Sprawling over 32 acres at the fringe of the Badlands of India, Lakshman Sagar was built in the late 19th century as a hunting lodge by the then Thakur of Raipur, Lakshman Singh Ji to host other noble families and British emissaries. As a continuation of the hospitality and traditions of the house of Raipur, Kunwar Manavjeet Singh Raipur has envisioned a Getaway much like his forefather Thakur Lakshman Singh Ji, though with a conservationist view of his heritage and surroundings, all manifested through the endless details in the architecture & design, the cuisine, and the well thought of activities & non-activities tailored personally for his guests in a captivating natural topography ideal for mindless relaxation. Architects Vasant and Revathy Kamath conceptualised twelve Shikar Ghars of about 900 sq.ft. each as villas for guests. Rather than attempting to rebuild a misunderstood grandeur of bygone days, an attempt has been made to integrate the property into the existing environs using indigenous material and techniques of construction including mud and stone. The style and the interiors were completed by designers; Sarthak Sengupta and Sahil Bagga who introduced the Zero Kilometer Design concept whereby all furniture and products were inspired through an understanding of local products used and produced locally. |
