terrace gardens, THE AVASA

LOCATION

Avasa is located at survey no 64 at the huda techno

enclave at madhapur in the hitech city of hyderabad.
Timmidkunta lake (approx. 2km) and mallana gutta
(approx. 7km) are close to the hotel. Worthy places of
interest nearby also include the nehru zoological park,
shilparamam and the nizam's silver jubilee museum
The avasa hotel is located near
to hitec city which is also very
near to shopping mall like in
orbit,hicc convention centre

REASONS FOR SELECTION:

1.It was well designed in a small site

2.The interrelationship of different areas
of the back of the house and front
of the house and their co-relationship
with each other

DESIGN CONCEPT:

1.It was designed such an aesthically with

STEPPED TERRACE GARDENS with
respect to the site
2.It intimate interlude for
relaxation,bussiness & convention
3. With 98% of the lighting being led,
SALIENT
avasa is FEATURES:
a highly environment friendly
The
hotel avasa was established in the year 2012
property.
It was owned by STAMLO HOTELS GROUP
IT was designed by NANDU ASSOCIATES
Hotel avasa was established to meet the demand
Of software people and tourists visting hyderabad
2.The irregular shaped site was the
biggest design challenge. The site is
wide towards the road and narrows
down towards the back. The building
follows the site and looks like the
letter a in plan
3. The design of the hotel responds to
its context with a highly site-specific
scheme. Due to limited open space on
site and in the vicinity, a continuous
green space has been conceived in
the form of stepped terraces
.

THE SECTION
The building sections were the most
important detail in the design process. The
section, through the terraces explains the
buildings spatial qualities at its best. The
spatial drama is created by the receding
terraces that seem to invite the elements
right to its core. The green relief and visual
connect at upper levels, is both exciting
and enthusing.
Vertical circulation through this stepped
section is achieved through 3 separate
banks of lifts. One set in the west wing
commutes between the banquets and

AVASA HYDERABAD
4 STRUCTURE...The hotel is a 11 storey high building therefore the structure of the
building is thought-fully designed r.C.C. Framed structure, which has created flexible
spaces in the interior.
For the grand ballroom, a post tensioned slab of 300mm thickness was conceived to
create shallow beams and provide more clear height.
A Vierendeel truss structural system was used for the stepped terrace to make them
self-supporting. The Sky-Bar also uses a three floor Vierendeel truss. This was used
as there were large spans from 14m to 25m
6.MATERIALS AND GREEN IDEAS
The stepped elevation faces north, bringing in natural north light into the atrium and
enhances energy efficiency. Granite used for flooring and cladding throughout the
property have been sourced from local sites reducing the carbon footprint. The
flooring for the main lobby and banquet halls is agglomerated quartz surfaces from
Quantra which is manufactured within the state.
Horizontally perforated clay bricks produced by Wienerberger has been used for the
infill masonry and non-load bearing partition walls. Main advantages of using these
bricks being reduction of dead loads, saving structural costs and faster construction.
Aluco-bond/Metal cladding was deliberately kept to the bare minimum
7 circulationsvehicular movement is restricted only to the periphery of the site
with only pedestrian movement allowed inside the blocks creating a very clean
environment. Parking has been kept in the basement & and very few surface parking
is allowed

containing the arrival porte-cochere, the

The first level contains the banqueting facilities
including the grand ballroom which is
connected directly to the ground level portecochere by a grand staircase.
The second level is the service floor over the
banquet corridors.
The third level has the first room floor with spa

The central atrium space opens out to the pool
deck and terrace function space with alfresco
bar.
The stepped terraces at each higher floor have
been given a different character. Thus, the
room corridors on each floor have a unique
experience, where guests experience the
naturally lit corridors and the lush cascading
