Kakkadampoyil Earth-Sheltered Retreat

In the forested hills of Kakkadampoyil, FERROGRID is building an earth-sheltered resort — grass-roofed cottages tucked into the slopes, organic dome houses and a valley-view swimming pool.

The pods are shaped in ferrocement, covered with earth and planted with grass, so the buildings almost disappear into the hillside. The pool and its dome structure are being built on the same site.

• Earth-sheltered cottages
• Organic twin-dome houses
• Valley-view swimming pool
• Grass-covered arched entrances
