5 Lessons from Scandinavian Homes to beat the winter blues

December is a time when most of us feel low and just wish to curl up with the books to feel better. So, we decided to cheer you up with some Scandinavian home designs that are so apt that you will get going for an awesome winter right away! Although Scandinavia is a place where winters extend for months and are long & dark, the people there manage to keep surprisingly upbeat. How do they do it? One important thing is the design. We, at Naiknavare Developers believe in creating a home environment that is conducive to happiness.

Here are 5 lessons we can draw from these homes to beat the winter blues!

1. Let the light inside your home

 As you get rid of the heavy curtains at home and let more light in your home, it certainly brings in more warmth to your home. Scandinavian interiors are designed this way as there are very few daylight hours. Hence, a must to remember point to prepare for the winter.

2. Maximize natural light in the home

Scandinavian homes are known for the white interiors and you are surely not aware of the reason why! It is because the white paint or pale shades make their homes reflect light around inside the home and the wooden flooring and polished surfaces absorb this light making the rooms warmer. This keeps a balance in the light inside the house and outside, keeping it warmer throughout winter.

3. Wood is also important

    Having some wooden furniture and some wooden artwork on display can provide that element of balance in the overall appeal of the room or the living space.

4. The candles

T   The best part of winter is the Candles in Scandinavian lifestyle! Who wouldn’t love to be surrounded by the dim light of candles with a book and a hot cup of coffee? This lovely idea can quite effectively bring a lot many emotions to life. The atmosphere turns out to be just too magical and dreamlike. 

5. The space for nature & well being

The Scandinavian style gives a lot of importance to nature. Its emphasis on having nature close to the lives of the people is an idea that is very close to the heart of the Scandinavian lifestyle. This idea brings the outdoors and nature inside your room. This is aimed at bringing the room to life and that, definitely works in winters as not many of us prefer staying out for long. That feeling of damp and sluggish ambiance is prevented by far the most through this. This surely puts a lot of things in a new perspective.

We hope these lessons prove to be helpful for you to prepare for the winters.

Knitting a Story: A home interior is the reflection of the people who live there. Likewise, photo frames have an essential role in creating stories about the people.

Wooden frames and silver frames can never go out of fashion. The motifs or high polish of sterling silver adds a timeless royal touch to the ambience.

Vintage Photo Frames

Benefits of Green Buildings and How India is Transforming

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design is a nationally and internationally accepted rating system for the design, construction and operation of the well- performing green buildings. The system is designed to be comprehensive in scope, yet simple in operation. The real estate in Pune is slowly approaching towards sustainable development. With a variety of architectural designs and amenities provided, residential apartments, such as projects in Balewadi, Talegaon and other developing areas of Pune are grabbing the eyeballs of the buyers and investors due to the environment friendly design and surroundings of the project.

Benefits of Green Buildings:

A green home can have great benefits, of course, both tangible and intangible. The immediate and the most important benefit is in the reduction in water and operating energy costs, from the day one to the entire life cycle of the building.

Green Buildings saves 20-30% of energy and 30-50% of  the Water.
Intangible benefits are:

•    Excellent Day lighting- Day-lighting is a practice of putting the windows or different openings, so that during the day, the natural light provides internal lighting. Specific consideration is given to day-lighting while planning a building when the point is to boost visual comfort and reduce energy use.

•    Enhanced air quality: It enhances the indoor air quality and at the same time, achieving energy efficiency.

•    Health and well being of the dwellers: Data from several researches people living in green units reported less headaches, itchy eyes, breathing problems and Shaken Baby syndrome symptoms than those living in conventional homes.

•    Conservation of  the scarce natural resources.

A green building is more likely to succeed in its objective, if sustainable practices are incorporated right at the time of planning.

Chennai has set a recent  example in the green building development. The city has approximately 321 registered Green building projects. Out of which 37% are residential, 36% are commercial and 6% are railway station and the rest are few factories, landscape ad existing buildings. Chennai alone accounts more than 10 % of structures certified as eco-friendly by IGBC. Chennai has witnessed a good transformation in the past three to four years. Aiming at developing more, Chennai is ranked 4th after Mumbai, Pune and Bengaluru among the Green cities across the nation.

So, today’s trend of concrete housing material will soon be replaced by green, self-sufficient buildings and towns. The time is now demanding the shift towards a sustainable and green environment.

Is Green Housing the future of Real Estate in India?

Today, the world observes India as a land of opportunity for investment and business. Everyone needs a home to live in. And that’s the reason real estate is still booming in India. Though the concrete residential projects have increased, besides looking for the luxury properties in Pune, home buyers are paying more attention to green sustainable homes. People are recognizing the important link between green properties, cost savings and healthy living. Environmentally sustainable buildings are slowly becoming an integral part of the construction industry. Buyers have a choice to buy a house that has a minimum environmental impact.

What is exactly a Green Building?

A green building is a structure which uses less water, optimizes energy consumption, generates less waste, conserves natural resources and provides healthier living space to the dwellers as compared to the standard buildings.

22% of India’s total annual carbon emission is contributed by India’s growing housing sector. And it is surprisingly one of the highest contributors. The buildings account for 40% of the total energy consumption in India, out of which the residential projects accounts approximately 60%. Hence, it is vital to move towards sustainable development for real estate industry.

Some of the advantages of Green Buildings are:

•    Health and Wellness: Several studies and researches have shown that people staying in green homes suffer less respiratory problems as compared to dwellers in conventional buildings. So, respiratory problems drop in green housing.

•    Eco-friendly: Saves a huge amount of natural resources. Using renewable resources for construction, reuse and recycling.

•    Increased revenue: The added cost of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification is about 2-5% of the overall cost of the building. The developer can charge for “Green Building” certification but the consumer will, in turn have higher resale value and rental yields.

•    Lower costs: Green building saves 30- 40% of the power consumption. Hence, there will be a reduced electricity bill. The homes also requires 20-30% less water.

•    Government Incentives: Construction of green buildings brings good incentives from the Government to the developers that add to the value proposition for them. This incentive can be in the form of tax or premium rebates that depends upon the conditions under rating programs.

Owing to the rapid urbanisation and increased housing projects, India is currently witnessing a construction boom. In 2001, when the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) was established, only one green building marked the beginning of sustainable buildings but now there are more than 2100 IGBC certified constructions. The overall benefits of green constructions, mostly depend on the time of its designing and initial planning. However, the emerging luxury homes in Pune are focusing more on the sustainable green housing concept.

Stay tuned for more on the benefits of Green Buildings and how the green buildings are the future of real estate in India…
