A sneak peek into Kora Retreat, a wellness retreat located at Sikre, towards the northern end of the Shivapuri National Park. This collaborative process involves stakeholders from Nepal, Tibet, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
The research on the contoured context and the design approach of 3 different zones have been the key to making the vision/ master plan. Each zone has an identity of its own but all of them are clustered around a square. On the top, we have Summit Sq., in the middle Salt Sq. and below is the Entry point.
The scale model helped the stakeholders to imagine the Nature-embracing philosophy of SMA. A carefully crafted network of Nature Trails connects the Squares. This is totally against the “JCB approach” that we, unfortunately, see too much in the Himalayas.
