ATRIUM CASINO HOTEL under CONSTRUCTION
The Atrium Hotel in Birtamode, eastern Nepal, builds on the local climate and vegetation to reduce its operational costs on electricity and water consumption. Responding to a warm climate, the hospitality program is organized around atriums and courtyards that establishes a series of airy indoor spaces connected with the outdoor areas dedicated for banquet, meetings, dining, and pool. The landscape design inspired by the tea plantations of Jhapa, extends inwards and then over the buildings, giving the hotel its identity besides creating shaded rooftop spill outs.

Zero, or Śūnya in Sanskrit has a philosophical and spiritual relationship with yoga, meditation and wellness. It is believed that “practicing yoga and meditation leads the mind attain a sense of nothingness. Understanding Śūnya leads to a spiritual liberation.” A spa is associated with healing of mind and body that is non-linear [or a circular] process...and thus the birth of 'Zero Spa' in Coorg, India. Various functions are organized in a circular format all under one roof that undulates in height to create diverse guest experiences. At the center is the pond of healing an environmental and symbolic feature.
