Site Planning
The Resort sites may front beaches, lagoons or lakes directly with waterfront
activities.
A resort location is one, which is sufficiently appealing such that people will
travel to it and stay at least one day and one night.
Resorts should offer proximity and easy access to significant, natural,
scenic, recreational and cultural amenities.
The resorts built with vernacular style are considered as attractive to the
tourists and in the case of Goa, is a profitable investment to the countrys tourism
industry.
Appropriate signage and symbol are important as parts of the design to
identify the resort, provide information and directions to the visitors to the various
facilities.
The graphic design must subtly suggest the status and character of the
resort order to create customer recognition, confidence and loyalty.
This study finds that there are four important factors in this research survey as
follows:
a). Location
b). Chalet reach ability
c). Entrance
d). Signage
According to Schwanke (1997), most resort hotels are based on the leisure
attractions of water both as recreational amenity and visual setting. Some resorts
are also located at attractive hilly areas or rural setting for the guest to offer living
experience at natural setting.
Based on this literature review, there are five critical factors for the exterior design
of resort building which are:
a). Building materials
b). Roof
c). Verandah
d). Exterior view
e). Landscape design
The architecture of Goa is a
combination of Indian,
Islamic and Portuguese
styles.
Windows
Large ornamental windows with stucco
mouldings open onto verandas.
These may appear purely decorative,
but have their origins in similar
mouldings in the windows of Portuguese
houses.
The design is therefore an import but
serves a similar purpose in Goa: to
help construct the identity of the
home.
Windows gradually became more
decorative, ornate, and expressive.
Interior Design
High-quality durable fitments and finishes are also important in order to
ensure easy maintenance services.
The choice should reflect to vernacular style with traditional craftsmanship.
Furniture and furnishings in hotel are subject to more intensive use, strain
and damage than domestic units.
Decoration and furnishing as proposed need to fit with traditional and resort
style, and are durable (resistant to damage and discoloring) and low maintenance
services (easy cleaning and replacement of the parts).
Room (chalet layout) accommodations in resort hotels are often carefully
positioned with an attractive setting.
The Goan house layout becomes an important reference to the chalet. It
has basically the front and back portions which are centered around (core house).
From the entrance, stairs lead up to a covered porch or verandah. The porch acts
as a good transition space between the public and the private domains
Well in backyard
USE OF COLOUR
Dramatic and startling colorinitially
achieved with vegetable and natural dyes
plays an important role in Goan architecture.
Color was decorative and used purely to
create a sensation
INTERIORS
Painting on walls
Walls up to dado height finished with glazed
tiles
Floral pattern below the cornice
CORNICES
Country tiles used as a corbel are a feature
peculiar to Goa.
The effect achieved is
aesthetically pleasing, giving
the roof projection a solid,
moulded appearance.
The study concludes that there are five critical factors which are important for
the survey. These factors are as follows:
a). Interior view
b). Interior finishes
c). Chalet layout
d). Chalet size
e). Accessibility
