Google map location of Koti Resorts View of cottages View of Koti Resorts   Koti Resorts (Hotel Project) Constructed commenced 1991 Location : Baldeyan, Himachal Pradesh GENESIS OF A HOTEL PROJECT - KOTI RESORTS, NALDHERA, SHIMLA How does a Newbie make an entry into the HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY.......??? Or, to be specific – HOW DOES ONE MAKE A HOTEL...... GET INTO THE HOTEL BUSINESS...??? Agreed, the business of teaching/learning of getting into this mammoth Industry is also BIG BUSINESS. Considering that almost each and every city in the country has several institutes/colleges/ and even University departments have jumped onto the band wagon of this reasonably popular academic course. So when a long time friend from the neighbourhood wanted to start a new business/career on a family held plot in the hills – it smelled like a good opportunity. As a student of the University, he was also accidentally pushed into the “business” of running the University Cafeteria – which was on contract ...

Farm House near Sirsa

Image
This farmhouse located in grassroots rural India near Sirsa, Haryana, shows how good design can harmonize timeless aesthetics with rural practicality.  The ground floor is designed as a vibrant entertainment space with a caretaker’s room and a generously shaded verandah that not only provides relief from the harsh sun but also serves as a multi functional space for resting, gathering, and managing farming activities.  The first floor houses the private living quarters, elevated for privacy and optimal ventilation. A key feature of the design is its solar orientation—the placement of windows ensures maximum winter sun and minimal summer heat gain, reducing reliance on mechanical systems. Landscaping uses native plantings to create a low-maintenance, verdant buffer around the home while integrating the built form into the surrounding fields.  Plumbing was designed with grassroots sensibilities—simple gravity-based systems, soak pits, and water reuse strategies reduce enviro...

Farm House

Image
A victorian style farmhouse  Location: A village near New Chandigarh Typology – Steel roof frame supported on a concrete skeleton. Prefabrication is at the core of our construction strategy, and the project management ties it all together. While the visual language of the home harks back to a bygone era, the construction process is anything but traditional. The entire structure is a concrete frame with a steel framed roof ontop - assembled with maximum efficiency.  Using such techniques allows us to deliver timeless architecture with modern efficiencies. Especially in remote or environmentally sensitive sites, prefab methods reduce environmental impact and allow greater flexibility in design without compromising durability or aesthetics. Internally, the farmhouse is designed with simplicity and elegance. It has large 16’0” deep verandahs. Architecture is not just about shelter—it’s about shaping experiences, values, and future narratives. Projects like this farmhouse allow us ...

Farm House

Location: A Village near New Chandigarh A sweeping 270° (or more) view—interrupted only by a lone tree across the road. That’s what this elevated site offers. It’s also why a special viewing deck was added on the first floor, positioned above the Living-Dining area below. To the northeast lie fields that change with the seasons, bordered by a forest. It’s truly idyllic—this setting was the only and ultimate reason behind the choice of location. A typical slice of Punjab, where you hear the kooh kooh of water pumps and the calming chants from two nearby gurudwaras. The gentle sounds of rural life waking up all around create an atmosphere of complete serenity. And yet—just a few kilometers away, as the crow flies—is a modern food court with your usual suspects: Barista, McDonald's, and more, nestled in a high-rise tower. You could easily give Gen Z directions to your home using that landmark (or, of course, Google Maps). A short drive brings you to a village that covers your daily ne...

Prefabricated House - Single Storey

Image
This is just one of the many possible forms — that can be created to design a truly unique cottage for yourselves, anywhere in the world. We're envisioning a single bedroom cottage that is in harmony with its surroundings and operates autonomously—powered by solar energy for heating, cooling, lighting, and possibly even cooking. Imagine solar cookers integrated into the south-facing walls, alongside solar water purification systems. Add to that small wind turbines generating electricity to charge storage batteries—perfect for running built-in security systems. Dedicated solar panels could also be used to pump water for daily use. The structure itself would be well-insulated, and the entire cottage would be a CKD (completely knock-down) design—engineered for portability. All you’d need is a foundation in a beautiful location with a great view… and you’re all set. So—what do you think? Interested? Tel: +91 9316511166

Image
YOUR HOME   The Most Important Purchase of a Lifetime Your home is the most important purchase you will ever make. Probably, it is the largest in rupees; certainly, it is the one that will most directly influence your comfort, happiness, and well-being for years to come—if not for life. From the time of its purchase, a good home means more to you than anything else you can buy. You may well look forward to it being the center of your life’s interests, most cherished desires, and pleasant memories. Its qualities will be perpetuated in the very dispositions and characters of your children.
