Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: Existing development in Wayanad with a steep terrain
adjoining paddy fields towards its south-east direction forms
the site. The design evolved as a response to the topography
of the site: the need for orienting spaces to harness the wind
as well as opening up spaces to the beautiful views of the
paddy fields. The rustic aesthetic for the resort was achieved
by blending the vernacular materials used by Wayanad’s
indigenous communities, with a mix of contemporary
styles of architecture. There is an interplay of built and
open volumes, with courtyards and waterbodies welcoming
nature into the design. The timeless minimalistic design
allows the guests to disconnect in repose away from the
hustle and bustle of the city.
