Nandur Madhmeshwar Bird Sanctuary

This process leads to the buildup of shallow water ponds and small islands in the Nandur Madhmeshwar bird sanctuary.

This place has been called as Bharatpur of Maharashtra, because of these diversities.

Boat Club, Gangapur Road

The Government of Maharashtra’s Tourism department wanted an iconic pavilion which would resemble the boating activity to be carried out at the proposed Boat Club at Gangapur Dam, Nashik, a pilgrimage city & a tourist destination. Due to the want for an iconic structure, it was important to draw a connection between the structure’s physical form and the boating activity in order to be able to relate the form to the function of the pavilion. Thus, keeping in mind the physical features of a boat, the building was designed on the lines of the basic three components of a ship i.e. the Anchor, the Sails and its overall Form. Though the form of the pavilion, on a whole, resembles that of a boat, the three steel columns at the water end of the structure represent the anchor of a boat. The ascending and overlapping perforated metal louvers depict the sails inflated by the wind as seen in olden day’s ships. Also there are series of two steel columns rows, out of which one column supports the inclined roof,which creates the floating effect with the help of pin joints in between column &inclined trusses of roof. As visitors walk around in the pavilion building, the large expanse of perforated metal louvers provide picturesque views of the dam water, integrating the landscape with the boating experience.
