The space is arranged around a small lake and its centerpiece is a large, well-equipped, work and performance space.

Dining Area
Food for the Soul: Fueling Your Creativity

UsPaar has a fully equipped kitchen with a capacity to turn out simple and nutritious vegetarian and meat based food with the distinct flavors of coastal Maharashtrian cuisine.

Our drinking water is drawn from a well on the campus and undergoes double filtration. 

The dining area is open on three sides with a wonderful view of our lake and the setting sun in the late evenings. The design of the space encourages community eating and interaction. 

Accomodation

Two high roof dorm structures with mezzanine floors can accommodate 6 persons each. Each dorm has two spacious washrooms. The common space between dorms looks out over the lake, has seating and transforms into the common area for those post-work sessions.
