As the owners of Splendour Country soaked in the breathtaking view from the cricket box pitch, they lamented its occasional use. With talks of expanding the residential facilities underway, an idea struck. A couple of days later, we were approached to design 8-9 temporary, experimental, and "instantly attractive" cottages on the very same land.

The challenge was to erect these cottages overlooking the magnificent vista without disrupting the natural terrain. Seizing the opportunity to experiment with simpler structural solutions on complex landscapes, we utilised CSEB Blocks and mild steel framing, while repurposing leftover shingles from the banquet hall construction to stay budget-friendly. As requested, the structure could be easily dismantled in the future, with materials reused or recycled on-site. Today, the cottages gracefully follow the curvature of the contoured landscape of the Khadakwasla hills, allowing residents to relish the splendid views.
