Amphibious beach resort, minicoy island, Lakshadweep

Abstract

Lakshadweep, the group of 36 islands is known for its exotic and sun-kissed beaches and lush green landscape. Everyone wants to experience a glimpse of nature’s beauty and the rich cultural treasure with all the luxury included. And a bit of adventure adds to the overall experience. This thesis aims at providing the tourists a luxurious accommodation which would be cradled amongst untouched pristine beaches and lagoon. Also showcase the rich culture, flora and fauna by designing an amphibious luxury beach resort which offers accommodation both on land and in water “There's nothing wrong with enjoying looking at the surface of the ocean itself, Except that when you finally see what goes on underwater, You realize that you've been missing the whole point of the ocean. Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus And staring at the outside of the tent.” -Dave Barry A comprehensive and logical design is aimed at by analyzing all the necessary parameters through literature and live case studies of similar kind. The thesis report showcases this detailed design methodology from site selection to final design proposals.
