About Lagonaki Mountain Eco Resort Plan Director de Estación Turística

Lagonaki Mountain Eco Resort é un plan director para unha estación de montaña na República de Adiguesia, Rusia. O plan sitúa hoteis, unha estación de teleférico e infraestrutura pública nunha área compacta de elevacións cambiantes e outeiros rochosos rodeados de árbores relictas. Mapeáronse e conserváronse elementos naturais valiosos, e planificáronse eixes visuais e plataformas de observación. As rutas turísticas evitan o acceso non autorizado a áreas naturais protexidas. As formas dos edificios seguen as casas tradicionais adigues, cunha base de pedra, un tellado de madeira e unha galería arredor da casa.

Production Technology
Various programs were used while integrating the project into the difficult terrain based on geology and forest inventory data. It was important to identify and preserve valuable natural objects: relict trees, ravines, rocky hills. Based on the landscape and visual analysis, view axes were planned, locations of observation platforms were determined.
Design Challenge
The main factor influencing the design solution was the unique natural context. The team faced a challenge to create the resort identity based on the culture of the Adygs - the indigenous people of the North Caucasus.
Research
As part of the development of the master plan, a socio-economic justification for the location of the resort was prepared and measures were developed aimed at preserving the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site and adjacent specially protected areas.
Inspiration
The Lagonaki Mountain Eco Resort Concept was inspired by the mix of gorgeous nature and rich culture of the region, which is the area of the Adyghes. The general strategy for the massing and layout solutions of hotel buildings respects the typical Adyghe housing, that is a stone bottom (core house), a wooden top (roof) and a canopy gallery around the house. For the manifestation of the identity of the place and culture of the region, it is possible to use typical ornaments in the painting of roof overhangs, as well as in interiors.
Project Duration
The project started in November 2021 and will be finished in Q4 2024. The project is located at Dakhovskoye village, Maikop district, Republic of Adygea, Russia
Operation Flow
The resort development involves strict regulation of adjacent natural areas, ensures their monitoring and protection. The project defines development zones considering the impact on the natural context. The project provides for the creation of tourist routes that exclude unauthorized access to protected natural areas. The buildings are equipped with resource-saving equipment (thermostats, LED lighting, smart lighting control systems, rainwater collectors and water recycling systems etc). It is based on the so-called “3R = Reduce + Reuse + Recycle” approach.
