This is a resort, that breaks the traditions of " traveling in a bubble " it is made in a very modest yet charming manner. It pays homage to the existing Marwar traditions of the area. It is made with mud walls and thatched roofs interspersed with pops of neon colour. It almost feels like a vibrant yet rustic oasis. All the furniture in this resort is custom made, they were based on women's clothing from a nearby community. The chairs were made from recycled fabric, the stone sink was made from granite and mirrors were framed with locally sourced Acacia wood, eucalyptus logs were used as beams . This project had the approach of the " Zero kilometre design " as all items were locally sourced and made in house with naturally occurring materials within the region
