Occupying in a unique site in the cultural and ecological heart land of Kerala – Spice Tree, shares its boundary with Kannandevan and Cardamom hills, Kannandevan hills for tea and Cardamom hills for spices.While designing the resort a special care had taken to derive a special status from being a building where the architecture- especially from inside- almost entirely disappears.
The landscape dominates from all the angles, including bathrooms, and is literally taking over the building. The resort is merely a -belvedere-from which to observe the sweeping panorama of landscape and history laid before it. The Dolmens mentioned in Purananoor -300BC, the Bisonvalley, the distant mountain ranges of Western Ghats remained one of the centuries of drama and intrigue enacted in the landscape.
Each and every part of the resort is designed based on a theme – enriching relationship, in all the aspects. The resort is characterised by an extreme simplicity of detail and almost modernist honesty to structure and materials. The luxurious vegetation and beautifully manicured landscape of Bisonvalley, where the cultivation of paddy is prevalent, makes it easy to imagine a life of plenty and therefore a possibility for retreating from it into one of contemplation of that landscape. The sheer abundance of nature can easily make one believe that one is in a magical land far from hubbub of modern life. It should be this combination of meditation and landscape that draws many gusts from this time to centuries – to Spice Tree.
