PRINCIPLES
• THIS SMALL PLOT FOR A BUSINESS HOTEL HAD A HEIGHT LIMITATION OF 24 METRES

• THE HOTEL IS PLANNED IN EIGHT LEVELS

• PUBLIC SPACES OCCUPY THE FIRST THREE LEVELS

• FOUR LEVELS OF ROOMS ABOVE

• A ROOFTOP LOUNGE BAR ON THE TOPMOST FLOOR

• SINCE THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE SURROUNDINGS TO LOOK OUT TO AT THE LOWER
LEVELS, THE ENTIRE VOLUME COMPRISING OF THE PUBLIC SPACES AND THE VERTICAL
CIRCULATION IS PUNCTUATED BY SMALL 45 CM DIAMETER CIRCULAR OPENINGS

• THESE OPENINGS ALLOW NATURAL LIGHT INTO THE PUBLIC SPACES AT DAYTIME AND
ARE MADE OF FRIT GLASS SO THAT THE EXTERIOR IS PURPOSELY NOT SEEN AND THE
PUBLIC SPACES HAVE AN IDENTITY OF THEIR OWN ONCE ONE ENTERS AND
EXPERIENCES THEM

• EACH OPENING IS LIT BY LEDS DURING THE EVENING HOURS THAT CHANGE COLOUR
AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES, MAKING THE BUILDING DYNAMIC AS IT GLOWS IN
DIFFERENT HUES LIKE A LARGE PUNCTUATED LANTERN

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

 ORIENTATION OF THE BUILDING SHOULD BE SUCH THAT SOUTH

NORTH SURFACES OF THE BUILDING SHOULD BE MORE AND EAST
WEST SURFACE SGOULD BE LESS.THIS WILL HELP IN MORE
VENTILATION AND DECREASE SOLAR HEAT GAIN.
 THE MAJOR WIND DIRCTION IS FROM SOUTH AND SOUTH WEST
SO MAXIMAM SPACES SHOULD BE EXPOSED TO THESE DIRECTION .
 THE PROPOER HIERARCHY OF THE SPACES SHOULD BE MAINTAINED.
 TYPES OF USERS-

RESIDENTIAL NON RESIDENTIAL

 PROPOER PRIVACY FOR BOTH THE KIND OF USERS SHOULD BE
MAINTAINED.
 BANQUE TS,BUISNESS CENTRE SHOULD HAVE A SEPARATE ENTRY.
 THE SUITES MUST FACE THE ECO PARK.
 THE PRESENCE OF METRO RAILWAY LINES AND ADJACENT
BUILDINGS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN THE DESIGN KEEPING THE
URBAN FABRIC OF THE AREA IN ACCOUNT.
 THERE SHUOLD BE SERVICE FLOOR FOR MAINTANANCE AND FROM
WHERE THE DUCTS ,FIRE DUCTS SHUOLD BE ACCESSED.
 PROPER DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTES AND SEWERS.
 EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO MAKE IT AN ENERGY EFFICIENT
GREEN BUILDING.

DESIGN PRINCIPLE
• The design has a compact approach so as to reduce footprint of the building
and enable it to achieve green building status.
• The slope of landscaping follows the natural slope of the site. This causes no
hindrance to the water flow.
• The building is curve towards the south so as to take advantage of the
southern winds.
• Reflective glazing to be used to reduce load on artificial air conditioning.
• Rain water harvesting is to be carried out due to the slope of the landscape
which will collect more water.
• Solar panels will cover the roof as well as service blocks.
• LED lighting to be used to reduce energy consumption.
• Main kitchen is connected to most of the restaurants and pubs thereby
reducing the need for satellite kitchens.
• Top floor to be kept for presidential suites to cater to their special
requirements.
• Infinity pool in the upper floor will provide a breathtaking view for the guests.
