In the outskirts of Gwalior, Dabra bypass, Madhya Pradesh, is a pioneering built structure of resort that is a study in design. “The relationship between built form, folks and public spaces never stops growing,” says Kripal Singh Bhadouria as we discussed his first project as a team Studio Chaukhat of Imperial Golf Resort. When it comes to hospitality, you have to think of something different apart from what you do in your daily life. Keeping this the main concern for the design, the team started with a small scale of 4-5 cottages at the beginning, which eventually became the large-scale project of 38 cottages in total. Efforts have been made by the site’s vendors, labourers and engineers. Most importantly, the client, Mr. Wadhva and Mr. Anshuman were always open to new experiments and Studio Aagaur for their valuable collaborations in the project.
