“Every district has its own traditions and, by trial and error, over thousands of years, people have learned how to use, and to cope with, all the many factors which are involved in Architecture. – The Site, the Topography and Geology. The climate and vegetation, the available local materials – the religious and cultural patterns of living, and the main local occupants.”
In 2018, we embarked on a passionate journey to design a resort that transcends the boundaries of conventional hospitality. Our vision was clear - to create a haven that celebrates the beauty of vernacular living, revives the joy of simple pleasures, and offers respite from the relentless pace of modern life. This project is more than just a design endeavor; it's a profound exploration of the essence of village life and the timeless traditions that define it.
Strategy
-
Vernacular Architecture
Our design strategy is deeply rooted in the wisdom of vernacular architecture. We draw inspiration from traditional village dwellings, infusing them with modern amenities to create a living experience that harmonizes the old and the new.
-
Cultural Immersion
Our resort is not merely a place to stay; it's a cultural journey. Guests will be able to immerse themselves in the traditions of village life, from witnessing traditional art forms to experiencing the vibrant energy of local dances, tradition and art.
-
Simple Pleasures
We believe that life's true treasures lie in the simple joys often forgotten in the rush of modernity. Our project creates spaces and experiences that encourage guests to rediscover the joy of singing, storytelling, and sharing a cup of chai under the shade of a tree.
-
Collaboration
Our project has received recognition and support from Terre des Hommes, a renowned organization dedicated to child rights and humanitarian aid. We are currently in the design development phase in collaboration with Terre des Hommes.
