2. INTRODUCTION:
A resort (North American English) is a self-contained commercial
establishment that tries to provide most of a vacationer's wants, such as food,
drink, lodging, sports, entertainment, and shopping, on the premises. The
term resort may be used for a hotel property that provides an array of amenities,
typically including entertainment and recreational activities. A hotel is frequently a
central feature of a resort, such as the Grand Hotel at Mackinac Island, Michigan.
Resort is a place where accommodation, reorientation is involved and most important
in a place for enjoyment which drives the mind of a visitor with its diversified activities.
The resort has a physical as well as physiological impact on the minds of the people.
Traffic development and industrialization had led to the urbanization which has stolen
the mental peace of the human created resort to quench his theist for the peace.
Nesting admits lush given environs, embraced by hillocks (or) a forest reserve (or) any
nature reserve, resort emerges as an enchanting retaught for everyone. resort is one
of the few places that offer a break from the strain of hectic life style a completely
different world engulf the visitor by taking a walk along the lonely pathways (or)
playing on the lawns and feeling the concept of given under the feet (or) taking boat
ride (or) plunging into the swimming pool (or) pending a quite evening and recharging
for the week ahead. Resort an of greater help to urbanized world providing natural
surroundings and change of environment. It is a place for spending complete holding
on a serene and scenic atmosphere away from the maddening crowd of the city and
enjoys the beauty of nature in pleasant atmosphere and landscape and is in seeking
alter the physical landscape as well. White option fills the air.

3. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

In an addition to the homely comfort, people prefer to enjoy the weekends with and in nature
has physical as well as PS logical impact on minds of the people. Traffic development and
industrialization had led to urbanization which had stolen the mental peace of the human. In
this endeavor of man to escape from the urban chaos has created recreational space to
quench his theist for mental peace, relaxation and change of environment.
AIM:
The aim is to familiarize with designs on sloping sites.

To study a different type of building structures on a hill.

To show the nature and extent of spread and relationship of the built with the sensitive setting.

The Aim is comprised of possibilities of designs on varying grades and utilizing the environmentally
susceptible setting to its optimum potential.

4. JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT

In present context, tourism in holds a great potential to establish itself as a significant means
of economy. This sector has a great potentiality to generate foreign revenue, which can bring
about immediate socio-economic benefit from small investments. A well-synchronized and
planned resort, which caters the modern amenities as per the requirement of the visitors, is
a present need. We can find many resorts here and only few of which are fulfilling these
needs. In addition, most of the resorts are oriented to limited service focusing only foreigners
and paying very little attention to urban haves. The multifunctional resorts are still absent in
and this proposed resort will be one of the iconic resorts with all resort facilities which will
ultimately promote resort tourism. The fact that, is still deficient of required hotel rooms
comparing to tourist’s inflow, it is said that, the present number of hotels can only hold up to
half a million visitors in a year. The tourist estimated to visit in tourism year 2011 is far more
that the holding capacity of available accommodation. Thus, if we are really upon the
promotion of tourism, we may receive more than 1 million visitors a year, if not this year then
probably the next, so there is still need of huge numbers of hotels, resorts, lodges, home stays
etc. Viewing the present scenario of the world, the issue of eco-sensitive and sustainable
architecture must be raised by the architects and we as a architect can alter the landscape
and built form for which we need to understand and be responsible for its far-reaching
consequences. The future is hard to predict but some things are certain. There will be rise in
urban population in developing economies and an increase in levels of income. This project
will pay its attention towards the global energy crisis and climate change though it is a worth
less effort to give impact in global scale, but it will certainly create an example and impact
locally as there is saying, think locally, impact globally. This proposed resort could be the
masterpiece of all resort that are functioning today and will approach to give it global
identification. The most important part is socio-economic impact. The society has changed a
lot from traditional to modern and still in the stage of metamorphosis, from modern to
postmodern and the economic influence of tourism in is noteworthy as is has established
itself as a prominent foreign exchange earner. Before 1960’s Pokhara was accessible only by
foot, but now the economy has boosted and people around the country are being pulled there
Thus, tourism plays an important to upgrade local as well as national economy so resort
proposed is commercially acceptable.

5. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

The main objective of this proposal is to design the hotel resort for the partial fulfillment of
Bachelor Degree of Architecture. Specifically, the objectives are to
Provide a recreational environment for the resort through varieties of facilities and functions

The establishment of tourist resort will create the economic opportunities to site
neighborhood. Also, the local and national economy will boost due to establishment
of multifunctional recreational tourist resort. -

Create an interactive ground for locals and visitors so that there may be interchange of ideas
and cultural demonstration

Make analytical study of the functional requirements of resort and implement efficient design
to carry out the functions smoothly. -

Study about low cost sustainable building materials-

Study about spatial organization and areal need of resort programs.

6. STUDY AREA (SITE)

The scopes of the projects are, The resort with recreational facilities posses’ wide range of scope. If
we analyze the present trend of internal resort tourism and need of leisure place, then it is acceptable
to have multifunctional resort, which not only focus on overnight stay but also concern in day services
too. For internal visitors, there is no trend of going hotels in weekend, due to their location on core
urban area. They intend to go some distance far from city so that they can enjoy the environment and
freshness there. Hence, hotel resort can provide best solution to internal tourists.

For external tourism, it will function as a luxurious hotel resort which provides all the facilities
within its boundary so as to make their stay pleasing and exotic. It will help to promote resort
tourism in Nepal and encourage foreigner to come here once just to stay in this very resort.
Ultimately, it will enhance tourism sector of country. Resort can also be a place for convection
and conference, and that depends on the quality of space they provide so that the convection,
conference or seminar becomes more interesting and fascinating. The proposed resort will
attempt to provide seminar space to meet international standard. The resort will be a place
to gain knowledge regarding the green design, as it will applying degraded energy system.
The limitations of the projects are, it will not focus more on social survey, research as this is
an academic project, and this does not fall under the primary constraint.

The project is concerned in built form so; there will be limited research and study on feasibility
of project and detailed site suitability will not be analyzed. The project will not focus on
structural analysis of built structures of resorts, although structural consultation will be made
and it will not be sufficient. The project will not cover all the details related to green design
incorporated, though research will be made and required level of detailing will be done to
meet the architectural requirement. Detailed environment assessment will not be done due
to limitation of knowledge in this field and it is not our primary focus, as the project is virtual.
However, some impact will be analyzed

functioning and organization of spaces through case studies. All the findings gathered in this
phase will be applied in our design phase.

PROPOSED CASE STUDIES

It is essential to know about functioning and spatial management of the resort before
commencing the design works, hence several cases on related topics will be studied.
There are numerous resorts in Nepal. But none of them are likely to meet all the
requirement of the proposed here. Thus, resort will be studied and the related program
will be separately. the following case studied will be performed
