The project envisions a sustainable, climate-responsive resort that integrates luxury with eco-conscious design using drywall construction. It prioritizes thermal efficiency, energy conservation, and universal accessibility. Key spaces include cottages, restaurants, cultural pavilions, recreational zones, a clubhouse, and nature viewing decks. The design should explore innovative drywall applications to enhance sustainability, reduce resource consumption, and minimize the carbon footprint while ensuring a seamless guest experience.

The learnings from GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) emphasize sustainable design strategies that enhance energy efficiency, resource optimization, and environmental harmony. Key takeaways include passive cooling techniques, efficient water management, optimized daylighting, and material selection based on life cycle assessment. GRIHA’s approach encourages minimizing the building’s carbon footprint while maximizing occupant comfort. By integrating these principles, the design ensures sustainability through climate-responsive planning, reduced energy consumption, and eco-friendly construction practices.

My contribution to the group involved in-depth research on the GRIHA rating system and a detailed analysis of green buildings. I actively participated in the entire design process, gaining a comprehensive understanding of GRIHA criteria and their application in sustainable architecture. This experience helped me explore passive cooling strategies, efficient water management, optimized daylighting, and eco-friendly material selection. By integrating these insights, I contributed to shaping a climate-responsive and environmentally conscious design.
