"Guests approach the retreat through a shaded path lined with orchards and dense underbrush, gradually ascending a series of stepped stone plinths before arriving at a central courtyard. Framing panoramic views of the Chhatrasagar Lake and surrounding woodlands, this courtyard forms the heart of the property, both spatially and experientially, seamlessly connecting its public and private realms.

Situated the heart of the property, the courtyard unifies the project’s public and private spaces. To the north of the central court is the reception, bar and restaurant, abutted by an all-season infinity pool to the west; screened by a small garden is the owners’ private residence along its northern edge. The single-storey structure is placed strategically with adjoining back-of-house functions to receive a continuous supply of fresh, farm-to-table produce. Bordering the southern periphery of the court is the camp consisting of stilted tented pods that build on the legacy of the erstwhile tents."

In its feature on RAAS Chhatrasagar, Sleeper Magazine highlights the project's eco-conscious design and the seamless integration with its natural surroundings.
