Trails Resort

Nestled in Chikmagalur’s hills, Trails is a luxury resort blending pyramid-inspired architecture with modern comforts—offering 20 private pool cottages, event spaces, and immersive natural experiences.

The resort’s iconic design features pyramid-inspired structures that echo traditional South Indian temple forms, reimagined through modern materials and planning. The central reception block anchors the layout, leading into a fine-dining restaurant, banquet hall, and landscaped event zones that frame the guest experience.

The resort includes 20 private cottages, each with a private pool and jacuzzi, offering ultimate privacy and comfort. Complementing these are a banquet facility, outdoor pool and bar, and dedicated event spaces, making the resort equally suited for quiet getaways and large gatherings.

Challenge

Designing Experience in Terrain

  • Site Planning: The undulating terrain demanded a phased, level-sensitive layout to preserve views and minimize cut-and-fill.
  • Cultural Interpretation: Translating pyramid temple forms into functional, modern spaces required thoughtful reinterpretation and careful detailing.
  • Integration with Nature: Blending built forms into the natural setting while ensuring guest comfort and operational efficiency was key
