Responsible living means directing our habits and lifestyle to reduce exhaustion on our planet. The Cantilever House, Ghaziabad, by Zero Energy Design Lab<\/a> is an exploration in this domain of creating zero-impact buildings. Taking cues from the regional vernacular to reimagine contemporary living, the house is designed in response to the clients’ love for the outdoors. The house derives its name from the large cantilevers that highlight the scale of the building and create dramatic aesthetics. It employs a series of mechanisms to minimize resource consumption and reduce the building’s environmental impact while enhancing thermal comfort for the family of four.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
