PROJECT OVERVIEW
At Omak The Khaas, the design intent was to craft a sanctuary where architecture supports rather than dominates the landscape. River stone, clay, and mud plaster, and other tactile finishes echo vernacular traditions while ensuring durability. The layout creates smaller clusters, each tied to greenery and water, giving guests space to pause and reflect. Landscaping is designed to feel natural yet curated, with winding trails and moments of surprise. The result is an eco-resort where rural warmth and ecological sensitivity come together in a deeply Indian expression of hospitality.
