The design and architectural elements that have survived the years are surely elevated in this newly constructed hotel as it includes breezeways and verandas, and open. So, plan layouts that celebrate communal living and allow multiple generations to interact.
The Challenges
It's a small town, and most of its area comes under the control of the Pachmarhi Cantonment Board of the Indian Army. Availability of supplies and materials was a drawback so, all of it was procured and transported from nearby places (area within 200 km range).
Getting skilled labour was also a tedious task. Therefore, a large force of workers came from Bhopal to maintain the place.
Designs Inspiration for This Project
Pachmarhi being a tourist place, greenery all around. The resort has to have the best view from all sides. Our main focus was to provide all the luxury amenities with the best view possible.
USP of The Project
Pachmarhi being a hill station requires a design that is close to nature adapting its shapes and forms. So we designed the resort with slope roof. Resort area had century old trees in surroundings which are retained and merges beautifully with our landscaping. Material selection was done keeping the local climate and nature in mind.
