#7 days to GO - a quickfire LUMION render

muddling wid sketchup s over...
time to play>>

yay LUMION is one such software!!

it never feels like working when u actually are..

Here is ma first encounter wid LUMION (atleast for this project)

View of the sky pool from the living (Luxury Suite)

sky pool wid a water cascade formin a thin water screen - mimicking the kolli water fall

Interior Luxury Suite (incomplete)

Luxury Suite above and the Deluxe rooms below. on a rainy day in kollimalai.

P.S. : this is jus a quick fire render in lumion... if workd upon in detail it could yield much better results..

another tip - if at all your laptop is outta warranty, dont ever dare open lumion - if not for rendering.
its highly graphic intensive, it might burn ur graphic card - and yeah literally burn it :P as it happnd wid me once... :P
Cheers :P :D

#7 days to GO

with another 7 days to go.. and a mountain to climb..
les c.. if i cud rely make it :P

these are instances when i feel whether i hav rely made the right choice by choosing a contoured site..

facing the charge for being lethargic and lazy throughout..

gazin at the comp and virtually doing nothin... if things goes the same for the next few days.. Im literally gone..
waking up at 12 dint help either.

so.. wats rely the progress...??

Jus alignd ma blk in sketchup.. 

was orbiting the whole model for a couple of hours

and a couple of renders..

And the clocked ticked six.. time for a break..!!

if things continue at this pace.. dont rely think i cud make it :(

Kolli Resort - #8 more days for CRIT aka VIVA

dint rely do much work other than just refining the site plan..
restarted the work in the sketchup model..

with the pressure mounting.. gotcha device a work regimen..

with new ideas springing every now and then.. its already a lil but too late to incorporate most of em

# worked on the hierarchy of the curves  which complements the contour.. 

# reworking on the road network and the design of the admin block.

# creating points of interest along axis - primary and secondary..

Kolli Resort - Stage II

here.. the evolution of ma design.
updated layout in line with the actual levels

planning has evolved around the prime central axis which goes against the contour

# designing the spaces that goes against the contour, projecting out, creating a floating effect - ideal space for a restaurant or coffee bar. (how about a cup of coffee :P)
# these spaces are to connect the suite blocks to the main building block.
# worked on the road network but not satisfactory..

Revit model of the Main Block - Deluxe rooms and Luxury Suites (2nd floor) with infinity pool

Hill Resort - Kolli Resort - Concepts - Stage I...

Concepts..

the prime idea of the design is to make the built form, go along with the contour and in some spaces to go against it to maximize the view along three directions.

the site is entered from the road above. it is in close proximity to seekuparai view point.

a central axis and radiating secondary axis are created.

the main axis is perpendicular to the contour

wind bridge connecting the blocks withe shading fins.. 

#to enjoy the cool breeze without having to worry about getting tan in sun..

the reception and the rooms are connected by the wind bridge in the top level and could be accessed by ground in another level.

a water cascade effect has been created.. by the falling waters of the luxury suites above.

The edge facing deluxe rooms face the valley on the other side.. with frame less corner windows.

the deluxe rooms are part of the lower stories and the luxury suites are on the top.. 

#based on the hierarchy of views and for the infinity pool feel and the cascading water effect..

plan of the deluxe rooms, each having its own corner window facing the valley in the other side.
