Text description provided by the architects. Coffee being native and important to Coorg District, the coffee shop at Ibnii was conceived to be a sacred spot in the whole 120 acres of resort site. The creation of the site was as crucial as the design of the building itself. The location was carefully chosen near an existing pond in the valley between three hills. This pond was enlarged to five-folds its size to form a large lake. There existed a rectangular plinth from an old demolished concrete block manufacturing unit. The building uses this platform as its plinth and only a flying roof is added to emphasize the dramatic views from this location.
