The Palms Resort Club at The Parkway

Surat, Gujarat, India

Sitting strategically at the edge of the large lake in the overall masterplan of the Parkway Township, the Palms is an exotic and ethereal club, featuring a 30-room boutique hotel, a restaurant and cafe, a banquet hall for 500 people, various indoor recreational activities and much more. The club is designed linearly, as a narrow strip, overlooking the lake. All the functions open out towards this waterbody and are connected through a single linear corridor that acts as the spine of the building. Two tongues of linear mass become the banquet hall and the swimming pool as they project out from this spine. The green quadrant next to the banquet wing becomes an extension of a party lawn and the other quadrant becomes a skating rink in extension to the swimming pool. The infinity pool with its deck and a lounge with mini pads are extensions into the water, giving the whole space exuberance and class.

Lining the Lake-Edge for Rooms with a View

The linear form of this building clings to the entire lake-edge on one side, acting as a spine from which various built and green arms housing different activities shoot off. The resort is entered through a paved court with a central water-feature facing the interiors of the layout, leading to a reception lobby. From here one can move to either side to enjoy a plethora of facilities like a café, restaurant, banquet hall with lawn for outdoor socials, cards and board-games rooms, pool table, tennis court, squash court, swimming pool, toddlers’ play pit, gym with changing rooms and toilets. Alternating built and open spaces line up along the interior facing side, while each guest room and facility on the other face get a panoramic view of the lake waters
