GATEWAY TO NATURE

Located in Lonavala, the site offers a surreal experience. Preserving this quality while adding to its beauty is the main focus of the design. Experiencing the entire site, yet breaking it down to an elemental level makes us appreciate nature in a unique way. Sky, rock, trees and water - appreciating these elements of nature and combining them with varying materials while maintaining a similar geometry is the concept around which the project revolves. A design which brings you closer to nature and also creates various sensorial experiences. Wide spread, it navigates you to reach the ends of the entire site.
