It isn’t just the peacock that flaps its wings

SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS
• Separate entrance for hotel,
convention block, recreational block
and service courtyard.
• Landscaping incorporates exterior and
interior spaces. Guestrooms are
planned around MUGHAL and OVAL
COURT and are in three floors. Each
court has a water body as its focal point
of attraction.
• Presidential suite is located at the rear
end of the guestroom wing and
separate entry is defined for it. The
specialty of Presidential suite is the
view of TAJ from the bed of every
room.
• Guestroom block is to tally segregated
from the main public areas and pool
court. The resident has to move quite a
distance to reach his destination.
• Parking is provided on the surface for
hotel and convention block visitors.
Staff parking is in service courtyard.
• To break the linearity of guestroom
corridors, water channel is provided in
ground floor and cutouts are made in
first and second floor. The A.C. ducts
and other electrical and mechanical
fittings in the service area are exposed
creating a pattern on the ceiling.
• Redefinition of traditional elements
into modern forms, including the
planning which is that of a traditional
haveli planned around a courtyard and
elements like baradari, jharokhas and
terraces have been included.
• The maximum space of lobby is
wasted in circulation. Also the seating
capacity of the lobby is insufficient.
• Guest room are planned in a confusing
manner. The maximum distance of a
room from entrance lobby is 121mt.
• Although kitchen is centralized, the
room service kitchen is 157mt. From
the farthest room.
• The atriums in the cluster of guest
gives feeling of deep dungeons. The
zig- zag movement in the corridors
gives a feeling of uncertainty.
• Recreation activities like discotheque,
home theatre, health club, indoor
games and shopping arcades, all are
centered in the basement, quite away
from lobby. Also change rooms are in
the basement while the pool is at the
ground floor level.
• Due to horizontal spread of the hotel,
the circulation area is 31%.
• The HAWA MAHAL, open terrace
garden gives the ugly view of the outer
skyline, thereby destroying the beauty
of the place.
• The executive business lounge serves
the customers with all the facilities
related to business information and
communication.

ARCHITECT / THE OBEROI
UDAIVILAS
Nimish Patel studied at the MIT,
Cambridge, USA, with specialization in
Urban Settlement Design in Developing
Countries, and also has a Diploma in
Architecture from CEPT, Ahmedabad. He
is a core team member of the Whole School
Development Plan carried out by M i n i s t r
y o f Human R e s o u r c e Development and
a Member of the Panel of Sustainability,
Bureau of Indian Standards for the
upcoming National Building Code.
DESIGN JOURNEY OF MAKING
UDAIVILAS, UDAIPUR
Udaivilas is a 30-acre resort located on land
along the lake where the Maharanas of
Mewar once began their hunting trips. The
predominantly single-story structure rises
with the slope of the land, creating different
levels and stunning views of the 17th- and
18th-century island palaces and the long,
sprawling City Palace.
“The design is an assimilation of the spaces
in traditional royal residential palaces,
using Mewari architectural elements," says
architect Nimish Patel, who, with partner
Parul Zaveri, conceived the building.
Guests are ferried across the lake and arrive
by golf cart at the main gate, whose large
cusped arch has historically been used by
Mewar craftsmen. Other Mewari features,
such as large domes and cupolas
(ghummats and ghumtis), arrest the eye and
define the Udaivilas skyline. Chhatris, or
ornamental pavilions, dot the roofline. The
entire complex - with 90 rooms, including
five suites - is a creamy white monotone
that instills an overall serenity. This effect is
achieved with ghutai, a traditional lime-
plastering technique that requires up to 18
months of preparation and is known to last
centuries without any maintenance.
Udaivilas rambles elegantly around verdant
gardens and courtyards. One courtyard has
a dramatic, rectangular swimming pool
rimmed with alternating squares of black-
granite and white-marble steps leading
down to the water; another features a pond
with large, carved marble lily pads.
Fountains and reflecting pools throughout
the grounds soothe the soul like a restful
yoga pose and catch the light like the gold
thread on vermilion saris. The project also
generated employment for more than 300
craftspersons for more than 3 years.
The Oberoi Udaivilas
Achieve a balance between continuity with the past, without fossilizing
it, and a change for the future without making it incongruous with its
contextual surroundings.

LOBBY
Sumptuous but refined, the lobby sets the
interior theme of Udaivilas.

Dome In The Lobby

A large dome with floral painting on
gold leaf gives an arrival royal
importance.
"An eclectic approach to the décor
was most suitable," says Malaysia-
based designer Jeffrey Wilkes.
"Applied decoration, like mirror
inlay, was inspired by Udaipur's
Lake Palace and City Palace. We
also used Déco-style furniture and
other period pieces.”
RESTAURANTS
Udaivilas has two restaurants as well as
outdoor dining areas. The informal Surya
Mahal, for all-day dining, has a '30s-era
colonial feel. Udai Mahal, the evening
restaurant, is an octagonal space, edged in
cusped arches. The domed ceiling, painted
midnight blue with gold stars, evokes the
evening sky. Temptations range from
saffron linguini to prawn curry with
coconut and curry leaf to the dishes of the
royal kitchen, like gholiya, a stewed lamb.
The Udaivilas chefs trained directly under
the few surviving chefs to royalty in
Rajasthan.

DINING
• SURYAMAHAL AND CHANDNI
Suryamahal is a daytime dining space,
crowned with a sky blue, cloud brushed
dome. Tables nestled in interconnecting
domes afford spectacular views of the
hotel's gardens, while outside, Chandni
offers stunning views of the City Palace and

• 8 to 12 Floors 1:25 mtr/sec.
• 12 to 16 Floors 2:40 mtr/sec.

Air Conditioning
Air conditioning is defined as a process which cools or heats, cleans, circulates,
freshens air and controls the moisture content simultaneously.

The principle at work is EVAPORATION. In the refrigeration cycle, a refrigerant

with low evaporation temperature is used in cooling coil.

Air Conditioning Systems

Depending upon the type of loads and use, following are the suitable systems:-

LOADS UNITS SUITABLE

Upto Five Tons Window Units

From Five To Forty Tons Package Units
From Forty To Hundred Tons Direct Expansion Plant
More Than Hundred Tons Central System

As in any medium sized hotel, load

required is more than hundred tons.
Central system is best for such type of
commercial buildings. These are
assembled at the site in a central location
usually in a plant room. This plant room
could be in a basement or adjacent to the
bldz to be air-conditioned.

the cooling coils or chilled water tubes single skinned and the double skinned.

Single Skinned : They have a single layer

cabinet and are usually placed inside an
AHU room which is insulated to avoid
head and sound away.

Double Skinned : It has an inner cabinet

and the outer cabinet. A layer of thermal
insulation is sandwiched between the two
cabinets.
Central Plant comprises equipment like :-
One Or More Compressors Condensnors
Air Handling Units Water Chillers
Cooling Towers

CENTRAL SYSTEMS

CENTRAL SYSTEMS CHILLED WATER SYSTEM

In DX SYSTE, air is cooled and
conditioned in the plant room. This
treated air is then pumped to various
parts of bldg. the returning air is sucked
through a coil fin arrangement by a fan.
The refrigerant inside the coil picks up
heat from this air and evaporates. The
cold air is then pumped back to air
conditioned space. The heat exchange
takes place in AHU.
In this system, an interaction of the water
and refrigerant takes place. The
refrigerant in the shell and rube heat
exchanger evaporates by picking up heat
from the water in the other portion of the
heat exchanger. This chilled water is then
circulated to various FCU and AHU.
This system is also preferred where
multiple zones are to be cooled.

COOLING TOWER
In the water cooled a,c system the heat
from the room is transferred to evaporator,
from where it is transferred to the
condenser and to the cooling tower which
finally transfers the heat into the
atmosphere.
In the cooling tower, the water is sprayed
through nozzles into the air which
becomes small droplets and evaporates
thereby losing heat and becoming cool.
This cool water falls into a sump tank at the
bottom of the cooling tower from where it
is pumped into the shell and take
condenser and the cycle repeats again. The
typical types of cooling towers are:
