Located in a 100-acre plot amidst hills in Udaipur, Rajasthan India, the Miraj Village resort design takes cues from the old organic villages in the region. On a series of small hills with a contour difference of upto 57m, this resort is divided into village like clusters along the existing contours. Different types of units are designed based on the contours with some entered at a higher level & stepping down & others entered from below & stepping up. In addition, a variety of rooms & villas add to the organic nature of the design.
An existing stream of water is incorporated within the layout widening it to act as a lake, a water reservoir, a social interaction space as well as provide for boating. The entire layout is traversed through golf carts with limited vehicular access to reduce pollution. The design facilitates cross ventilation & natural light making the spaces very energy efficient. Rammed earth walls, lime plaster, terracotta filler slabs, retaining the existing contours, screens for mitigating heat gain, water recycling, water harvesting & the use of local materials & contract labor will make this project very sustainable & with a minimal carbon footprint.
