Architectural Design | Holiday Resorts A resort can be defined as something that is more of a recreational space that accommodates people for a stipulated period. It is a service that plays an important role in generating revenue for the tourism sector of any country. Hence, it is necessary to have good resorts across the country. Everybody who is on a holiday wants to live in a good resort with the best of facilities. A good resort is one, which satiates all the needs of its guests, and the first step to obtaining this goal is to have good designing and planning tools in place. Hence, in order to have a successful resort it is necessary to have the best architecture consultant at one's disposal. Additionally, no resort is the same as it comes with its own set of difficulties depending on the location i.e. mountains, beaches, valleys, and lakes. The project architect must also consider the fact that the guests visiting the resort can be from any part of the world and must thus design the place accordingly. Beyond these considerations, Resort planning includes the actual architectural projection and architectural drafting of a resort. Architectural drafts are fundamentally sketching that are made by an architect that enable him or her to cultivate design ideas for a project. Resort architecture design and resort architecture planning all in all encompasses coming up with the most appropriate location for the resort, deciding on suitable building resources, the external and internal designs of the projected resort, and determining the appropriate accommodations and services that are to be offered by the resort. The first step in the planning phase after all considerations about the structure are made is to consider the external environment in the proposed location. It needs to be checked whether it is safe for human habitation or not. For example: If a resort is in an earthquake zone then what strategies can be applied to safeguard the interests of the guests Secondly based on the location what material needs to be chosen for the resort? For example: If the resort is next to the sea then furniture and fittings corrode. Hence, which article should be used also needs to be considered. Sometimes the most famous architects in India also miss out on this step. When it comes to the material there are two things that must be determined: exterior and interior design. The exterior designs involve: the determination of the building supplies which may differ from wood to stone depending on the suitability of the site of the resort as mentioned above. It further involves the style in which the roof is put up which again depends on the ability to withstand heavy downpour or strong winds. Also, another thing that needs to be considered in exterior designing is the issue of verandas and where

they are to be situated outside the building. A front porch may also be considered in this case. Interior designs, on the other hand include the fixtures and fittings that have been set within the building. It is very important for an architect to ensure that furniture and other fittings in the building can easily be cleaned and replaced. The shades in their color should be chosen in a way that they go with the rest of the resort. Interior designs must also include toilets, bathrooms, and other important facilities in the resort. Internal design also includes the fact as to where they are to be located, their accessibility, their size etc. for achieving an overall complimentary design work. Additionally, a resort designing, and planning architect must generate some other details as well, like the cooling plan of the resort along with the details on ventilation. To conclude, the design of any given resort requires very thorough planning and designing.
