Ananda in the Sahyadris A Seamless Blend of Indoors and Outdoors

Roha, Maharashtra, India

挑战

To create a seamless transition between the natural beauty of the exteriors and the elegance of the interior spaces, while preserving a largely forested site with more than 8,000 valuable trees.

解决方案

The resort consists of more than 60 buildings that have been carefully located to preserve the existing vegetation. Less than 10 trees were sacrificed during construction, which is expected to wrap in 2020. A 30,000 square foot (2,787 sm) spa and wellness center at the heart of the estate functions as an anchor for the surrounding accommodations. Wide courtyards, shaded walkways, open verandas and spacious decks connect guests to the exquisite, verdant landscape.

设计影响

Through careful orientation, buildings rely on natural ventilation without the need for air-conditioning throughout the day, and they conserve water by harvesting and storing rainwater during monsoon season for irrigation during more arid parts of the year. The resort’s harvested rainwater will also replenish the wells of neighboring villages, providing locals with an abundant water supply.
