Best Implemented Project of Public Building or Facility
About the project
The site is gently contoured rising up 9M towards the south into hills with the entry at the lowest level in the north which faces a large river and a dam with hills beyond. The client’s requirements included a large banquet hall of 15000 sqft in addition to 60 rooms and other facilities.Since the banquet hall would have large gatherings its access is planned directly from the road frontage at the lowest level of the site. The public facilities including the hotel lobby, restaurant, bar, spa & business centre occupy a higher level 6M above the banquet hall entered directly from an ascending approach road.At each floor the rooms form rectilinear cuboids that are angled differently creating balconies that frame the picturesque surroundings with double height suites at the topmost levels. Painted in terracotta color stucco, these frames are juxtaposed with the black basalt stone walls of the lower floors.
