Heritage-as-Income™
Preserving Chettinad's Architectural Legacy Through Sustainable Economic Models
The Crisis We Face
The Nagarathar Heritage Foundation addresses a critical challenge: high-value heritage superstructures in Chettinad are rapidly falling into disrepair due to the crippling economic burden of maintenance. Property owners, unable to afford upkeep costs, are forced to dismantle and sell irreplaceable architectural elements.
This crisis results in the permanent loss of our cultural heritage. Our Heritage-as-Income™ model serves as a direct intervention mechanism, creating sustainable economic models that secure the long-term legacy of these ancestral homes while preventing their destruction.
Tourism-Driven Decision Making
Strategic Usage Determination
The choice between conversion models is driven by localized market intelligence and tourism inflow patterns. This decision is critical as it immediately informs the restoration design and corresponding cost estimate.
High Tourism Inflow: Properties in areas with established or emerging tourist traffic are converted to Boutique Resorts/Hotels, requiring individual room layouts and service areas.
Limited Tourism Inflow: Properties in locations with limited visitor numbers are positioned as Destination Wedding/Event Halls, requiring large open spaces and expansive parking facilities.
