 INTRODUCTION:
O2 life homes is a settlement in a midst of nature spread in an area of 30 acres. Located 12
kms from the city. Prominently situated on a brow of hills in Panhala, Kolhapur.

The project aims to bring a new dimensions to the way people interact with the built
environment by incorporating sustainable design solutions like use of solar energy, green
roofs that emerge gradually from the ground, rain water harvesting systems and water
reservoirs, wind mills, use of locally available materials.

Design that aims to minimize pollution and carbon emissions. This implies not only using
renewable energy sources (including wind, sun and water) but also designing energy efficient
buildings and master plans that encourage vegetation and biodiversity.
 CONCEPT & METHODOLOGY:
 The structure of building set the scale, form and rhythm of the architectural environment.

 Lightness of structure, transparency and layering are dominant design factors.

 By partially sinking the building into the hillside, the resultant thermal mass considerably reduces energy
consumption while glazed facades are protected from solar gain by external shading.

 Material pallets stick to the strict natural and locally available materials.

 The connection of building to the ground are cladded with locally available stones to enhance the visual
connection to the earth.

 Abiding by concept of conserving the biodiversity of the region by practicing In-Situ conservation.

 Natural landscaping has been practiced and the use of indigenous plants is being promoted.

 REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
1) THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SUSTAINABLE RESORT AND INDICATORS
Authors: Komet Kulkajonpluna, Vorapoch Angkasithb , Dhiranantha Rithmaneea.

The new index sustainability index can be used as a tool to assess the level of sustainable development of services offered by
the tourism industry. The index is significantly beneficial to stakeholders and relevant parties of resorts and hotels. In addition,
the GRI has been used in line with the new index to improve on the current sustainability reporting. The highlight of the index,
particularly in the subsections of the index, is the ability of the meet the needs of resorts for sustainable tourism development.
It can be seen that the results are limited in the ways certain social factors are examined. Quality assessments for a number of
topics need to be made in order to reach a final conclusion on sustainable tourism.
2) Eco-Tourism
Authors: Tiwari & Abrol, 2015

Today, Tourism is one of the key sectors generating revenue and employment. India being rich in heritage,
culture and scenic beauties, makes it one of the most preferred tourist destinations. But this also brings in
forth, the concern for conserving and protecting our major sites. The movement towards ecotourism is at once
a threat and an opportunity to create more sustainable tourism: by diverting tourist traffic to ensure the
carrying capacity of any destination is not exceeded: by planning for regeneration of natural resources; and by
generating awareness in the host community whereby they are prepared and forearmed to deal with the
negative impact of mass tourism.

3) Sustainability Tourism
Authors: Singh & Goyal

Sustainable Tourism cannot be viewed in isolation as an end in itself, since so many elements of tourism are in
fact interdependent and linked to other elements of living, doing business and community life. So, it should also
be looked at, not in isolation, but within a Visitor, the Industry (Business/Economy), the Environment and lastly
the Community to look at over all Tourism development. So sustainable tourism development then becomes a
function of each of these four principles or elements and relates to each of them and how they have cause and
effect on each other interdependently
4) A Research Paper on Eco-Tourism- Its Sustainability in India
Authors: Tiwari & Abrol

The movement towards ecotourism is at once a threat and an opportunity to create more sustainable
tourism: by diverting tourists traffic to ensure the carrying capacity of any destination is not exceeded; by
planning for regeneration of natural resources; and by generating awareness in the host community whereby
they are prepared and forearmed to deal with the negative impact of mass tourism. Only ecotourism where
the tourists, the service providers, the host community and authorities are well informed and prepared to
harness tourism as an engine of growth can yield sustainable results.
5) SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RESORT REGIONS
Authors: Evgenia Vidishcheva, Yuriy Dreizis Andrey Kopyrin

The majority of indicators found in specialized literature can be divided into 4 categories: socio-economic,
environmental, human impact and tourism. Only a comprehensive assessment of all aspects of the sustainable
development of the territorial system allows us to obtain a reliable assessment. It is also worth noting that
sustainable development is a global process, the participants of which are all economic entities, cities and
countries. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop in harmony with other elements of the global system.
To ensure sustainable development of resort areas in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, it is
necessary to develop a system of indicators that takes into account existing international experience and the
specifics of the economic, social and environmental conditions of the Russian region.
