If Amaya were ever left unoccupied, every element of its construction would naturally fade into the forest until not a trace was left. No hideous scar would remain upon the land; no decaying concrete protrusions would jut out from the treescape; no asphalt would be left to splinter and crack in the winter frost.<\/p>\n
When Amaya\u2019s villas and chalets were newly realised on the terraces, and our roofs gleamed in the sunlight, our founder Deepak Gupta and lead architect Bijoy Jain took to contemplating how Amaya might appear in the years and decades to come. A shrewd observation by Jain neatly encapsulated their conclusions: \u201cImagine when we are long dead and looking down at what we have built from above. These copper roofs will acquire the patina of age and look just like the land around it and it will all be green.\u201d<\/p>\n
We envisioned Amaya first and foremost as a sanctuary in harmony with the environment, with sustainability<\/strong> as our watchword. We wanted to preserve and restore the sublime beauty of the Himalayan foothills, and create a space for people to escape the city and reconnect to nature, while also paying tribute to the stewards of these hills\u00a0 whose construction methods and practices date back to time immemorial.<\/p>\n
