The images of Tula's completed buildings are being photographed by Jon and will slowly be added to project highlight pages. We think he has an eye for giving a photograph a sense of feeling and place.

THE NAME

Tula is an ancient word that has various meanings in many different languages around the world.

In Sanskrit, Tulā (तुला) means balance and justice, and also references many practices of stability, strength, mindfulness and equilibrium. This is the sort of intentional contribution we want to provide to the communities we work in.
