The design features a GRC motif inspired by phulkari patterns, energy-efficient DGU glazing, crystal yellow polished granite, and Alucobond equivalent aluminum composite panels. The goal was to combine functional and aesthetic aspirations using innovation and technology.
- Taj Rishikesh Resort & Spa, Singthali, Rishikesh: Located in Byasi, Uttarakhand, this resort is situated on a steeply contoured site with a 100-meter elevation drop, reflecting terraced agricultural farming. The design integrates with the site's unique topography to enhance the guest experience.

The plan includes detailed site analysis, land use distribution, plot sizes, open space and landscape strategy, and streetscape design, forming the foundation for a 500-acre development.
