Master Plan

The site’s linearity, old trees with enormous canopies, agricultural land, proximity to the Rajkot–
Bhavnagar highway, and the site’s natural terrain were the main influences on the architects’
decision to use a biophilic approach to design.
The architectural language was delineated by exploring basic aspects of roofs, walls, and floors.
Floors interweaved inside and outside with landscape; walls with maximum transparency to enjoy
lush vegetation; and roof being simple, horizontal exposed concrete slabs.
