Recently I visited a place in Konkan region in India. Kolad , on Mumbai-Goa highway. It a lake side resort , it has a vernacular look with modern amenities. Here are some snaps.. Sit-out facing lake side.. Exterior face has stone cladding with lacquer finish. All the door windows are from local wood. Floating room , on RCC columns . The roofing is done in MS Fabrication and thatching is done for the elevational treatment . It give a structure its vernacular look..and it looks amazing at night with lighting. It has clear glass windows from all the four side, which give a feel of openness . Wooden bridge connects the cottage from the rest resort. Columns with stone cladding and thatched roof give site-out a comfortable and cozy feeling.
