Travaasa design crafts engaging tropical play areas under palm groves, artistic shade sails, and colorful foliage encircling sand zones and climbing structures. Playful animal figures, swings, and secure surfaces merge with winding trails and natural pergolas to spark children's creativity. Bananas, heliconias, and manicured turf accent the majestic entry, harmonizing paved elements with vibrant, family-focused tropical energy.

Nested in the countryside of rural Ahmedabad; also known as Bawlu, the design approach incorporates outdoor activities of different age groups and users. The Travaasa landscape embodies a tropical playground ethos, enveloping play zones in lush palm canopies, sculptural shade structures, and vibrant understory planting that creates immersive, nature-rich environments for children. Circular sand play areas, colorful climbing frames, and whimsical animal sculptures integrate seamlessly with meandering paths, soft rubber surfacing, and organic pergolas, fostering imaginative exploration while ensuring safety and shaded comfort.

Layered planting with bananas, heliconias, and flowering shrubs frames active zones like swings and slides, transitioning fluidly to the grand entrance gateway where structured lawns and feature trees announce the resort-like community character. Textured pavings, integrated seating boulders, and strategic turf panels balance hardscape with greenery, delivering a cohesive, family-centric oasis that celebrates play, community, and tropical exuberance
