Editor’s note : High-pitched roof and the complimentary color palette to Gir, make Jagira – The Jungle Resort striking to its visitors. The roof angle is the most unique element that visitors see at first glance that seems to be helpful in keeping the rooms cooler from the heat outside. Each room structure contrasts high pitched roof with its rectangular built space. Besides the geometric structures, the choice of materials and earthy colors smartly appeals to the Gir-surroudings of wild and raw. ~ Aditi Shah (editor)

Spaces such as decks, patios, verandas and balconies connected the inside spaces with external courtyards and further with surrounding nature.
One of the major concerns while conceiving this project was to design such that it does minimum disturbance to existing terrain. The property is lush green and blessed with plenty of large trees and variety of plants.
