Our unique aesthetic is born from a fondness for indigenous art and a deep admiration for the natural world. Elements of Nature organically assimilate into Dwar’s signature living spaces, which typically have minimal walls, often, high ceilings and open-plan layouts that spill into lush landscaped outdoors. We consciously design to facilitate cross-ventilation and make the most of available sunlight. Rustic elements like sloping Mangalore tile roofs with glass inlays in calming earth colours add warmth to our contemporary designs.
Almost all the construction material we use is either procured or produced locally in an attempt to stay true to our vision of being ecologically sound. Materials used to build a home are precious and limited; hence, we attempt to maintain a zero waste construction site.
Our choice of local materials is made at the time of conception, and is maintained all the way till the final finishes. We create living spaces that are meticulously crafted and impeccably finished to the very last detail.
Dwar aims at giving back to the environment instead of taking from it. Our team makes a conscious effort to study the effects of development on the environment, and finds creative solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of each home. We try to be constantly and consciously aware of technological advancements so they may be effectively used to contribute to sustainability.
Rainwater harvesting is incorporated and grey water reclamation is recommended to ensure very little water leaves the site. Roof top food gardens are nourished with minimal-waste drip irrigation systems. Solar photo-voltaic panels are recommended for the generation of renewable energy. Our designs inherently include carefully planned cross ventilation and plenty of skylights to reduce power usage during the day. We believe that we must responsibly share the resources of the earth with all its inhabitants, human or otherwise, and our designs reflect this belief.
Dwar is a consortium of creative minds that have come together with a common goal of creating meaningfully designed living spaces in the city of Bangalore. This flourishing endeavour had humble beginnings, which can be traced back to a single piece of land on Dickenson Road.
