Taj Resort and Spa is the morphology of the traditional Himalayan village with a structure that negotiates and creates a dialogue with the contours. The relationship of the design with the rivers and rivulets in the valleys, the materiality, local construction knowledge and memorable collaborations are all crucial determinants of the architectural concept.
Arjun Mehra, MD at Darrameks Hotels & Developers Pvt. Ltd, had emotional ties with the site, which, through the design journey of the project, became even more personal. Arjun’s brief was for an architecture that shows respect to the environment and the surroundings while underlining the brand’s commitment to the superior quality of design and workmanship. The client engaged YH2 to develop the master plan and propose an architectural concept for the resort. The team at Edifice translated that vision into reality through a deep understanding of the regional building practices and domestic know-how.
