Anaya Beach Resort, Southern India
A concept design for a 5 star spa resort amongst one of the most beautiful palm lined beaches in Southern India.
The resort is a destination retreat for relaxing and receiving treatments in harmony with the beautiful natural context. Subsequently the ethos of the resort of ‘stepping’ lightly on the environment and being ‘at one’ with nature is reflected in the choice of materials, massing and organisation of the individual buildings
Traditional materials, forms and construction techniques are proposed for the buildings helping retain the local identity. The resort itself would be managed and as such local habitats cared for in the best interests of visitors and the natural environment.
The organisation of buildings on the site are based on a radial site plan with the pool, restaurant and bar forming the heart of the resort. This radial design is efficient in terms of circulation and provides views out from the site towards the sea and sunset. Project now completed and open to visitors. www.carnoustieresorts.com/
