Anora Beach Resort, Hospitality-[]

Anora beach resort is Located on the East Coast Road, between Mahabalipuram and Ponducherry. The site is about 800 metres from the sea. The climate is usually hot and humid though the year.

Client Requirement:
The client approached us to design a 24 suite sooms as a part of a larger resort complex. since the client was unable to acquire property that was beach facing, his main brief was for us tho recreate the effect of an ocean view on aland locked site. Apart from the suites, the requirement included a conference hall, restaurant and swimming pool.

Design Approach:
Keeping in mind the client's brief, we derived our main reference point for the project as the view along the eastern coast where one gets to see catamarns used as private viewing plarforms.
Considering the site condition, the existing palm trees were kept as the central focus and the required programs has been arranged radially. since the area assigned to the resort is relatively small, the suites had to be stracked one of top of the other up to one floor. To cut down the bulk of the built-up structure, we finished the walls of the ground floor with random rubble masonry. This not only created the effect of the landscape rising up, but also added another texture to the resort complex. All the rooms are arranged around a wading pool, which the upper rooms view through a picture window and balcony, while the lower floors are provided with a wooden deck, recreating the effect of a katamarn beached on the sea shore.
The suites are typical, differing only in the design of the bath areas. One suite module is provided with an open shower which maximises this region's wet climate, the other is fitted with an open private pool.

Sustainable Elements
The rooms are arranged radially, which, along with the rooms' overhang, ensures that the balconies and wooden decks are shaded during the hottest time of the day, all through the year. The rooms are staggered, thus letting us create a  stack effect colling system along with the wading pool. The extra thickness of the random rubble wall does not let the transfer of heat into the suites and maintains an even temperature. Random rubble masonry material is soureced locally. the upper floors are finished in plaster with white paint, which reflects the sunlight.
