To minimize the environmental impact of building, Didi uses locally available materials. All of her projects, epitome of which is Prakriti aalay, explore the imaginative use of adobe-- the sun dried mud brick traditionally used in the area--, Bamboo, and locally mined slate and stones. Her designs adapt vernacular techniques with elegance and utility to create structures that are full of beauty and surprise. Didi has designed and executed Prakriti Aalay as a True Eco responsible Destination and her own standard of eco practices are far stringent and ahead of the leading global guidelines. Thus Prakriti Aalay is setting a benchmark in the entire region and is one of the very few in the country in responsible tourism with shades of bare luxury; while preserving and showcasing the rich vernacular architect. Designing Prakriti Aalay, Didi aspired to provide a setting for a more consciously refined style of living, making use of both tradition and science to cherish the earth and celebrate natural diversity. In an interview, Didi said, “…the most valuable things are those we cannot buy, like love and sunsets. We have betrayed our relationship with nature. We should be ashamed that we are not leaving behind a better world.” At Prakriti Aalay Boutique Eco Resort we hope to showcase ways to keep alive the beauty of the hills for future generations.
