INTRODUCTION :

• Our life has been evolved and education has flourished in recent
times.
• Although the stress has been increased on the individuals making
them need to entertain themselves.
• From here the idea of tourism resort appeared and people
usually travel from one place to another in order to find
entertainment and relaxation.
• The approach in this research is to design an environmentally
friendly resort that will serve the environment.
• The resort is considered a place for relaxation, entertainment for
the visitors and tourists.

ECO WELLNESS RETREAT :

• An eco-resort offers a tropical experience to visitors. Such a resort

makes only a minimal impact on the environment without
compromising guests’ safety and comfort.
• It can also be an economically viable alternative to typical air-
conditioned structures.
• The eco-resort has to draw on and blend with the local natural
and cultural environments by employing principles of
Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD).
• It must minimise the use of energy through passive solar design
and, where additional energy inputs are required, it should utilise
the renewable resources of sun, water and wind.
• It should also make a minimal impact on the environment by
limiting waste, emissions, pollution and other undesirable effects
of its operation.
• In very broad terms, the impact that the resort will make on the
environment can be derived from solutions adopted for:
- ENERGY AND WATER SUPPLY
- DISCHARGE OF WASTE AND EMISSION
- CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY and MATERIALS used in
buildings and infrastructure.
- DIRECT HUMAN IMPACTS through daily activities on the
site
AIM :

• To design an eco resort not only for leisure but will offer tourist a
complete eco experience and relaxation from the stress of the
everyday life

OBJECTIVE :

• Provide a recreational environment for varieties of facilities and

functions.
• Comfortable design which portrays an environment of leisure and
promotes interaction with nature.
• Respond to climatic and energy consumption issues raised by
present day architecture through sustainable design
• Designing with the suitable perspective to the surrounding
environment and without the environmental disadvantages.
• Locating the buildings with public spaces and common facilities
for encouraging local interaction.
• Cost effective and functional design.

IMPORTANCE :

The combined development principles of two prominent trends in

the hotel resort industry, the eco-resort, has resulted in a new
ecologically conscious hotel sub-type : the Eco-Resort.

• The applications of green technology and practices has moved

from far-flung eco-resort to inner city hotels. The attraction that
guests feel to vacation while promoting environmental
responsibility is now being supported for those who choose to
vacation eco resorts and seek the amenities afforded by those
lodgings while contributing to the health of our planet.
• Eco resort produce the environment beneficial local community
and help guest learn about the local surroundings.
• True eco resort not only offers eco friendly sighting but also the
accommodation, transportation and other faculties.
 SCOPE :

• The scope of project are the eco resort with recreational facilities.
• They intended to go some distance far from city so that they can
enjoy the environment.
• The project provides a lot of scope for site planning and
landscaping.
• The project provides an outlet to study the local architecture: an
exercise in the evolution of an architect vocabulary which takes
the inspiration from the local and architecture, keeping in mind of
the climatic factors, behavioural pattern and user attitude.
• It also provides the opportunity to study the local culture and
heritage.
• A resort demands the formulation of an ambience which can
provide people to relax and leisurely spend their time, at the
same time satisfying all their functional aspects of the design.
• With the increase in level of income and dual income in the
family, people are frequently enjoying vacations and seeking
some quality spaces.

LIMITATIONS :

• There will be limited research and study on feasibility of project

and detailed site suitability will not be analysed.
• The project will not cover detail related to landscape design
though research will be done according to architectural
requirement.
• The project will not focus constructual analysis of built structures
of resorts, although structural consultation will be made and it will
not be sufficient.
• Detailed environment assessment will not be done due to
limitation of knowledge in this field and it is not our primary
focus.
