Designing for Comfort: Incorporating Wellness into Your Home

At Rooted Realm Architects, we focus on designing residences that resonate well with the

design brief provided by our clients, with our prime focus on utility, and comfort, followed by

aesthetics. We aim to amalgamate the rooted memories of our clients with their changed

and modern lifestyles.


We understand the importance of incorporating wellness into your homes, as it profoundly

affects your life for a long time. We focus on incorporating features like bringing in natural

light and ventilation, providing ergonomic design layouts, and creating green spaces,

aiming to improve your well-being.


Importance of natural light:

Understanding the concise site sizes available in cities like Bangalore and the dense urban

setting the sites may be located in, it is necessary to stress bringing in natural light into the

residence through various ways, like French windows, skylights, etc. By doing this, the house can take advantage of using natural light throughout the daytime, reducing the usage of artificial light and electricity during the daytime.

Improved Air Quality:

It is essential to bring in cross-ventilation to spaces within the house to ensure that hot air gets pushed as the cool air flows in. Air quality can be improved by introducing indoor plants as well. It becomes very important to provide an efficient wall-window ratio to ensure

comfortable indoor spaces.

Ergonomic Layouts:

For any indoor space within the house, we need to provide the utmost attention and detail

to the ergonomic layout. For example, in the case of Indian kitchens, we need to understand

the process each family uses to cook food to provide them with the best layout. Ideally, it has

spaces to clean, prepare raw food, cook, and store vessels, with an attached utility area to

allow space for elaborate cleaning. Apart from this, it's also important to understand their

storage requirements within the kitchen.

Emphasising biophilic design:

Considering the environmental conditions, pollution, dust, and traffic are common issues for

residents in cities like Bengaluru. Living spaces need to open out and connect with nature or bring nature into the house, as it would improve one's mood, fill up liveliness in the space, and increase productivity and creativity among the inhabitants, with increased interaction with nature.
