MUD RESORT

Location : Lonavala, Maharashtra

Date : August 2021

Scope : Architecture, Interior and Landscape Design.

Located in the hill station of Lonavala, this mud resort conceptualises the essence of rural architecture with the simplicity of an authentic Indian village. The envisioned structures will employ locally available materials and rural methods of building to create spaces that would induce a sense of tranquillity for guests. At the heart of the resort lies the amenities block with a pool and a sprawling lawn. The open space will also double up as an event space.

From the reception area, the meandering pathways mark the beginning of a sensory architectural experience. The planting grove between each cotage provides for a visual screen and privacy. Every cotage is designed in an earthy colour palette with minimal furnishings and sophisticated interiors. The exteriors also celebrate the traditional Warli art made by local skilled craftsmen.
