Located on the historic Rameswaram Island, nestled between the Indian mainland and Sri Lanka, the landscape concept for this boutique hotel draws inspiration from the sublime nature of the shoreline and the local vegetation, particularly the resilient grasses that thrive in harsh saline conditions. The design language reflects the muted palette of the sea, sand, and greenery, emphasizing their layering and the horizontal arrangement of space.

The material palette explores a spatial interplay of contrasts, textures, and colors. The design articulation adheres to a minimalist approach, focusing on the basic interplay of rectangles. The planting palette is deliberately limited to seven or eight species, carefully selected for their ability to thrive in the highly saline air and soil conditions.
