The project is based on very specific kind of community, a sort of a micro-society with its own rules. It is a program, somewhere in between a hotel and a hospital, that seeks for a social/private combination, answering to the needs of a social life, and at the same time of solitude. Independent unities aggregate into a unique body. To achieve this objective G.V. Meditech, Varanasi, wishes to set up a Retreat for Assisted Living along with Skill Development Centre in Village : Illia, Chakiya, District : Chandauli on a site of 10 Acres located in unpolluted, quite and clean environment. . It is situated 62 km. from Varanasi City and 30 km. from Mughalsarai Station on the foothills of the Vindhyan ranges with seasonal rivers emanating from them. The site has rich paddy fields , which extend into the gradually rising topography upto the mountain . The rooms are oriented towards the mountains provide a scenic view with each apartment and cottages having a private balcony. All the windows are aligned to these to achieve a maximum shading. This project consists of a multidisciplinary healthcare center able to accommodate medical and paramedical activities besides other therapies like Naturopathy, Ayurvedic Treatments, Physiothreapy, Aroma Therapy etc.. The ground floor is kept in its building comprises of all facilities which open out into landscaped greens. Each Apartment gets natural light and natural ventilation.
