Timeless Resorts: Stapati (ORO EDITIONS)

Timeless Resorts is the first major monograph of the multi-disciplinary design practice Stapati, established by Ar.Tony Joseph. This book examines the evolutions of 11 captivating hospitality projects, where Stapati's philosophy of creating Timeless Architecture, by reinterpreting the vernacular for contemporary living is expounded. The projects spread across India and Seychelles demonstrate a sensitive understanding of the context and culture, with the site forming the major generator, to develop narratives and experiences which transcend time and place. The fact that these resorts are the most successul in their respective areas of operation establishes the relevance of contextual design.
