Context - One of the most striking features of the site is its setting. The site is situated between the gigantic Sahyadri mountain range, the mesmerizing waters of Gautami Godavari dam and a mosaic of multi-toned farmlands, sporadic trees, cattle, cows, buffaloes, sheep, goat and so on.
Site Plan
The region has a hot and dry climate especially during summers, but enjoys pleasant monsoons and winter conditions. The first intention of the project was to design spaces that responded to this setting. Most of the spaces are designed to create shade with minimum walls to allow maximum natural light and ventilation. All the buildings are perforated with courtyards and green pockets makes the project breathable and decreases the ambient temperature and adds the necessary moisture required in a hot and dry climate.
