Nestled amid the undulating hills of Hamirpur, this
resort epitomises sustainable luxury, thoughtfully
designed to harmonise with its sloping terrain rather
than disrupt it. The 1.9-acre site, characterised by
dense forests and a pronounced 28% slope, posed
significant design challenges, which were embraced
as opportunities for architectural ingenuity. The
concept revolves around minimising ecological
impact by integrating structures into the landscape,
using stilts and elevated pathways to preserve
the terrain.
