SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS • As mentioned earlier the site requires the restoration and renovation of the structure as well as the new design concept to function • The basic structure of the site can’t be altered.

• The site is located in Haridwar main market and it has 4 shops in the front façade that don’t require any major changes.

• The building has three floors and a private ganga ghat attached to it that can not be changed.

• The building has shops in the front that can be redesigned to sell the local handmade goods for the visitors • The ground floor of the building was renovated 9 years ago so it doesn’t required major changes to the wall and flooring treatment.

PROGRAM • The site is located in the Haridwar near the most visited place har ki paudhi the revered place is the major landmark of the holy city.

• The site is surrounded with all the major temples, restaurants and market in the city, it has railway station and bus stand 7 km away thus it is very easy to reach the guest house • Further this kind of restoration work will help in reducing the demolishing waste in the city .

• Conservation and restoration of heritage buildings are the ultimate forms of reuse in the field of designing.

• This site has a lot of scope for restoration and redesigning since the construction of the site is quite old.

• The aim of the project is to provide a comfort stay for all the visitors near Ganga ghat who wants to relax themselves in the arms of nature • Another idea is to design the space that provides a welcoming aura for the visitors.

• The ground floor of the building will be converted into private rooms that have attached toilets, another floor will be converted into a guest space with proper open dining facilities, private single bedrooms, dorm bedrooms, and leisure spaces.

• Since the area doesn’t have any guest house nearby, it will raise the economic value of the site.

LITERATURE STUDY

‘For peace of mind watch Ganga Aarti of Haridwar.

And spend a few hours in solitude on the banks of the Ganges’

The sacred city of Haridwar offers a colorful and fascinating blend of culture. Being one of the seven holiest cities in India, Haridwar often bustles with devotees. It propitious location near the holy River Ganga has gained more popularity with the passage of time. It has become more than just a religious city, where people thronged to perform immersion of the ashes or took a dip in the water to wash away their sins. It has in fact evolved into Yoga, cultural and spiritual center and has also become a prime hub for learning the Sanskrit language.

WHAT IS HOSPITALITY ?

Hospitality is the relationship between a guest and a host, wherein the host receives the guest with goodwill, including the reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers. Hospitality is also the way people treat others, that is the service of welcoming receiving guests for example in hotels. Hospitality plays a fundamental role to augment or decrease the volume of sales of an organization hence every business should master it. The hospitality industry is unique among other industries in both its breadth and pervasiveness throughout everyday life. From accommodation such as hotels and serviced apartments, to catering and entertainment, to travel agents and cruise operators, the hospitality industry plays an important role in both leisure and business. Because the hospitality industry is so varied, however, the number of well-known businesses involved is also impressively large, including international hotel and restaurant chains, travel operators and many, many more.

ACCOMMODATION This hospitality sector deals with providing places for people to reside. These range from basic lodgings intended for stays of one or two nights, such as a motel or youth hostel. These might offer facilities such as shared dormitories or small private rooms containing minimal furnishings. On the other end of the scale are establishments such as luxury hotels and resorts offering higher end facilities, as well as serviced apartments which may be used for longer-term

WHERE ACCOMMODATION DEALS? ZOSTELS: Popular with younger guests and other budget travellers, Zostels offer basic comforts in a convivial atmosphere. Lodgings may include private rooms but often focus on large shared dormitories furnished with multiple bunk beds. Zostels often emphasise the social element with group activities RESORTS: Resorts range from the humble campground and caravan park to luxurious hotel complexes catering to guests’ every need. The difference between a hotel and a resort is the greater availability of external facilities such as recreation arca’s, private beaches, parks and so on.

HOTELS: Hotels are a little higher up the scale than bed-and breakfast accommodation. Rooms may be basic, with access to a shared bathroom; luxury hotels offer large suites. Some hotels offer extensive facilities and services, such as spas or gymnasia.

MOTELS: Motels focus on short-term lodgings, often aimed at those taking long journeys who need a place to break their trip for a night or two. Facilities tend to be basic and practical, although there are higher-end chains and “theme” motels have their fans.

The purpose of the literature review is to determine the activities the user group their relationships with , and important characteristic of a convention center hotel or guest house facility . The analysis will focus on two basic user groups , the guest and employee staff . It will further examine human behavior within the activities , the establishing the needs of each space requirements containing such activities .

The hotel/hostel should accommodate a wide variety of users .

The hotel facility should accommodate the guest . Guests may consist of the tourist (which includes the family and young people as well ) and conventioneers equally . The hostel will cater to the conventioning guest .

PLANNING

The range of hotel buildings can vary from a simple motel consisting of serviced rooms to the vast complexity of a holiday center or prestige city hotel; each varies incategory, length of stay of guests, essential facilities and ancillary services. The basic planning problem, is considered in relation to the principal sections within a hotel complex and the disposition of these in relation to the site, intercommunication and commercial services.

The sections can be listed as follows:

• Public areas. Arrival area, car parking, entrance hall, enquiry counter, cloakroom, unloading) refuse collection etc.

• Function rooms. Dining room, recreation room, ballroom, etc.

• Bedroom accommodation including linen store, valet service, etc.

• Staff and administration, manager’s office, staff rooms, staff accommodation, etc.

• Service rooms, boiler room, ventilation, electrical intake, etc.

• Each section has both a significance independent of the functions of the hotel, (e.g. the restaurant would serve more than just residents), and an importance within the circulation pattern and economy of service layouts within the hotel as a whole.

• The public areas concerned with large numbers of guests must deal with traffic, unloading, car parking, and the conveyance of luggage in and out of the building.

• Provision must also be made for the unloading of goods, access by staff, collection of refuse, access for security, clear routes for means of escape and access in case of fire.

• The function rooms may require independent access providing for non-residents with traffic circulation to avoid obstruction to access to the hotel. This normally suggests the lower floors, but the particular location of a hotel could ‘benefit by planning the bar, lounge or discotheque on a mezzanine or the top floor.

RESTAURANTS People visit a restaurant to eat, but the best and most popular restaurants offer more than great food and a variety of choices; they also boast extraordinary interior design.

The primary aspects of a restaurant interior design include the following:1. Architecture & Design 2. Lighting 3. Seating 4. Colors 5. Smell 6. Acoustics Different type of sitting arrangements There can be different type of sitting depending on the spacing and the number of the person, they can be a group of 5 to 10 people or can be a single person of a couple. Different kind of arrangement demand the different kind of the table setup and dimension. Some of them are shown below.

Ambience an important tactor in restaurant design: decoration, lighting should be integral part. Large regular spaces should be broken up into smaller more intimate areas, if necessary by means of screens of various heights or decorative features. Changes of level not usually favored by caterers but acceptable providing they make positive contribution to design, do not involve more than 2 or 3 steps and main part of restaurant on same level as kitchen. Where changes of level occur seating areas should be protected by balustrades.

CASE STUDY I Hotel Lebua,

Located in central Lucknow, Lebua is a heritage bungalow turned into a hotel. The hotel is a sprawling colonial bungalow constructed in 1936 and was renovated in 2016 for to be converted into a boutique heritage hotel. It overlooks a lush green lawn and reflects the ‘Art Deco’ style of architecture originated in the early 1900’s.

This Heritage Bungalow has been artistically restored, maintaining its blend of modern hospitality and traditional ethos, which ensures every guest feels like being a part of the rich ‘Ganga-Jamuna’ culture of Lucknow.

INTRODUCTION Lucknow Lucknow, a large city in northern India, is the capital of the state of Uttar Pradesh. Toward its centre is Rumi Darwaza, a Mughal gateway. Nearby, the 18th-century Bara Imambara shrine has a huge arched hall. Upstairs, Bhool Bhulaiya is a maze of narrow tunnels with city views from its upper balconies. Close by, the grand Victorian Husain Abad Clock Tower was built as a victory column in 1881.

Lucknow is known the world over for its old-world glory — its rich cuisine, elegant culture and architectural gems, which are fading into the annals of history and forgetfulness. But thanks to the Lebua Lucknow, there’s hope of a revival. The only certified heritage hotel in the city, Lebua Lucknow has been conceptualized as a traditional 19th-century bungalow and reflects the art deco influence on the architecture and design of early 20th century Lucknow as mentioned earlier.

History The estate, built in 1936, originally belonged to a brigadier’s family who, along with his wife, ran a guesthouse here. After his passing, however, the estate fell into disuse. It remained so until 2014 when the current owners, Lucknow-born expat Mohammed Abdullah and his interior decorator wife Nayab Bakshi, bought the place and lovingly converted it into a boutique hotel. In doing so, they not only gave the house a new lease of life but also ensured that the original structure was retained. As a result, four years later, you have a hotel which feels more like an aristocrat’s home reflecting the nafasat (cleanliness), nazakat (elegance), and tehzeeb (refinement) of the ‘City of Illusions’. Hospitality is in the brick and mortar of this building, and Lebua was just reinforcing that legacy.

ARCHITECTURAL AND INTERIOR EVALUATIONS The art deco façade of Lebua Lucknow hotel looks down on a sprawling lawn. A large porch, an outer veranda, and the office, reflect a 20th-century layout. French doors and windows, stained glass ventilators, arched doorways, mosaic floors, and elaborate chandeliers transport you to the fashionable 1900s, while the modern amenities ensure you do not miss the comfort of the contemporary world.

Attention to detail is everywhere at Lebua, from the intriguing geometric black-and-white pattern on the staircase to the antique furniture casually strewn around everywhere. I was particularly charmed to see that the door handles in public spaces had been replaced with block print moulds in traditional chikankari motifs.

Built over two floors with multiple terraces, courtyards, lawns and corridors, the estate is a tribute to the lavish ‘lakhnavi’ lifestyle of yore. The rooms are huge, the verandahs run through the whole property, and the courtyards, laden with fragrant madhumalti (Rangoon Creeper), have a quaint charm about them.

While the 1.5-acre property has retained its original structure, it has also painstakingly recreated the interiors to reflect the period of its creation. Wooden beams and old doors have been sourced from old havelis across the city; lamps, identical to the ones found in the imambaras of Lucknow have been brought in from Firozabad; brass has been sourced from Aligarh, and the furniture, most of which consists of restored 20th-century pieces, has been shipped from old estates in Lucknow.

This attention to detail can be seen virtually everywhere one’s eye lands, such as the stained glass-and-wood ‘cages’ that house that workaday necessity, the air-conditioner.

INTRODUCTION TO SITE

To say old-world luxury flourishes in this estate is an understatement.

The first space you encounter, after the long winding driveway, is the verandah. Used as a lobby by the hotel, it has been done up using sheesham furniture, vintage lamps, and large sepia-toned photographs of the city. It is now an inviting outdoor seating space, with red brick tiles underfoot and simple white-paint¬ed wrought-iron tables and chairs.

Cof¬fee, tea and snacks can be had here, as one gazes at old trees and creepers that the owners designed the space around. In the wraparound corridor are more touches, such as an old gramophone, de-funct of course, but which cleverly hides a miniature music player that emits gentle melodies on demand.

An arched door leads to the staircase, narrow with checkered tiled steps, it is low and inviting. Another few steps take you to the courtyard with creepers, wrought iron tables, brick flooring, and a small fountain.

Then there are the winding corridors. Tiled to create a vintage look, they are adorned with sheer muslin drapes, antique décor, and a large gramophone, which also plays the choicest of symphonies through the evening.

With an architecture style of the early 1900s, the clean white façade of the Lebua Lucknow ensconces a unique serenity despite its location in the heart of the city. Almost as soon as you enter the hotel’s gate one is transported back to a different era with a couple of vintage cars parked under the porch that add to the feeling of being in a time warp. Inside, a high ceiling, period furniture and black and white photographs of Lucknow through its varied eras lend a simple charm that I experience all through the weekend that I spend here.

ACCOMODATIONS Conceptualised as a sprawling traditional Bungalow, all the 41 Non-Smoking Rooms spread across Lebua Suite, Heritage Suite, Residency & Awadh Room, represent a stunning piece of art, reflecting the very quintessential ‘Lakhnavi’ heritage of living spaces opening unto courtyards and terraces. The rooms range in size from 180 to 500 square feet each, personifying the architecture of the early 1900’s.

Source:- Google image “I am the happy occupant of one of its nine suites (every room and suite are different). Mine is actu¬ally one large room, made larger by push¬ing one of the walls further onto a spa¬cious veranda overlooking a green lawn dotted with old trees. The flooring, which I had noticed in pre-visit publicity pictures, had already caught my eye. It had acted as a sort of visual mne¬monic for me of the city’s famed thing for beauty. The jail pattern and has remained my ideal of beauty, refinement, elegance and a sort of aesthetic intellectualism for decades now. “

Nayantara Patel The Outlook Traveller 7/02/17

No two rooms are the same at Lebua Lucknow. Ranging from 180-500 square feet, the hotel comprises suites (heritage suite and Lebua suite) and singular units (executive and deluxe). The suits have an attached sit-out, while singular units open onto terraces or courtyards. The subtle showcasing of Ganga-Jamuna tehzeeb of Lucknow, however, is common across the rooms. From the zardozi frames on the walls, to the chikan cushions on the bed, local influences not only recreate the elegant lakhnavi lifestyle but also reflect a superlative sense of design and aesthetics that truly represents the dying legacy of this beautiful town.

The flooring of the room is part tile and part Jaisalmer stone, and the rug uses the jaali in grey and white.

Azrak: Beautifully restored doors with traditional chikan block handles and customized handmade Moroccan flooring lead into a world that offers a glimpse of a bygone era. The name “Azrak” comes from the Arabic word for blue – the colour of royalty. The restaurant brings together royal cuisines from three erstwhile princely states of India. And when Awadh, the land of Nawabs, Hyderabad, home to the Nizams, and the Shahi Rajputana come together, the result is magnificent.

Azrak occupies a total of 65-70 people in seats of two, three, four, six and eight.

The Azrak has stylish traditional interiors with the concept of fusing traditional with patio in a semi-royal manner.

The space uses blue vitrified tiles with fluid jali pattern in white colour. Two adjacent walls are located on the outer side of the structure and are completely covered with windows creating a comforting and visually appealing indoor-outdoor relationship.

The most dominant material used in Azrak and as a matter of fact, the whole structure to modernize it was wood. Wood has played an important role in the whole structure, for e.g. beams, ceiling finish, walls, etc.

1: Jali pattern flooring dominating the space visually.

2: Suitable amount of natural light entering the structure through series of windows and doors with glass frames.

• The restaurant includes a live kitchen. The kitchen is planned at a corner with a window placed on one side providing complete transparency to the customers regarding their orders.

SECONDARY FEATURES These features include services such as water supply, emergency exits, landscaping and remaining area usage.

Services: The building has a water heating and storage unit at the roof which has been concealed with the help of a temporary wooden cover. The tank is placed on top of a metal sheet roof at the end of the structure. Below this metal sheet is the location where all the broken furniture and unwanted or unused things are kept, which might be of use in the future. The electrical room for the site is placed on the ground floor at a secluded corner.

Adjacent to the back of Lebua is a residential building but due to the height of the structure and the buffer wooden wall, the view from the balconies of these apartments is blocked.

This area has a direct access from the circulation area for the residents and is at another level with the help of staircase.

Patnimal house, Haridwar

Back space: At the same end of the site (behind) as mentioned above, the unwanted belongings of the hotel are kept, ones that are either broken or are used in times of construction, or maintenance.

This area is situated right below the space where the water and heat service tanks are placed.

Emergency exit: The structure is quite open in nature, and has abundant number of staircases placed at convenient spots for comfortable vertical circulation for both the residents and the staff members. Still an emergency staircase has been provided which leads directly to one of the open courtyards present in the site. This staircase is enclosed by walls and is quite narrow. This must be because the structure was originally a residence and wasn’t in need of an emergency exit, thus a convenient staircase was chosen to be the emergency exit. This staircase is 1000mm wide and has a riser of 180mm designed as a beige shaded matt texture tile, whereas the tread is 300mm wide with finishing of black antiskid tiles.

Natural ventilation: Natural sunlight and ventilation have been properly accomplished inside the structure with the help of artificial elements added in the construction such as roshandans (skylights).

Skylights ensure that the hot air that accumulates inside a room is taken out so that it doesn’t cause any kind of discomfort to the user by taking advantage of the light weight of hot air compared to cold air. This is a technique that has been part of traditional style of construction that doesn’t require any kind of machinery or energy. A play with heights has also been done throughout the structure which proves to be a visual treat as well as combats any kind of indoor.

Exit to the emergency staircase leading to the open courtyard with a narrow passage adjacent to it.

Anthropometry: Anthropometry refers to the measurement of the human individual. At Lebua, all the elements concerning anthropometry have been looked at with abundance. As an element of traditional architecture and designing style is to provide access pathways to be more than required in both height as well as width, it has been followed accordingly.

All access doors to different sections of the building have entrances vast in size. The door leading from the waiting area to the reception is approximately 3000mm high and around 2000mm wide thus providing enough space for people to move and also gives a grand feeling to those coming in for a fine dine.

In addition to that, all the doors leading inside the residences are of 1000mm width each, thus giving a freeing and independent vibe to the occupant.

Upon entering the residential zone, we are first introduced to the main courtyard which is surrounded by corridor on all sides. The front side is approximately 3500 mm wide and also has seating provided for the occupants, and the rest of the sides are approximately 1500 mm each thus giving the impression of a “Nawabi Darbar”.

CASE STUDY III Complex Taj Rishikesh Resort & Spa To reach Badrinath, one of India’s holiest towns and temples. Pilgrims in the past would have committed to an arduous trek up steep mountain passes on foot, pausing for rest in temporary shelters during journeys that lasted between three months to a year. These flimsy refuges and narrow paths are still visible today on the majestic site that plays host to the first five-star resort located on the Ganges, set in the foothills of the mighty Himalayas, upriver from the city of Rishikesh. More than eight years in the making, Taj Rishikesh Resort & Spa started life as an plot of agricultural land spotted by Canadian-Indian entrepreneur Arjun Mehra, who, while white-water rafting around a double bend in the river, realized this would have been the route that his great grandmother took more than a century ago: “It felt very nostalgic to sit and observe the exact path where she found the motivation to undertake such a difficult pilgrimage,” he explains. “The view across to the awe-inspiring Himalayan mountains that have stood for so many s generations proved both humbling and invigorating.”

Source:- Google image

To realized the potential of the sun-dappled site – enclosed on three sides by the alluring emerald green glacial waters – Mehra started to sketch out his vision for a resort that would meet sustainable development principles while fitting seamlessly into its magnificent natural surroundings. “We envisioned a design that incorporates elements of the local Himalayan architecture, as seen in both ancient fort temples and villages,” he continues. “We wanted to use materials that followed the same concept. In essence, we wanted our resort to be seen as a natural extension of the Ganges River, albeit with luxurious modern comforts.”

The Indian Himalayas, a steep mountain landscape through which the sacred Ganges River meanders, is a nature that supersedes all human construction. For the development of the hotel complex Taj Rishikesh, it was this modesty in face of the grandiosity of the place that guided our approach.

The project was developed following a trip to the Indian Himalayas, where we studied the traditional vernacular architecture developed over millennia. This architecture evolved in response to the rugged mountain topography and the locally available materials, and this established the foundation of the project.

The resort, located 250 km north-east of New Delhi, incorporates the main hotel block and a series of villas on a vast and steep site overlooking the Ganges River. The site layout is inspired by traditional Himalayan villages, anchored around a Darbargadh, the traditional residence of local rajas or lords.

A long sinuous central pathway unites the property, winding through the different plateaus and leading to the various buildings of the resort complex. From the national highway at the top of the site, this long ribbon gently unfolds, connecting the main hotel block on the top plateau to the villas on the intermediate terraces. The path then travels further down to the yoga and spa pavilions at a lower plateau, only to end its journey at the swimming pool and restaurants that directly overlook the beach on the banks of the Ganges. This serpentine line of light-colored gravel winds elegantly through the site, just as the Ganges meanders through the Indian Himalayas.

Adding to the room inventory is a succession of spacious premium villas set along the contour lines of the stepped terraces, with stone walls demarcating each plateau and a meandering, sloped, grass-lined path taking guests down to this central section of the resort. Indigenous trees have been absorbed into the landscaping and one particular spot, where five species emerge intriguingly from one base, remains the site of a small holy temple tended to by local villagers. From here, the lower part of the property opens to a series of meadows, terraced lawns and pavilions including two that house the Jiva Spa. Daily yoga in a classical open-air pavilion is an integral part of the routine at Taj Rishikesh, while a similar pavilion invites guests down a central feature staircase to the spa reception. Contemplative, white and generously sized, with Scandinavian and Romanesque touches, the spa is embedded into the site close to the river, its interior spaces opening out to vantage points of the landscape below. A short walk takes visitors to the infinity pool, its colour matched to the water of the river, and its edges appearing to spill onto the pebble beach found at the foot of Taj Rishikesh.
