The challenge was to create a guest house with all the amenities of a 3-star hotel on a 500
sq yards of plot. The challenge was to maximize the number of rooms as to generate a great
ROI for the client while maintaining the standards of a 3-star hotel. Another challenge was
to incorporate the façade details provided by the client in the design to standardize their
guest houses.
The idea was to maximize the number of rooms in the buildings. The core of the building
was set somewhat in the middle, the reception was created in front of it on the ground
floor, with a cloud kitchen at the back to serve the guest house. The entire public spaces
were on the ground floor and the upper floors had all the rooms. A central opening was
created from first floor to fourth floor to gain light in the corridors and create a courtyard
feel in the guest house. The rooms and bathroom sizes were sufficient enough to create
wardrobes and seating area. 4 rooms were huge in size, which were taken to be as suit
rooms. 1 room on each floor. The services were kept on the terrace, provision of fresh air in
each room and bathroom was provided using a huge exhaust fan on the terrace. The other
services like DG, electrical panel, solar panel etc. were provided on the terrace which was
made to absorb most of the vibrations.
Amateur graffiti were done on the wall depicting the scene of the function in space. This
was done to create a lively environment in the corridors and cafeteria. Modular furniture
was created which was repeated in all the rooms with wooden flooring to provide a luxury
feel to the guest. The façade was carefully created following the theme giving by the
company, using red, grey and black combination all around. Purpose of using red was to
highlight the building from a distance which would attract more guests. Each room was
provided with a balcony as the location of guest house was very prime and the entire city
skyline could be seen. Storage and other utilities were taken care of for ease in working of
the hotel.
