ABOUT
MASTER PLAN

The site (5 acres) is a part of a large coffee estate. The landscape design weaves the pre-sited
buildings and roads into a series of transitions. Buffers between cottages create a contrast with the
existing silver oak plantation. The attempt is to create a response to the natural quality of the place- a
coffee forest.

 THE CLUB HOUSE
After an extended morning on the road, it is time to
finally disembark from your drive into the freshness of
CLUB HOUSE SECTION the Resort setting. A dramatically grand architecture
welcomes you. This is where the concierge and
lounge space are accommodated, part of the Java
Rain clubhouse.

The clubhouse showcases the most theatrical work of

architecture on the estate. It comprises an organically
shaped canopy that appears to levitate naturally off
the ground, supported by 3 ferroconcrete columns.
The columns are abstract interpretations of forest
flowers, with petal like arches sensually moulded into
the canopy like clay.
