Fruggiescaping @ Samskruti Hoysala



Samskruti Hoysala is fast moving towards being one of the sustainable residential projects in Bangalore. As the fruggiescaping works begin at Hoysala, we are very excited.

Samskruti Hoysala will house some of the most appreciated fruit bearing plants that would provide fresh, non-pesticide fed luscious fruits and vegetables. Will keep sharing the pictures here.

Slow poisoning of India and why you should grow your own food


At Samskruti we emphasize on growing your own food and work towards sustainability of food, water and energy. Our designs facilitate a dedicated area for growing your own food using modern technologies to produce pesticide free healthy food.

I will recommend is to see an excellent documentary ‘The Slow Poisoning of India’ , a 26-minute documentary film directed by eminent Ramesh Menon and produced by the New Delhi-based The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). It deals with the dangers of excessive use of pesticide in conventional agriculture in India which is so rampant that people are eating a ‘cocktail’ of pesticides. India is one of the largest users of pesticide in Asia and also one of the largest manufactures.

The toxins have entered into the food chain and into our breakfast, lunch and dinner. The film showcases startling case studies from Kerala where villagers in Kasaragod district are paying a heavy price as it has been exposed to pesticide spraying for many years. It talks of the health impacts in other parts of India and also on how the magic of the green revolution in Punjab is fading as land and water bodies have been poisoned.

Terrace Garden

Tossing and turning? With a plant in your bedroom/balcony, you’ll fall asleep faster, have fewer nighttime awakenings and enjoy a deeper sleep. Scientist say sleeping in space with lots of oxygen in the air increases the duration of deep sleep by 10% and even helps cure sleep apnea.

Most plants emit oxygen during the day, but some work night shift, absorbing toxins and carbon monoxide and giving off more pure oxygen at night, when you need it most!

We can help you select from plants that will accentuate the look and feel of your apartment. Apart from the oxygen, plants provide a rich, aesthetic and luxurious visual comfort and feel that is also natural and healthy.

At Samskruti, we ensure your indoor air quality is better by using materials with lower emissions, ample day-lighting, free air flow and lot of other factors. This allows a lot of fresh air to your rooms and more oxygen with lots of plants in your balcony.

All apartments at Samskruti Hoysala have a private designer family area with planters and green space which allows you to breath better, feel better and live better.
