It is a tall order to match up to the verdant beauty of Kerala. The Park is located on the banks of the Vembanad Lake, the largest in the state. So, Mancini Enterprises takes a smart turn here - going abstract. Assigned to design the landscape and interiors of the luxury resort’s spa, guest rooms and suite, and restaurant; architects Dimitri Klein and Neil Schoenfelder have put up stone totems to worship the water. The materials used are all local, tweaked into contemporary moulds.
The exterior is built to make the lake look even more appealing - a leaning triangular behemoth is the highlight of the hotel’s landscape. The interiors are equally self-assured, what with the custom-made linen with beautiful black and white prints, generous granite inlays and wooden accenting. This project shines a spotlight on Mancini’s love for nature, and how it believes in letting natural elements influence its designs.
