Vihara: A Boutique Resort
A peaceful retreat in the suburbs, “Vihara” is a boutique resort where the architecture listens to the land and the landscape reciprocates. It emerges naturally from the ground, shaped by topography and cultural memory, being rooted in the ageless traditions of Malabar. It fits in perfectly with its surroundings by embracing tropical vernacular features like timber screens, stone walls, and sloping tiled roofs. Each space is designed to reveal itself through layers of shelter, light, and quiet.
A central courtyard, open to the sky, invites connections with people, with oneself, and with nature.
A curved stone wall combines design and nature into a single tale, while a content pool reflects the shifting sky. Between water and repose, a floating gazebo provides a quiet retreat. Vihara is a return to slow living, to breathing, to balance, it is more than just a visit, but a memory you take home
