Anand Mahindra takes viewers on a house tour in Maharashtra that would remind them of the Lord of the Rings.
Anand Mahindra, CEO of Mahindra Group, tweeted a video of a house tour on Tuesday that reminded viewers of Hobbit houses from the iconic fantasy novel and film series The Lord of the Rings.
The video shared by Mahindra detailed a house tour of AsanjA, which is known as India's First Earth Shelters residence. It is located in Murbad, Maharashtra, around 2.5 hours from Pune.
What makes this residence, which is available for renting, unique is that it is built underneath. The property is divided into two parts: a three-bedroom home and a two-bedroom flat. The subterranean property also has a swimming pool.
Curved windows along the home guarantee that enough natural light comes inside, ensuring that the location has ample sunshine.
To make sure that the place has enough sunlight, there are curved windows along the house to ensure that enough natural light streams inside.
Fascinating. A very ‘cool’ design, and I use that word in a literal sense too, given the efficient climate control enabled by the mode of construction! This is the future of hospitality, since people are looking for unique and exotic experiences in our post-pandemic world…

To me, this kinda looks like Bag-End from LOTR

"Fascinating," Mahindra commented while uploading the video of the mansion tour. A really 'cool' design, and I mean that literally, considering the efficient climate control made possible by the style of construction! People are yearning for unique and exotic experiences in our post-pandemic society, thus this is the future of hospitality..."
"Bengaluru too has a similar resort with underground caves, where the road is recreated with rocks on both sides that mimic wild creatures & finally leads to an open place with a flowing waterfall," a Twitter user said. It was quite an experience remaining alone in the middle of the night and writing about it."
"Interesting, but catastrophe management has to be examined," remarked another. such as evacuation in the event of a fire or an earthquake "What about oxygen amid heavy rain?"
