Abstract
Nature Centric Housing redefines affordable living by merging biomimetic principles with passive greenhouse architecture. The core innovation lies in a load-bearing stone system that eliminates conventional columns and beams, instead utilizing organic geometries like shells and cellular forms to distribute stress through mass. This structural efficiency, paired with locally sourced stone and lime mortar, significantly reduces embodied energy and construction costs. Integrated greenhouse zones serve as vital thermal buffers, regulating microclimates through natural ventilation and high thermal mass. Beyond temperature control, these spaces enhance indoor air quality and facilitate small-scale food production. By bypassing complex mechanical systems and utilizing traditional masonry in modern configurations, this model offers a resilient, low-carbon residential solution. It demonstrates that combining ancient material wisdom with nature-inspired design creates sustainable, socially responsive housing ideal for rural and semi-urban development
