M:OFA designs a true Agro Resort. The design intent was to give a firsthand experience of countryside living to the urban travelers and sensitize them to the idea of living with nature, effectively utilizing resources and minimizing waste. Apart from being amidst nature in the cottages that resonate the local materials expressed in a contemporary design, the program also includes an animal farm with poultry, cattle, goats, fish and even an elephant for the rides around the forest.

India in its last ten years has seen a new business environment, where the younger generation is no longer threatened by the western big brothers. They embrace the traditional business idioms, while continuously flying across international waters, marrying the two together at every step; an image of a head soaring high up in the sky with its feet trudging a solid, leveled ground.

Establishing projects that are affecting the “bottom of the pyramid”, and try to make people think of a more sustainable way of living might be a way to rewrite the future of the few last quiet retreats on earth. This is where the Panchabhuta foundation and Eco-Tourism are routed.

Soaltee Crowne Plaza
The project brief calls for the refurbishment and interiors of a 40-year-old heritage hotel: the original planning of the building is contemporary in nature but is infused with traditional motifs. The architectural intent and the design approach behind the refurbishment of the hotel follows a similar thought process, embracing both tradition and modernity simultaneously.
