Resort in Darjeeling

Project Location: Darjeeling, West Bengal

Project Architect: Ar. Lhendup W. Bhutia  

Status: Proposal

At the calm and serene outskirts of Darjeeling, deep into the woods is situated this luxury resort. A majestic entry led by flower covered arcade, makes one flow organically along the stone paved paths into the rustic A-frame cottages generating a level play of contours & intermediate wooden decks & stairs connecting all the individual components with one another. In contrast to the artsy wooden exteriors, interiors are kept subtly white & gray, with huge skylights & glass windows infusing warm sunlight & fresh air. All the cottages are placed radially directed towards a central gazebo to be used for bonfires & barbeque gatherings for the guests.
