Introduction
•TAJ Hotels, Resorts and Palaces engaged WOW
Architects Warner Wong Design to design the
flagship of their new brand Vivanta. Located
at the entrance of the International Tech Park
at Whitefield, Bangalore ITPB), India, the
hotel is a gateway statement between the IT
Park and the developing city around it. The
finspired the team to question and push the
boundaries of hotel design, not just to address
the needs of the ciscerning business traveller
coming to Whitefield, but also to redefine and
intensify the hotel as a contemporary socio-
cultural hub for both the IT Park and IT-based
population in Whitefield

•The building embraces Bangalore's culture and climate,
adopting a site-specific land- scape strategy that plays
on relationships between interior and exterior spaces.
Public and private spaces interweave in an endless
promenade of spatial experiences with culturally
distinctive cinematic qualities that allude to the
circling and twisting of traditional Indian dance
forms. The resulting seamless experience dissolves
not only the boundaries between the inside and
outside of the hotel but also the stigma of a five star
hotel's inherent social and cultural status, encouraging
casual interac tions and exchanges between hotel
guests and locals within its public promenade

•From inception, both the team and client were
wary of the local construction indus try's
workmanship limitations. Adaptively,
workmanship defects were embraced as part of
the aesthetic through finishes intentionally
celebrating the raw and rustic lock. This
included a strong bush-hammer finish, used in
parts to enhance or hide the texture of the
exposed concrete. In areas where concrete was
not appropriate, rough bagged render, stone or
simple timber paneling was used. Flux lines
embedded in the concrete interior and exterior
surfaces symbolise the brand, and avoid and
con- ceal conventional expansion joints.

 FACADE
•The hotel rooms are housed in a
pixelated greenscape. This façade
design grew out of a desire for
remembrance of the original site prior to
derop- ment. A digitized image of the
site's lush landscape was transposed
onto the façade such that from a
distance, the building merges
contextually with the greens of the earth
and the blues of the sky.
