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.
Spread over
17 green acres.
Over 200 villas
built in two phases.
Surrounded by
micro forests.
Natural canopies, sky-blue skies, moss-green forests, filtered sunlight, fresh air, natural water bodies, wild play areas, and thoughtful, non-intrusive architecture make up your home in the forest .
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.
-Robert Frost
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.
Double to triple-height ceilings, open views of the upper levels of the house, and turbo ventilators encourage natural airflow in the villas.
Built around trees, the two-storey clubhouse at Atavi is designed to promote togetherness, fitness and relaxation.
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.
The mini fruit and vegetable farm at Natura Atavi is perfect to coo over new born tomatoes or baby oranges, as they unfurl and ripen.
The Green Tomato Jam
Ingredients
6 medium, firm, green tomatoes
Finely grated lemon zest Juice of 1 organic lemon (about 1/4 cup)
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup wild honey
2 pinches coarse sea salt
1/2 vanilla bean
Steps:
Hollow Porotherm bricks, are used for the walls, keeping your home cooler in summer, and warmer in winter.
The top soil is reused in the construction of the bricks that are used in the making of your home.
Centralised organic waste composter, integrated with STP, recycles wet kitchen waste into compost for the garden.
Step into the forest with no purpose.
Simply being around trees is healing.
Begin with slipping out of those shoes, feel the textures of the earth.
Open your eyes to the limitless hues of green, yellow and red.
Breathe in the scent of blossoming shoots and flowers.
Listen to nature. She has something to say.
Natura Atavi is eco-friendly and self-sustaining. Solar power and wind power is harnessed and used, and all water is recycled.
The advanced water management system makes your home 100% rain-water sustainable.
Solar heaters, and solar panels provide the necessary heat and energy, without burdening your wallet, or the environment.
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.
