Projects
Nagarkot , Hill Resort
Located in the lap of the majestic Himalayas, the Hill resort is one of our revered projects in making. The Hill Resort is getting constructed in Nagarkot, a village in Kathmandu valley. The total area under construction for the resort is around 4 acres with a level difference of 60 meters. The challenge for our designers during this project was the terrain itself owing to its hilly nature and sensitive ecology. Therefore, an extensive study on the contours and the terrain was conducted to learn the techniques of cutting the land, preserving soil, etc. for sustainable development.
Sheraton Beach Resort, Chennai
The Sheraton Beach Hotel became fully functional a year ago. The property is spread across 10 acres, of which 6 acres are kept untouched considering the Coastal Regulation Zone protection policies. The decision to go ahead and design the resort in the remaining 4 acres of land, precisely 2.4 acres being the built area, came as a challenging opportunity for our designers. However, the actual task was to come up with designs for 124 rooms in the given area without compromising on the perspectives and incomparable amenities. The total area under construction for the resort is around 4 acres with a level difference of 60 meters. The challenge for our designers during this project was the terrain itself owing to its hilly nature and sensitive ecology.
