Collaboration is the key to Bijoy’s projects, as well as the ethos of his studio. For Amaya, he put together a team that was a creative mix of local and international artisans and architects. The result was the creation of contemporary, eco sensitive structures made of rich, local materials that have a relationship with the environment. Jean Marc Moreno built copper roofs, using the same hand tools and techniques that he used to craft roofs, while working on structures and restoration projects in France. The walls were constructed with brick and local stone but finished in a lime plaster, an ancient technique kept alive by the Swiss artisan, Ruedi Kerbs. He collaborated with artisans from Malda, West Bengal to create walls that develop their own unique patina when the local soil is mixed in lime. The interiors use marble, stone and wood, that create living spaces that are gentle and interact seamlessly with the peaceful rolling hills around the site.

Amaya’s Food Concept has evolved from the idea of sustainability in consumption. Years ago we started rejuvenating the terraced hills which were once used for farming and thought that most food should not have to travel long distances, it should be local. We now grow endless varieties of organic fresh vegetables around our homes. We planted a thousand fruit trees and now the site is full of apple, pear, plum, mulberry, fig and citrus fruit. Our chefs bring together a mountain food sensibility and elements of international cuisine using this seasonal produce to make dining at Amaya a unique culinary experience.
Amaya is a 120 minute car drive from Chandigarh and is located at a height of 4800 feet near village Darwa in Himachal Pradesh. Nestled in 25 acres of pine forests and surrounded by breathtaking views of the Himalayas, Amaya is easily accessible from all major cities in the country with direct flights into Chandigarh.
