4. MARRIOTT COURTYARD, MAHABLESHWAR
The Retreat is situated in
several hectares of verdant
parkland on a hill station in
the Indian state of
Maharashtra. This unusual
hotel property is located at
the edge of thick forest
adjacent to Yenna river and
the spectacular Lingmala Falls.
Within the property, outdoor
space is as intrinsic as the
indoor. Much of the “public”
areas such as restaurants and
guestroom lounges are
located on open-air terraces.
I was engaged to create both
the architectural and interior
concepts as a single design
entity as, with this project, the
two cannot really be
separated. Local natural
materials such as stone and
timber are predominant within
the structure as well as within
the interior spaces.
This “natural materials”
concept and the concentration
on environmentally friendly
construction methodologies
have resulted in this
development’s objective to be
first to be Lead Platinum
Certified in India.
