COTTAGES: INTRODUCTION The word ―cottage‖ comes from England, where this small style of home was very common. Many of the first cottages had a ground floor with the bedrooms quaintly fitting within the roof space of the home. During the Middle Ages, this style of home was used to house farmers and their families. The homes at this time were relatively small and sometimes referred to as ―huts.‖ The term cottage denoted the dwelling of a ―cotter‖ or ―peasant.‖ The cottage was later to be described as a home with 4 rooms, two upstairs and two downstairs. This idea has changed dramatically dramatically ov over er the years, and cottages today are much larger, large r, though they still boast many of the old-fashioned design elements that made the original so appealing. A cottage style home is often simply considered a holiday home in certain parts of the world, including the United States and Scandinavia. In the United States, cottages are often thought to be summer residences that are typically located near a body of water or resort. Many people escape to their cottages on the weekends or throughout the summer months.

Today oday,, people use cottage house plans to build homes that are modest in size and often have a cozy and inviting vibe. The or original iginal cottages were ty typically pically located in a rural or semirural setting and always seem to possess the perfect balance of style, comfort, and function. Cottages can also be found quaintly adorning the banks of rivers, the edges of lakes, and other  bodies of water. water. They have been in existence for centuries and, although cottage cottagess have changed a lot over the years, they still have a lot of things in common with the cottage homes of today.

Thus, cot cottage tagess were small smaller er peasa peasant nt units (larger (larg er peasant units being called messuages). In that early period, a documentary reference to a cottage would most often mean, not a small stand-alone dwelling as today, but a complete farmhouse and yard. Thus, in the Middle Ages, the w word ord cottage denoted not just a dwelling, but included aatt least a dwelling (domus) and a barn (grangia), as well as, usually, a fenced yard or piece of land enclosed by a gate (portum).

Modern renovations of such dwellings often seek to re-expose timber purlins, rafters, posts etc. which have been covered, in an attempt to establish perceived historical authenticity. Older cottages are typically modest, often semi-detached or terraced, with only four basic rooms ("two up, two down"), although subsequent modifications can create more spacious accommodation. A labourer's or fisherman's one-roomed house, often attached to a large largerr  property,, is a particular type of cottage and is called a penty  property penty..

LOCATION Sites with water and electricity available are to be preferre preferred. d. Sewage has to be disposed off quickly and easily. For larger larger sites disposal systems with septic tanks or with complete rotary distributor systems are needed. The building layout types may take the th e form of pavilions , blocks of building containing many  bedrooms, suites of bedrooms bedrooms , huts , separate or in small groups. A large area of site adjacent to the main building should be kept open and available as a recreation space. If a pavilion type layout is adopted, the distance should be kept open and available as a recreation space. An adequate amount of landscaping between blocks not only adds to the appearance , but also increases privacy especially when the balconies or covered porches attached to the t he adjoining  blocks from one another. another.

PARKING Covered parking may be desirable for about 10 to 25% of o f the motor car accommodation. The car parks should not be planned in opposition o pposition where their use is disturbing to any sleeping accommodation and should occupy a position where the entrances and exits are capable of control.

DRIVES AND TURNING CIRCLES Gateways sh Gateways should ould never be less than 2.36m. The minimum turning radius for the average car is 6.09m 7.62m is more satisfactory allowance and reduces the risk of damage of grass and curbs and to the wings of the car by contact with boundary walls. The construction of drives should be sufficiently strong to permit moderately heavy traffic up to about 2 ton loads to pass over it without damage to the surface.

RECREATION INTRODUCTION: Types of open spaces may be divided roughly into 2 main categories , namely: public or communal use, and private, for the use of owners only only.. The public open spaces may include parks, gardens, recrea recreation tion spaces, and children‘s play areas, open-air baths , all of which may be grouped together or provided separately separately.. Any sufficiently large large op open en space may be developed for one of these purposes and advantage should be taken of sites not suitable for building bu ilding development, such as woodlands, low-lying ground at the sides of streams, etc. The children‘s play areas can with great advantage be placed near dwellings or in back placed land in the centres of groups of houses, thus avoiding the necessity of journeys and road crossings to reach the large public parks. Care should be taken to grade and drain public p ublic spaces properly , so as to ensure reasonable dryness and rapid drying after rain. Grass makes the best surface for play areas when properly drained. Drinking fountains should be provided in all public open spaces. Proper facilities are necessary for watering the grounds.

CHILDREN’S PLA PLAY Y AREA: All apparatus should be placed apart from general recreation and game space, preferably in the shade. Dangerous apparatus apparatus should be avoided or used only supervision. The apparatus must not only be beneficial to the children , but attractive. Swings and any other quickly moving apparatus are best placed at the sides or in the corners of the game space , to avoid children running into them when playing ball or other games.

SWINGS: Chair type swings are frequently provided for small children, with this type there is less risk of small children falling backwards. To avoid the chair swings by older children , they should be small dimensions (12 inches wide only). Swings for older children usually arranged in sets of from 3 to eight , with uprights placed  between every 2 or 3 wings. A space of at least 4 feet is needed between each swing and a general height of 10 or 12 feet to the cross bar. Chains should be used to support the seats, which have rubber buffers on the edges to prevent serious injury to the children.

24  

SEE-SAW: This apparatus is generally used for smaller children . The longer and safer it is , the safer it becomes. It is usual to provide a plank 12 to 14 ft long , 10 in wide, and 2 in thick, with all ends and edges carefully rounded. The standard on which the plank swings and is fixed fix ed is generally 24 in high. On the underside of the ends of the plank should be fixed wooden , rubber –   – covered covered bumpers 8 in high.

RINGS: This apparatus is similar to the swing , but provides facilities for arm exercises. Rings should be at various heights , but bu t 5 to 6 ft is a good average

OTHER APPARATUS: Climbing ladders and ropes. Entertainment apparatus , such as merry-go-rounds merry-go-rounds , slides , miniature motor racing tracks , etc. Slightly raised platforms of wood are sometimes provided for the smaller children to use for floor games, covered with a permanent roof on posts, or with adjustable canvas sun blinds.

The Activotel began its operations in A April pril 2012 and is a brain child of V Vaibhav aibhav Kala who also owns and runs Aquaterra Adventures.

INTRODUCTION: Over the years, the stretch of the Ganga river (India‘s holiest river, which makes the Great IndoIndoGangetic plain) above the pilgrim town of Rishikesh had infrastructure that was limited and catered mainly to the pilgrim pilgrim traff traffic ic headed up to the holy shrines of K Kedarnath edarnath and Badrinath. Very little existed for the leisure and active traveler, or the vacationer, considering this is the quickest one can get to the Himalaya. Himalaya. Atali Ganga set amidst reserve reserved d Forest and over 300 trees, has changed all that. Distinguished by its use of stone, reed and steel wire, the project abandons a commonplace aesthetic and other such iconographic elements to distinguish itself in favor of a building that draws its aesthetic from the means, methods and modes of its construction. The resort consists of a stone building that houses a storage facility on the lower level and a dormitory on the upper level, a veranda with a tensile roof that frames the surrounding mountains, a cafe and cottages for guests. The first building, made of stone, encased in galvanized gabion boxes and tied to each other with steel wire was constructed predominantly out of material that was either found on site or excavated from it.

The cottages sit comfortably and responsibly on the hill, they have an ageless quality about them. People come to see the architecture! The cottages that dot the upper levels are characterized by their spartan luxuriousness. Entered through a private verandah, a central stone wall demarcates the tripartite bathroom from the bedroom. Extensively glazed, they open themselves up to the surrounding landscape.

X2 River River Kwai is loca located ted on the most bea beautiful utiful str stretch etch of the Kwa Kwaii Noi River River.. Wi With th a specta spectacula cularr  backdrop of the mountain range and clear, clear, blue sky, the resort boasts a breathtaking breathtaking river view view.. Its grounds are surrounded rice paddies,X2 sugar cane plantations, local temples, small villages, the signature scenery of by Kanchanaburi. River Kwai‘s resort facilities offer aand restaurant &  bistro with an outdoor deck, a library, library, and an infinity swimming pool.

33  

The resort is the brainchild collaboration between its owner and the architect. The design theme took inspiration from Kanchanaburi‘s unique history combined with the essence of its location near the historic railway railway,, bridge, and river. The result is an avant-garde designed resort that embraces the local character. character. In creating the sense of place, the architecture of X2 River Kwai adopted the ―light structure‖ concept to construct the project. Light structure is commonly seen throughout the local neighbourhood setting such as on houses, rafts, and  bridges, which are mainly mainly built with wood and bamboo.

Steel trusses of factories, factories, mining equipment, and the distinct monument, The Bridge over River Kwai, Kwai, can also be considered as light structures, which encompass the ―slim but strong‖  philosophy.. With the triang  philosophy triangulated ulated members, this kind of structural system gives us freedom freedom to  build things that almost ―fly in the air‖. This quality of flying flying or floating is used to create the  place and to give X2 River Kwai a special experience. LuXe Cabin guests can enjoy the  panoramic view of the River Kwai Kwai from their ―flying‖ decks that stretch into the vast nature n ature while Pool Xide Cabin guests can rest on private ―raft‖ terraces and soak their feet in the infinity pools.

The resort is designed with a sustainable and eco-friendly attitude.

REDUCE: Employing basic materials such as concrete, OSB board, natural mountain stone, and steel, all supplies can be sourced locally. This approach, we believe, is an inventive way to create a sense of ―unpretentious luxury‖. The OSB and joint rubber wooden boards, materials that are planted particularly for commercial usage, are selected to be used extensively in this  project. Other sustainable materials materials include color-bonded corrugated steel and wood fiber  cement boards for outdoor decks.

Energy usage: is also greatly reduced by the extensive installation of high efficiency insulation materials along the walls, roofs and thermal-insulated pipes. All rooms are equipped with electrical key tag to cut off the electricity when the guest leaves the room. Another unique feature is the automatic air conditioner cut-off system, which is triggered when the glass door stays opened for more than 5 minutes. LED lights are installed extensively throughout the entire project to reduce electricity consumption

38  

In addition, throughout the construction process, the big rain trees have been deliberately conserved for both landscaping and energy-saving purposes. The trees are an essential part in absorbing Co2 and natural air-conditioning system, and they greatly aid in the cool down of the surrounding air temperature. Lying Lying in the tree shades, hotel ho tel guests can comfortably relax and enjoy the river breeze all day long.

REUSE: One can also spot that the resort reuses many of the abandoned industrial materials and turns them into chic industrial decorative. Some examples of our creative inventions include: abandoned steel pipes transformed into outdoor light fittings and indoor cloth racks, unused machinery and old electric motors converted into tables and industrial sculptures, and abandoned aluminum strips aaltered ltered into wall cladding

39  

RECYCLE: The riverside location of the property enables the resort to use river water for landscape irrigation. The resort also adopts waste management, sorting rubbish into differe different nt recycle categories

WEDDINGS AND EVENTS: The design concept of X2 River Kwai Kwai Resort was inspired by the notorious Thai-Burma Thai-Burma Railway made famous in the 1957 Hollywood produced movie: ―The Bridge on the River Kwai‖. Kwai ‖. Proved to be a very popular resort used for TV filming, high-fashion magazines or PR and media events, the idyllic natural settings facing the river bend and multiple details in the design  play an important part as to why it has become such a high in-demand venue. Offering Offe ring both exclusivity and privacy privacy,, it is the perfect romantic set-up for pre-wedding photoshoots, weddings or any special event couples wish to celebrate. Along with a team of highly experienced event professionals, we offer two X2 pre-wedding pre-wedding photo sho shootings otings packages as well as a X2 Designer Wedding package which can be tailor-made to your demands allowing a truly personalized event.
