PROBLEM:
For a 50 acre development project in rural Maharashtra, it was important to use the allotted 8 acre recreation zone for the use of new owners and for visitors to a planned eco-resort.
Seasonality of streams and abandoned farm plots with no system for trails or amenities made it difficult for development work to be done. There were not many existing trees and a planting plan would have to created.
Stream systems were in need of guidance and cleaning, and landscapes needed mending and planning.
SOLUTION:
By studying and documenting the landforms and waterflows, we were able to understand the seasonal flow of water and opportunities for ecological restoration.
Along with the restoration of land, we planned and guided the stream systems, and deepened and created natural swimming holes where possible, for small and large groups in different sections of the landscape, as an arrangement for visitors.
A trail system was designed and developed, which would minimize the impact of foot traffic on the land.
Planting plans were drawn up using native and edibles species, and streamside plants were added to check monsoon erosion.
Concept sketches for bamboo constructions were drawn up and additional hospitality spaces marked on a map, to allow for decentralized hospitality operations for the eco-hotel.
