fitness and relaxation.

At Play

Rainforest-themed wild
play-area designed to help kids feel at home in the outdoors. For those under three, we have a special toddler zone.

At the Farm

The mini fruit and vegetable farm at Natura Atavi is perfect to coo over newborn tomatoes or baby oranges, as they unfurl and ripen.

Wild Landscaping

It’s more about lush and natural greenery, and less about manicured lawns. It’s definitely about natural enclosures of healing plants, and certainly not about straight rows of begonias.
