Introduction
Chapter 1 : The Pillars of Good Earth
An array of designs
Every house at Good Earth (over 700) along its expansive 60 acres exhibits a variety of pillars, with its myriad of colours, textures, and designs. From a vantage point, when one looks at the elevation of the community, these repeated elements singularly become a harmonious narrative unifying all the residences. However, when observed more closely, we tend to identify the unique design structure distinctive to each house.
Moreover, semi-open spaces play a significant role in defining one’s experience with nature. Apart from marking the divide between the outside and the inside, these pillars frame the outdoors. When adorned with solid wooden pillars, it creates an experience of its own for the residents adding the old-world charm and warmth while basking in the openness. Thus, an open verandah, internal courtyard, or a balcony flanked by traditional wooden pillars acts as a delightful pocket where one can feel rejuvenated to work or relax.
