Rzekka Resort Stands As An Oasis Of Distinctive Excellence | Planet Design & Associates

Nestled between two canals and embraced by the verdant farms of Punjab, Rzekka Resort stands as an oasis of distinctive excellence. Aesthetics thoughtfully balanced with modern-day amenities and style – creating enlightening and inspiring spaces of alluring luxury – is Ludhiana’s most exotic culinary hotspot. Sensitive to the character of the context, the exquisite Rzekka resort blends a simple but refined style that reveals very subtle details. Unlike traditional resort settings, the concept was to design an open and expansive panorama of a beachside retreat that artfully crafts an oasis of fineness. Thus offering one big continuous environment – landscape, architecture, interiors, and art that all flow together.

Editor’s Note: “The gentle curves and elegant textures of this resort in Ludhiana seamlessly weave architectural excellence into an oasis of refinement. A smooth flow of planning, coupled with the harmonious blend of landscapes, evokes a sense of allure and comfort. The textured plasters, painted in shades of mud and rust, bestow the material with an earthy, natural essence.” ~Simran Khare

Design Philosophy

The arrival at the resort gives the guests a sense of allure and excitement. They experience and endeavour in Punjab’s most bespoke and tasteful enclave. The rooms and corridors play a crucial role in this serene journey.

The overall planning followed multiple layers of privacy, beautifully integrated with the greens. The circulation is thoughtfully planned across different levels and functions, with vistas throughout the resort focusing on framed views of landscapes.

Zoning

Stone walls with arched openings seamlessly connect the various zones. Thus providing a sense of fluid navigation through the resort.

The use of natural materials and textures throughout the spaces expresses a preference for noble and authentic materials that are also durable and cost-effective.

The design sinuously integrates a sense of quality, comfort, and continuity along each zone. Artisans on-site finished the private dining rooms in textured plaster. They are then painted with mud and rust colours to give the material an earthy and natural feel. Thus contributing to the overall sophisticated and yet relaxed ambience of the resort.

Panoramic Views

Buffering zones feature a mix of open, sunken, and stepped seating areas, decks, and open terraces offering the best views of the water body.

Sunken seating is carefully placed to block the direct visibility of private dining rooms, while the multipurpose stepped seating hides storage and miscellaneous functions in the back.

Beach Area

As we walk through these seats, two passages connect to the other zone, described as a poolside area with a private dining room, open seating, and a banquet hall, also used as a party area. The third zone, categorised as the beachside area, is mostly reserved for private parties, events, and weddings, with private dining rooms, open seating, and a bar area, all with a view of the beach.

An interesting sand effect was created around the beach, with mounds of 3.5 metres in height created as part of the landscape. Private dining rooms were placed on these mounds to create an elevated beach view.

The soil used to create these mounds was utilized from the excavations to form the beach. The subtle visual symphony and the understated luxury dominate this modern haven of calm and comfort.
