Description of the Design Exploration:

Shrivardhan sits on the coastal are of Konkan region of Maharsthra, with a beautiful and reasonably frequented beach. In spite of being a small sized cosy beach side town, the tourism in the town has never really been facilitated well. The accommodation facility still remains restricted to home stays and private rented out residences. 
Shrivardhan lacks any other formal occupation apart from the business of home made produce from the ‘Wadis’ (Banana, Coconut and beetle nut plantations) and fishing activity.  In the proposed DP of Shrivardhan, the entire focus is being given to accentuating tourism development of the place. Locals and tourists, with equal enthusiasm, have been waiting for the ways in which to kick start the movement. 
WATER SPORTS ACTIVITY ORIENTATION AND TRAINING CENTRE WITH RESIDENTIAL FACILITY.

The resort and training centre is intended to orient and enhance the experience of the many tourists who visit this beautiful and cosy coastal town. Being ‘one of a kind’ resort and activity centre, the client wants this to be precedent in terms of its Architectural statement. The resort will give the tourists an opportunity to experience the socio- cultural fabric of the region and also the art and architecture of this historic coastal town.
