EXTENT OF INVOLVEMENT
• Concept Design, Study models, presentation
drawings.
SITE
• The 41,400 sq.m forest site, along side the
Kosi River, is situated in the ‘Corbett National
Wild Life Reserve’ located North East of India
in the state of Uttaranchal. It is one of the few
places where tigers remain in large numbers &
come to quench their thirst occasionally along
the banks of the river.
• The site has dense woods of Mango,
Eucalyptus, Rubber, Silver Oak, Flame of the
Forest Guava, Pine and Bamboo trees.
• There is a steep drop of 11m to the river along
the edge where the existing resort facilities are
situated.
REQUIREMENT AND PROGRAM
• The client wanted to expand his existing
facilities by adding:
1) A fine Dining Restaurant
2) An amphitheater
3) A Health Spa
4) Eight luxury self-contained cottages.
• The project also involved the refurbishment of
the existing cottages having 32 rooms.
DESIGN RESOLUTION
New Structures
• To create spaces that blend seamlessly into the
environment.
• Use the natural contours and vegetation of the
site to dictate circulation and built space.
• Merging the boundary between internal and
external spaces.
• Use of free forms which blend with and
meander around the landscape forming intimate
spaces within the structures built.
• Maintaining views of the river and beyond.
• Setting of the project to be in a Vernacular
Indian traditional background with increased use
of local materials – Natural stone, rough local
wood, pottery, tribal artifacts and adobe building
construction.
• Project when completed to look integral with
existing facilities and not dated.
• Creating a jungle experience that educates the
customers on the environment.
Refurbished Buildings
• Up gradation of existing facilities to create a
richer experience at Infinity Resorts.
• Have additions with minimal alterations in the
