Sustainability
Being able to build beautiful homes amidst lush, green, unspoilt landscapes is a privilege and a responsibility. At Vianaar we cherish the opportunity to create beautiful homes which respect the environment around us.
GREEN SURROUNDINGS
Every Vianaar home is nestled amidst the lush verdant natural landscape that Goa offers. Be it the local vegetation of palms or carefully handpicked varieties picked specifically for planting here, the entire endeavour is to tuck you within greenery and allow nature to be a part of your home.
You are greeted by swaying palms or dark green mango trees. Your driveways are dotted with exotic foliage. Your gardens are filled with fragrant blossoms in all possible hues. Your terraces and balconies overlook a riot of plant life and your large windows open up to expanses of green and blue.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS
The Vianaar belief is that at every step of home building the elements of nature and the aspects of construction can coexist in harmony and synergy rather than at cross purposes.
Our use of heat insulated blocks reduces the consumption of steel as well as laterite stones which have to be mined. We ensure we only use low VOC paints that are far less harmful to humans as well as to the environment. We are not being symbolic when we say you can truly breathe easy in a Vianaar home. We actually mean it.
DAY TO DAY INTERVENTIONS
Beyond the construction process too, we try to do our bit when it comes to day to day housekeeping and the care we take of your finished home.
01. WATER RECYCLING & HARVESTING
There is a growing concern globally about the use, wastage and management of water. At Vianaar we are acutely water sensitive. Rain water harvesting is a rich source of water in a preciptation rich environment like Goa. Even our plumbing is designed in such a way that all the water goes straight into the harvesting pit.
02. COMPOSTING & SEGREGATION
Compost is nature’s way of breaking down organic matter so that it can add nutrients back to the soil, and the cycle of life can continue. At Vianaar homes we make sure we segregate all our garbage and kitchen waste such that the organic matter can be used in the composting pit, and nature’s processes are helped along to whatever extent possible.
Over all, at Vianaar our endeavour is that green not just be the colour you see all around you but a way of life, a reconnection to a natural organic simpler and healthier way of being. A harmony between us, our spaces and the elements of nature.
03. ECO-FRIENDLY CLEANERS
Our friendly and efficient housekeeping staff ensure that your home is always sparkling clean and fresh for your stay. In the process we ensure that we don’t harm the environment though. Cleaning processes and agents can often be corrosive, harmful and noxious. But at Vianaar we are environment sensitive and use only eco-friendly cleaners. This includes the use of minimal chemicals, opting for green cleaning products, optimal staff training, best cleaning practices and more prevention and maintenance.
This doesn’t just benefit the surrounding environment, but contributes positively to human health and safety as well.
04. DRIP IRRIGATION/ USE OF AERATORS
Drip irrigation is a type of micro irrigation system that has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, and minimize evaporation. Since we want to support and nurture the lush greenery all around your Vianaar home, we make extensive use of this technology to water and maintain the grounds.
Inside the homes, we use aerators, which regulate the flow of water by a clever system of pressure and flow. From a usage point of view, the difference is negligible, but the benefits in water saving are tremendous. In fact, tap aerators can save anything between 50% and 90% of water used.
