In the Western Ghats of Coorg

The Dome Retreats
Madikeri

Sustainable dome living above the mist of Kodagu — designed lightly into a Western Ghats biodiversity landscape.

The project

A retreat shaped by the forest it sits in

Madikeri extends The Dome Retreats philosophy into Coorg's Western Ghats: low-footprint dome architecture, designed only after a full ecological baseline of the land (600+ species documented). Below are the early visualisations, the brochure, the location, and the partnership behind it.

Location

Galibeedu, Madikeri · Kodagu

In good company. TDRM sits in the Galibeedu / 1st Monnangeri corridor above Madikeri — the same premium pocket as Taj Madikeri and Club Mahindra, ringed by heritage coffee estates and Western Ghats forest. About 5–6 hours from Bengaluru and ~2 hours from Mysuru.
