Gujarat is blessed with enculturation; a culture shared with members of the society and passed on from one generation to the next. Enculturation has united people with common experience and influence that lead to knowledge and appreciation of cultural traditions and lifestyles. Understanding this, the entire area has been designed to reflect Indian Traditions.

The entire landscape is designed in a way to elevate the beauty of the club house. Every step taken in this area, makes one feel connected to the Indian culture & heritage.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The fountain placed at the entrance has been shaped in the form of a lantern which depicts Indian culture of welcoming guests with lights and water for washing down the negativity before entering the club house. The use of locally available materials along with skilled craftsmanship has resulted in creating a fabulous setting. The clients desire to create a royal ambience with the use of traditional elements has been fulfilled through this design solution which gives the project an earthen feel.
