BUILDING ANALYSIS-
BUILDING CONCEPT
 Due to site area constraint (3 acre) building was restricted to expand
horizontally so 9 storey high guest room tower was designed.
 The form of the building suits best to the site characteristics and form.
 Guests rooms are so placed such that they get the views of airport, green fields
and the pool area of the hotel.
 2 wings ( guest rooms + recreation spaces) are there connected by corridor
through shopping arcade.
 Central courtyard is also created and around it restaurants are placed.
 HOTEL FORM WITH MIXTUREOF NO. OF FORMS
• Giving view to the guest tower is the major concern in any five star followed by well
functional spaces.
• All hotel suites are arranged to face the sculpted courtyard, which has been cut out to present
a reflective light in courtyard for reception & lounge.
• Every feature in the design adds to the aesthetic appeal of the hotel while adding another
touch of seclusion and intimacy for residents in Hotel.
