Eco Resorts


An eco resort is a picturesque resort where nature is unsullied and inviolate and uses nature friendly resources for everything from construction to cleaning products. These resorts also re-use many items and try to maximise their ecological impact as much as possible. Eco resorts typically have a focus on learning new ways to live, a green way which is normal to the environment and appreciating of their natural surroundings. Eco resorts not only implement an environmentally-conscious approach to running their business, some also offer guests volunteer opportunities against the environment and local community as well as a variety of eco-acts, such as nature tours.
We, at Archtech Solutions are totally committed to environment conservation. And it shows in everything we do from maintaining the ecological balance, helping to conserve natural heritage and biodiversity, We at Archtech Solutions believe in making optimal use of environmental resources. In keeping with this philosophy, we have adopted this in the way the resorts have been designed, conceived and the materials that have gone into its construction and the countless little things we advocate to the clients to do each day while running it.
Eco Resorts designed by Archtech Solutions have been built in accordance with environment-sensitive technology, minimising the dependence on cement, and using mud and other locally available materials instead. Recycled wood is used for much of the woodwork. The designing of an eco-resort itself contributes to passive energy conservation.
"The environment matters" ~ That is the mantra of Archtech Solutions. The projects undertaken reflect a marriage of eco friendly designs with stunningly beautiful structures and landscapes that harness the sustainability factor.

Heritage Conservation

"Historic preservation" has been described by Wikepedia, as an endeavor that seeks to preserve, conserve and protect buildings, objects, landscapes or other artifacts of historical significance. Other names for the discipline or sub-disciplines include urban conservation, landscape preservation, built environment conservation, built heritage conservation, object conservation, and immovable object conservation. "Historic preservation" is also generally used to refer to what is known as "heritage conservation" or "heritage preservation". In most growing cities, heritage structures, are under serious threat. Building activity, expansion of cities to accommodate a growing population, pressures for increasing FSI and general apathy towards our heritage has led to neglect, damage and destruction of many structures possessing architectural, historical, social and artistic qualities. One area of our specialization is Heritage conservation and restoration.

Green Architecture and Landscaping





Green Architecture and Landscaping

Green architecture, or green design, is an approach to building that minimizes harmful effects on human health and the environment. The "green" architect or designer attempts to safeguard air, water, and earth by choosing eco-friendly building materials and construction practices. Also known as "sustainable development", it is framed by the larger discussion of sustainability and the pressing economic and political issues of our world. In the broad context, sustainable architecture seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by enhancing efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space. Most simply, the idea of sustainability or ecological design is to ensure that our actions and decisions today do not inhibit the opportunities of future generations. This term can be used to describe a ecologically conscious approach to the design of the built environment ~ or simply put an eco-friendly architecture or earth-friendly architecture that has now become a global responsibility.
Hyderabad-based firm Archtech Solutions has always been drawn to green architecture because of "serendipity, a new challenge, and just the excitement of working with hitherto not used materials as well as design demands". Where work is concerned, Abbas Razvi is led by his heart, and not his head. This designer of environment-friendly or 'green' buildings ensures there are adequate environment-friendly practices incorporated in his landscape and architectural projects.
