Dehradun, Uttarakhand
Taj Mussoorie Foothills is a serene architectural retreat nestled in the Shivalik ranges, where colonial elegance meets mountain vernacular. The design draws from the region’s British Raj-era heritage, featuring sloping slate roofs, gabled windows, and wide verandas that echo the charm of historic hill stations. Natural stone masonry, timber detailing, and warm-toned plaster walls root the structure in its Himalayan context, while tall windows and glass doors frame sweeping views of the Doon Valley and Mussoorie hills. The resort’s layout is sensitively integrated into the sloped terrain, with terraced gardens and panoramic decks that create a seamless dialogue between built form and nature.
Inside, the interiors reflect a refined mountain aesthetic—earthy, elegant, and deeply contextual. Handcrafted wooden furniture, colonial-inspired chandeliers, and brass accents evoke a timeless sophistication, while curated artwork and subtle mountain motifs celebrate the region’s cultural and ecological richness. Public spaces are designed as cozy mountain residences, complete with fireplaces, bay windows, and intimate seating nooks. The landscape design preserves native flora and enhances biodiversity, while eco-conscious features like rainwater harvesting and locally sourced materials. Altogether, the property embodies the “luxury of quietude,” offering a soulful, immersive escape rooted in the spirit of Uttarakhand.
