Benefits of Wooden Cottages

Natural Insulation & Energy Efficiency

Wood is a natural insulator, keeping interiors cool in summer and warm in winter.

Reduces the need for artificial heating or cooling — energy-saving and cost-effective.

Health & Wellness Benefits

Wooden surfaces help regulate humidity and improve indoor air quality.

Certain woods (like Neem, Cedar, Pine, Teak) release natural aromas and oils that have antibacterial, antifungal, and stress-reducing properties.

Especially relevant in Ayurvedic cottages, where herbal woods promote healing and relaxation.

Calming and Therapeutic Environment

Wood gives a sense of warmth, peace, and grounding.

Encourages better sleep, reduced anxiety, and mental clarity — ideal for yoga, meditation, and healing spaces.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

Wood is a renewable resource, especially when locally and responsibly sourced.

Low carbon footprint in comparison to concrete or steel.

Pure wooden cottages can be fully biodegradable and recyclable.

Fast & Flexible Construction

Wooden cottages are quicker to build and customizable in design.

Can be prefabricated offsite, then assembled on location — saving time and minimizing environmental disruption.
