Seamless waves flowing on the landscape and flowing on the façade are the focal point of the design
proposal for this full service five-star property. Designed as an iconic building the proposal looks at
interweaving the concepts of waves in nature, fold lines as movement trajectories and perception
along with programmatic requirements.
The idea of creating a design with soft subtle touches and imbibing a sense of elegance has been
instilled in the proposal from the creation of the form itself. The different functions in the building with
different programmatic requirements are blending together thus resulting in this iconic building. The
building comprises of three waves which are very carefully translated into dramatic key spaces on the
lower floors and on the upper floors they translate into room grids with focus on standardized room
sizes.
These waves emerge effortlessly from the landscape creating a sense of harmonic relationship with
the ground. The profile of the building has been designed with keen emphasis given both to the
smooth transition from the horizontal landscape to the vertical building and to the standardization and
repetition of the façade components.
The façade is designed as an intricate part of the building. The entire façade system feels the
reverberation of the slightest of change in the external skin due to flux in the internal spaces. This
interdependent relationship between the skin and structure of the building makes the system a very
coherent one.
The entry to the building has been marked with a column less cantilever that creates a dramatic
entrance space. The guests are welcomed by the architecture of the canopy that follows the seamless
nature of the design proposal, emerging from the ground and morphing back into it.
On the lower three floors the proposal consists of reception lobby, shopping area, banquet hall,
meeting rooms, restaurants, lounge space and service areas. All these elements are tied with a
coherent design language of natural canyon like formations. The spaces are carved out using the
same design principles with which a wave carves out a canyon. This helps in connecting the various
public functions into one space visually which still have the capability of functioning independently.
A spill out space in the landscape has been provided for the banquet hall whereby adding to the
experience of a celebration. Thus helps in creating an animated landscape which has a direct use and
is actively used and enjoyed by the guests.
The restaurants are located amidst splendid view of the green with the fascinating façade wrapped
around the restaurants making it a unique experience. The All Day Dining is designed in a way to
create a more open feeling where the buffet would be the main attraction. As well as being visible
form the main Lobby. In contrast the specialty dining is located one floor higher with an introvert
character. This restaurant is about an intimate play between the senses, the space and the food, to
create this sense of very intricate relationship it has zones of small and bigger more private areas.
The roof and the last habitable floor house the spa, gym, saloon and the swimming pool. The
swimming pool is located on the terrace with breath-taking views of the city. Alongside a sky lounge
has also been provided here which will help guests relax, unwind and absorb the beauty of the city
and the building itself.
