ADAPTING TRADITIONAL LAND OCCUPATION AS DESIGN SYSTEM
Ecotourism has opened up several interesting areas of work, specially with respect to sustainable living. While most ecotourist facilities were centered around an important destination such as a forest or a mountain, the current scenario is witness to the resort or the facility itself being a destination. Located in an otherwise non-tourist area, Baevu is premised on ecotourism as an experiential space that allows a fairly complete integration with the surrounding rural landscape. 
Biodiversity management helps extend the forest cover
A dynamic and working landscape adds to the user experience
Paddy fields are productive, visual & experiential
Cropping patterns allows a direct experience of changing seasons
Borrowed views of distant hills inform the architectural interventions
Exploratory sketches to weave the built & unbuilt seamlessly
Living spaces with forecourts as transitional areas
Master plan of the village with minimal built interventions
The settlement pattern is reflective of the larger region
Extensive soil and water management to revive the health of the land
A careful understanding of the land potential in all its dimensions including water, food and energy helped develop a carrying capacity for the resort as well as define its essential character. The master plan is crafted to allow built spaces based on visual and ecological parameters. All open spaces are clearly productive including traditional paddy fields, orchards and vegetable patches to cater to the guests; these spaces are at once productive and experiential.

The settlement patterns and articulation of open spaces is drawn from the larger landscape, faithfully reflecting materiality and functions. Recreational spaces too follow this language, sports and games areas are set in natural spaces; the swimming pool alludes to traditional swimming holes replete with vegetation and boulders set in a cascading terrain.

Biodiversity, soil and water management are central to the occupation of land, extending the surrounding forest seamlessly into the village, blurring the limits of both. 

Baevu – The Village is located on the rural landscape or Ramanagara, about two hours drive from Bangalore, India.
