PROJECT DESCRIPTION
An alternate universe blends Corbusier's design principles with vibrant French-Punjabi culture in this hotel. The design is characterized by bold colors, playful patterns, and modern forms, using honest materials like brick, wood, and brass. Guests are greeted by surreal installations, including yellow mirror panels that evoke Punjab's mustard fields. The all-day dining area merges contemporary French and traditional influences, creating a unique and eclectic ambiance. The ballroom stands out with its crystal-studded ceiling and phulkari-inspired décor, while guestrooms offer a luxurious retreat with serene color palettes, fluted panels, and classic bathroom tiles.
The hotel’s design journey includes moody corridors with groovy carpets leading to intimate spaces where modern luxury meets cultural richness. Each area, from the playful function rooms to the sophisticated guest suites, is crafted to offer refined and immersive experiences. The journey culminates in a convex mirror, symbolizing the infinite plush experiences within the hotel, blending timeless elegance with contemporary flair.
