According to the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, India’s construction sector is responsible for nearly 22% of total CO₂ emissions. This alarming statistic underscores the need for transformative architectural solutions. Auroma Architecture, under the visionary leadership of Architect Trupti Doshi, is answering that call—boldly and beautifully. Through groundbreaking projects like the Sharanam project, Concord meditation hall, Auroma homes, and French villaments, Trupti is proving that sustainability is not just a choice—it’s a responsibility.
Design With Purpose: The Vision Behind Auroma Architecture
Founded by Architect Trupti Doshi and building technologist Viral Doshi, Auroma Architecture fuses scientific precision with poetic sensibility. Based out of Auroville, Pondicherry, their projects stand as living systems—breathing, evolving, and nurturing. Architect Trupti Doshi's designs are not mere buildings; they are ecosystems of light, air, soil, and spirit.
With over 25 years of practice, Trupti has created spaces that exemplify human-centered design, climate-responsive architecture, and regenerative development. Every curve, vault, courtyard, and corridor is etched with the principle that buildings should be as alive as those who inhabit them.
The Sharanam Project: A Model For Sustainable Development
Recognized by the United Nations Environment Programme, the Sharanam project is a beacon of hope and empowerment. Rising from a barren quarry near Ousteri Lake, this community development centre is built entirely from unfired earth and locally sourced materials.
-
CO₂ reduction: Avoids cement and steel, utilizing rammed earth and passive cooling techniques.
-
Social upliftment: Trained over 450 local villagers in 20+ building crafts.
-
Acoustic brilliance: Vaulted roofs were designed to carry sound without the need for microphones, earning global praise.
The Sharanam project is not just architecture—it is architecture as transformation.
The Concord Meditation Hall: Where Architecture Meets Spirit
Inspired by the metaphor of a womb, the Concord meditation hall is the soulful centerpiece of the French villaments community. Constructed with earth from the very land it stands upon, it channels sunlight through an overhead aperture—symbolizing an umbilical connection to nature’s source.
In this space, silence becomes a medium of healing. It’s more than a hall—it’s a sanctum of inner resonance, where architecture becomes a conduit for reflection and regeneration.
French Villaments: Homes That Nurture Like Mothers
Every home in the French villaments residential community is designed like a person—with personality, purpose, and poetic grace. With names like Villa Courage and Villa Harmony, each structure tells a story of elemental integration—earth, air, water, sun, and spirit.
-
Design features: Passive cooling, reclaimed wood, rainwater harvesting, and solar integration.
-
Lifestyle integration: Organic community farming, zero-waste composting, and cultural commons.
-
Cultural synergy: A blend of Tamil heritage and French elegance.
The French villaments are a masterclass in how architectural detail can enhance emotional well-being while reducing ecological footprints.
Auroma Homes: Redefining Urban Living
Auroma homes are compact, villa-style apartments designed to deliver all the benefits of stand-alone homes—abundant light, ventilation, and privacy—within a streamlined footprint. Built using reclaimed wood, low-VOC paints, and thermal-efficient materials, these homes challenge the square-foot obsession of modern Indian real estate.
They embody Trupti’s belief that “architecture is not measured in square feet—it is measured in life quality.”
Sustainable School Design: Learning From The Built Environment
One of Auroma’s most transformative works in the educational sector is their approach to sustainable school design. From Indore to Coimbatore, Architect Trupti Doshi has reimagined the learning environment.
-
No traditional classrooms: Spiral-brick domes and courtyards replace boxed enclosures.
-
Experiential learning: Sundials for teaching time, water tanks for conservation awareness, and walkable geometry for math.
-
Community co-design: Students and teachers contribute to the design and construction process, creating lasting ownership.
Sustainable school design is about more than energy—it’s about igniting curiosity and values in young minds.
The Auroma Difference: Why It Matters Today
In an era of climate emergencies, mass urbanization, and soulless concrete jungles, Auroma Architecture stands as a lighthouse. By embracing circular design, low-embodied energy materials, and regenerative water and waste systems, Architect Trupti Doshi’s practice delivers not only architectural beauty but social, ecological, and emotional resilience.
