The Wendy House is a new vaulted residence that is located in Kerala, India. It is made from locally produced bricks and recycled materials for sustainable construction. The house is made by Bangalore Practice Earthscape Studio and is surrounded by the existing nature of the forest around it.
The lead architect at the studio spoke about the mission of the design to Dezeen, stating "Our main aim was to not harm nature by cutting down the trees and other existing natural features on the site. When we visited the site, there were lots of trees such as mango, coconut, nutmeg, and teak. Since we didn't want to disturb them, we made a grid on site and determined the shape of the house according to the placement of existing trees."
