Crevasse - A Centre for Wellness

Situated on the Deccan Traps in Khuldabad, Maharashtra, the design is inspired by the mineral formations embedded in the rock. It is anchored on a rock outcrop at the center of the site, with close proximity to the lake and surrounding vegetation. The spaces are crafted to reflect the unique volumes of these crystal formations, highlighting key features such as porosity and striations. The design also considers the sloped terrain and utilizes locally sourced materials, ensuring that it is seamlessly integrated with the site itself.
