We worked as eco-planners for the resort in 2005 & 2009. Palolim beach is one of the happening place in Goa and famous amongst foreign tourists for beautiful sandy beach. Zameen – Asmaan, a project is being planned near an estuarine area on Palolim beach spread over 40 acres. Mangroves, one of the threatened groups of plants in India are dominant vegetation on this land and the theme of the resort is woven around this. Instead of reclaiming the land, existing land features and habitats are used in planning whole resort. For this project, we worked in association with Goan Architects ‘Sadhales’, a group which is in existence for more than 30 years, & specialize in eco-responsive designs.
