- WORDS BY SEEMA SREEDHARAN

Both Anirban Bhaduri and Sanjay Mondal, Co-Founders, Innate Architects is of the strong opinion what while architecture in its journey of being utilitarian and aesthetic, must be based on three principles -- analytical approach, common sense, and sensitivity to its context. And the Kripanidhi Luxury Resort at the foothills of Vaibhargiri Mountains, Bihar checks all the right boxes. The retreat is spread across two acres and features 48 air-conditioned rooms and two suites. The four-bedded rooms are tastefully furnished with high-quality furniture, upholstery, and linen, and every room boasts a balcony offering breathtaking panoramic views of the majestic Vaibhargiri mountains.

The design was deeply influenced by its natural setting, allowing the beauty of the Vaibhargiri Mountains to take center stage. The brick façade's rustic charm and earthy tones allow it to blend harmoniously into the surroundings, while its innovative design and bold expression make it a striking feature of the landscape, creating a captivating contrast between tradition and modernity. “We believe in designing spaces that inspire and endure,” says architect Anirban Bhaduri.
