Historic
Created by the 2008 merger of Chitra K. Vishwanath Architects and
Rainwater Club. Both organizations have operated since 1990 and bring
their distinct talents to the new firm:
Chitra Viswhanath Architects
Has designed and implemented hundreds of real estate developments –
residences, institutions and resorts – guided by ecological
principles, integrating sound water, energy and land-use thinking into
design
Rain Water Club
Has extensive expertise in providing knowledge services in water
management and rainwater harvesting, ecological wastewater treatment
and sanitation practices
Biome's unique capability lies in thinking through the key ecological
and social issues in each project. We have extensive working
relationships with specialized knowledge experts in bio-diversity,
tourism, hydrogeology, and material science, whose contributions we
synthesize into a coherent design strategy and plan of action.
Design is a highly personal process, and we place great emphasis on
client interactions to ensure the final project incorporates the
vision of sustainability with the client's aspirations for aesthetics,
functionality, and budget. The ecologically and socially sensitive
nature of our work, along with our commitment to spreading sustainable
living practices far and wide, has led to our involvement in many
nonprofit projects to benefit the natural environment and
disadvantaged populations. We have established the Biome Environmental
Trust to facilitate our continued efforts in these activities.
What we do
Biome's service offerings range from architectural and rainwater
harvesting design to environmental planning consultancy and
comprehensive water strategising. We place great emphasis on
developing strong communication channels and particularly face-to-face
interaction with each of our clients, which enable us to tune in to
the client's needs and constraints
